New Classics: The Boston Library Light
These swing-arm sconces save space, focus the light and look great in kitchens, bedrooms and, yes, libraries of all styles
There's a saavy and stylish wall-mounted swing-arm light that's been popping up all over Houzz lately. It's the Boston Library Light by Sandy Chapman, and it's not just for libraries. This light works well for highlighting books and art, providing overhead kitchen light and saving space as a bedtime reading light or as a desk light. While its style is traditional, it's classic form fits into just about any style of decor. Here's a look.
No side table is required for this comfortable reading nook, thanks to the wall-mounted light.

The lights are a great choice for a child's room. Using them for reading means the light is directed at the book and won't disturb a roommate.
