Media room sconce lights7/27/2023 ![]() Reading lamps in the bedroom and wall lamps in the living room can be placed a half a foot to a foot above your shoulders for ideal lighting to get through a page turner or read to your kids while seated comfortably on the couch.

I think they were the perfect Fall addition to our room - it feels SO much more cozy and welcoming! And with the addition of a new cable knit throw (also from Pottery Barn) we are ready for SNUGGLING! They had the beautiful warm finish and library look I wanted, they could swing back and forth AND they were plug-ins, so all we had to do was measure and hang! So, I was SUPER excited to find these Pottery Barn Walker Sconces. I wanted swing arm lights that I could move side to side to bring the best light for reading. The next best option was to find plug in lamps, which is sometimes easier said than done. ![]() Since there were no existing sconces, adding wired in lamps was going to get expensive since we wanted THREE of them. ![]() With Fall nesting in full swing, I have been dreaming of wall sconces around the room as perfect mood lighting for snuggling up on the sofa all winter long. The sectional takes up pretty much all the available space in the room so there was not enough space for end tables or lamps.īut without ambient lighting around the room, it didn’t feel as cozy as I wanted it to. But even so, at night, you’ll have dark corners unless you have more lighting. Never ever have a room with only a center light, unless maybe you are lucky enough to have amazing windows all around the room. ![]() There is one window and a center light in the middle of the room and that is IT. Meanwhile, let’s talk about the new lights! I’ve got plans for it though, so I will update on it when I can. I didn’t take a photo of the other side of the room because I haven’t done anything to that side yet. Our family room does not have a TV, just a cozy fireplace.īut this room is where we watch movies together, read, fold laundry and my son plays games video games. Actually we call it that just to distinguish it from our family room, which is downstairs connected to the kitchen. I call it “the media room” because that makes it sound fancy even though we just have a normal TV. Lighting makes SUCH a huge difference in how a room looks and feels, especially in the Fall and winter months when you want to snuggle in on the sofa with a good book - the lighting needs to be just right. You all probably know by now that I love cute lights. And of course, I LOVE fall nesting :-) One of the ways I like to add charm and personality to my house is through light fixtures.
