Light fixture for large bedroom, low ceilings
Comments (17)I also thought of that Kathy Ireland fixture..:) I have it saved as well the diameter is though smaller than what you were looking for..not that it makes it a "no"..but I remembered you wanting a bigger one you can though, besides contemplating the overhead lighting.. a) go for sconces. besides lamps etc. they're higher..gives a different feel. b) consider installing a skylight. totally changes the perception of the ceiling's height it is a personal preference..and a matter of what one's accustomed to. I grew up having overhead lights. True, our ceilings were much higher then.. Together with that, you should do the best with the space you've got I broke the rule of "no overhead lights with standard ceilings"..where I could of course..I'm happy I did-it breaks the expanse of the ceiling..brings more interest..you're less concentrating on that "oh my ceilings are low" but every room is different. some are square, some are rectangular....some are darker, some are naturally lighter..take your own unique space into account say, in the master that's kinda long, we installed a skylight...put a pendant in the corner, over the sitting area..installed sconces...also have table lamps of course in DD's room that's small and already has a skylight, we didn't hardwire anything, but I bought this vintage wall chandelier..a long sconce, essentially..it's not overhead lighting yet it looks like one...:) that brings the feeling that chandeliers usually give..and what's important is the feeling. The feeling, you can get in many ways, as I've learned... In other rooms that are either smaller or somehow more conductive to have this overhead lighting, I went with flush mounts or semi flush..it looks totally fine. They're all on dimmers-we saw to that..and there are other lamps in the rooms, table ones next to beds, and floor ones, and sconces..so you don't rely on this overhead light only..but you have it. You have layers of lighting, and it gives you all the flexibility. And you control the feel and the function..which is obviously a very good thing. That taught me there are no rules set in stone..you look at your room and you see by what means you can get the feel and the function you're after. And if it's a mix that's the best of course....See MoreShould I add a ceiling fan in a bedroom?
Comments (6)That is the worst type of light to have in a room. If you need a ceiling fan and adding recessed lights isn’t in the budget, adding a light is an option. Just make sure you have plenty of lamps in the room - that is a much nicer light. Flank the beds with table lamps and put a floor lamp in a corner. If there’s a desk or dresser, you can put a desk or small table lamp on those....See MoreFell in love with a 13" light fixture--we have 8' ceilings
Comments (1)Hello! This is definitely fine, especially if there is a coffee table under it. I try not to have my lighting hang below 80" from the from the floor, that is usually my go to measurement. It is gorgeous, nice find! For similar lighting check out Circa or Visual Comfort....See MoreKids Bedroom lighting recess lighting vs single fixture
