One of life\u2019s little pleasures is lying around in bed and taking in a great book or surfing the Internet. With all the thought and planning that you have given to the furnishings and bedding, don\u2019t forget to complete the look of your bedroom<\/a> with the appropriate lighting.<\/p>\n

Good lighting<\/a> is essential to any room, especially areas in which tasks are performed. If you read next to the nightstand before sleep, then you\u2019ll want lighting that is easy on your eyes.<\/p>\n

Most nightstands are around 30\u201d to 32\u201d tall, and are nearly even with the mattress. If you use a lamp, aim for one that is somewhere between 25\u201d to 27\u201d tall. As you sit up in bed, the light should cast across the reading surface but not feel like it glares into your eye.<\/p>\n

If space is a premium on your nightstand, then consider wall mounting sconces or swing arm lamps to light your space. Swing arm lamps are a great alternative as they can be folded back when not in use, but pulled out and adjusted to give you the right amount of light. Three-way bulbs or dimmer switches give you the right amount of control.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s more glamorous bedrooms will want to consider a chandelier for bedside lighting. Mini chandeliers can be hung low so that they are at the right height above the nightstand, and can be put on a dimmer switch so that you can control the amount of light. This option provides ambiance to your space.<\/p>\n

The bedroom furniture stores at Hickory Furniture Mart have plenty of inspiration for bedroom lighting. If you use a vanity area to get ready, consider feminine candlestick lamps that not only provide ample light to apply makeup, but that also reflect the mood of the space.<\/p>\n

Dresser lighting needs to provide adequate brightness to find items in drawers or jewelry boxes. As you look around the room, be sure to vary the heights of your lamps, while still having a nice mix of materials. Glass bases with simple shades are elegantly modern. Ceramic lamps with interesting patterns add a punch of color. It is also nice to mix in metal lighting if you have an abundance of wood<\/p>\n

Check out all the great options for bedroom lighting when you visit the North Carolina furniture outlets<\/a>. You\u2019ll find the best selection at wonderful prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
