Tea Light Holders Make Great Wall Lighting


There is much to be said about how lighting can affect the mood and ambiance inside your home.  The general feeling is that in interior design circles, the way a space is lit is just as important as the stuff that you put in the space.  In other words, without the right lighting, a space can live to be less than its potential.  Wall sconce lighting makes a great way to add a touch of lighting that help create an intimate setting.  Intimate doesn’t need to mean romantic, it can also mean warm.  The type of light that a wall sconce fixture typically emits is a warmer, more indirect type of light.

You can choose to get more task or spot lighting as well from your fixtures, but these will be things more like a recessed lighting fixture or something more exotic like a chandelier.  We’ll talk about these in a moment.  For now, let’s stick with the indirect lighting ideas.  Another less appreciated wall lighting idea is to use something like these tea light holders that you have probably seen.  They come in a wide variety of styles that can suite most any type of interior design that you have.  Most home decor features have one theme that is carried throughout a space.  With tea lights, you can get just the right amount of twinkle from the flame and just let the rest of your home’s decorative features do your design ‘dirty work’ for you.

Now, about the other types of lighting.  We’ve talked briefly about the overhead lighting that you might find in a typical home.  The recessed or ‘can lights’ as they are often called serve a good type of flood light.  This type of light is best for illuminating large areas without wanting to have one main fixture hanging from the ceiling.  They are certainly less esthetically pleasing, but they are definitely functional.  If you want something much more decorative, then you might consider a chandelier.  A chandelier makes a great accent piece and can also provide both functional light as well as ambiance for your space.
