Lighting has never been more simple or cheaper to incorporate into your home. Many homes already are equipped with ceiling lights. A wall sconce is a good way to increase eye-level lighting. They instantly add architectural details and help make rooms feel more spacious and comfortable. It is possible to be worried that installing wall sconces is expensive dirty and requires a new wiring. A professional electrician may be required. Well don’t stress! Numerous battery lightbulbs (LED bulbs that screw into a sconce however are powered by a rechargeable battery) are now on the market. It is possible to purchase a wall sconce that is hard-wired. Remove the wires and connect it to the wall. Include a battery-operated light bulb into the sconce and you’ll have an sconce that works, without needing to open up your walls. The same concept works with table lamps, if you do not have a plug in the vicinity or wish to place it on a bookshelf, for example. You can now remove the lamp from plug and put the bulb into the socket.

You’ve decorated the room to your heart’s content, yet you’re not done.

Boo! People are increasingly embracing natural minimalism and preferring a wood-paneled look to achieve that awe-inspiring appearance. Recently, I had an individual client who was a tenant and could not afford painting. Even the possibility of wood paneling, the expense would have been out of her budget. However, I was able use a clever trick! I discovered a peel-and-stick wallpaper that had wooden panel patterns printed on it. It transformed dramatically when I hung the wallpaper in the bedroom of my client. It instantly added warmth and texture to the room. Vertical lines make the ceiling appear to be twice as high.

When you move or want to change the look of your wall, simply remove the wallpaper.
