Have you ever wondered how upscale restaurants and hotels achieve a soft, romantic ambiance? The answer is shockingly simple: lighting. That’s right; lighting can set the tone of a room instantly. Think about how a sun room with ceiling to floor windows with light streaming in from every angle makes you feel happy. In contrast a shadowy basement can cause you to grab what you need and scurry away.
To create a stylish, romantic atmosphere in your own home, try decorating with Tiffany wall sconces. These beautiful creations cast a light reminiscent of flickering candles. The light is directed upwards, protecting the eye from the harshness of the bulb, while casting a soft glow on everything below. You can line your hallway with sconces or accent a prominent piece of artwork by placing sconces on either side. Whatever room you hang a wall sconce in is sure to take on an elegant, romantic feel.
