Bring focused task light into the bedroom by creating a safe and balanced look with sconces placed on each side of the bed. Pair with headboards to reach the pinnacle of sophistication. Choosing sconces rather than floor lamps and table lamps frees up space on the floor and nightstand and gives a safe, electrical cord-free environment for children and animals. This also removes the possibility of an unattended lamp being knocked to the ground. You can match sconces easily with any type of bedroom decor. Choose the sconces that are shaped and colored to fit the mood of the room. Try flower-shaped sconces for a floral feel to the room. Use simple-shaped sconces for a more serious tone.

You can place the room’s other furnishings to use the natural light most effectually, followed by the lighting provided by the sconce. Choose curtains and drapes that fit your decor and mood as the sconces will highlight them for you. Use decorative sconces that carry their own spark to bring eyes away from the curtains to focus more on the sconces.
