Wall Lighting for Every Room in your Home

Wall light fixtures, such as sconces and wall lamps, are often overlooked when lighting purchases are made. Why is this? Some may be hesitant of the installation factor – wall fixtures need to be mounted and may need minor electrical work as well. With floor and table lamps, one need simply plop the light down, plug it in, and voila – let there be light. So yes, there is a little extra work or installation cost (for you non do-it-yourselfers), as opposed to other lighting options. But there are also some major advantages wall lighting has over standard lamps. Floor and table space for one. Everyone wants more room for family photos, trinkets, and even plants on their end tables, and wall lighting is a great way to get this space while still adequately lighting a room. Second, with floor and table lamps come unsightly and often dangerous (especially if you have kids running around) electrical cords. Properly installed wall lights are hard-wired and all wiring is hidden behind your walls giving your room an ultra-clean look. Let’s take a look at a few popular wall lighting options, shall we.

Sconces, or wall sconces if you prefer, are a very popular lighting fixture with models designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Wall sconces generally don’t jut out too far from a wall, like wall lamps can, and are usually fixed in a single position. They can be uplights or downlights, and some designs can even be mounted in either position. This feature just adds to the sconce’s versatility. Sconces work well in almost any room, but are ideal for halls and entryways, and can even work well in dining rooms.

Similar to the sconce, but possessing a personality all its own, is the wall lamp. This wall fixture distinguishes itself by generally having the ability to swivel and swing on a jointed arm. The wall lamp thus juts out farther from the wall than a standard sconce. The swinging arm makes the wall lamp perfect for living rooms and bedrooms, or anywhere one does a lot of reading. The adjustable nature of these fixtures puts you in control of the lighting more so than most any other light fixture you can buy.

Perhaps the quintessential wall light is bathroom lighting. These fixtures can vary from a single light to five or six lights long, making them a no-brainer for pretty much every bathroom. Like the wall sconce, these fixtures can work as uplights or downlights, and some are indeed reversible. These once boring fixtures are now produced in so many striking designs, picking one out can be a difficult task.

How to Replace an Outdoor Wall Mounted Light

Outdoor wall mounted lighting will always serve two purposes to enhance the surroundings of your home. Not only does this lighting light the way at night so walking around your home is more convenient, but these wall mounted lamps serve as added security and will deter would be burglars or vandals from the thought of entering your surrounding property.

So this is why, when your outdoor wall lighting becomes old and worn out, you should take the time to replace these fixtures. This particular fixture is not difficult to replace and with the correct procedures there is no need to have the added expense of having an electrician do this job for you.

To start off, the tools you will need should not be more than a screwdriver, pliers and in some cases a small adjustable wrench.

Before you go to remove the old wall lighting fixture, be sure to turn off the electric current going to the lighting fixture.

Now it is time to remove the old fixture. On the mounting plate that is secured tightly against the wall with a sealing gasket, begin to remove the bolt that is fastening the plate to the wall. Some of these plates are secured by one bolt and others are secured by several bolts. Remove the bolt/s slowly making sure you have a good grip on the lighting fixture, so the fixture won’t fall and break.

After you remove the wall mounting plate you should be able to see the wires connecting the fixture to the power source. The wires coming from the old fixture and the wires coming from the wall will be connected by a twist connector. There should be only two connecting wires.

The next thing to do is untwist these connectors and the wire ends will come out of the connectors. After you remove the connectors, the connected wire ends should still be twisted together. Now you should untwist the wire ends and disconnect the old fixture wires from the wires coming from the wall. This procedure will detach the old fixture and you may discard the old outdoor wall mounted light.

Now it is time to install your new wall fixture. Assemble and wire the new fixture to the two wires coming from the wall with the twist connectors. There are usually one dark colored wire and one light colored wire. Make sure you connect the dark wire from the wall with the dark colored wire from the fixture. The same goes for the light colored wires.

Take the new wall mounting plate for the new fixture and using the waterproofing gasket between the wall and the mounting plate, secure the mounting plate on the wall by bolting the mounting plate securely into the wiring box inside the wall.

Now is time to mount the fixture. This procedure is easy to do because the mounting plate will have the holes for mounting the new outdoor wall mounted light with as many bolts as the holes provided.

Once you have mounted the fixture, insert a light bulb, turn on the power going to the fixture and switch the light on. It’s as easy as that.

Outdoor wall mounted lighting is available in almost unlimited styles and features. You might want to consider adding features like timers or motion sensors to add to the security of your home

Replacing outside wall mounted lighting is something that needs to be done from time to time. When you know how to do this correctly, the job can be done quickly, easily and safely.

Wooden Wall

Hello! I'm looking to hang a wooden cabinet on a basement wall that is made out of thin masonite paneling.

There is nothing behind the paneling, such as wooden beams, to grab on to, and when this cabinet is filled, it will probably weigh about 40 pounds. Since it will be filled with my autographed baseball collection, I don't want it falling off the wall! Any suggestions?? Thanks very much!

Wall Candle Holder - Real or Electric

I have a cousin who lives outside of Denver, Colorado. A few weeks ago, he called me to get some information on my opinion of different types of wall candle holders for his log cabin home in the Rocky Mountains.

He was remodeling his living room and den. Because of the rustic theme of his log cabin home, he was asking me for ideas or suggestions on what might fit into the decor of these two rooms.

I told him for me to really help him in his search for the perfect wall candle holders, I would have to take the trip out to his home and have a look at what each of these rooms has in them. This way I could make an informed decision on the types of wall candle holders that would match up with the theme of each of these two rooms. Besides, I haven’t been out there for a visit in quite some time and I was eager to visit with him and enjoy the beautiful Colorado Rockies.

A few days later I had booked a flight to Denver and rented a car.

It was a Saturday morning when I pulled into his driveway. Before I left for the trip to Colorado, I jotted down a few questions on a notebook that I wanted to ask my cousin once I got to his house. These questions are basic wall candle holder questions on what type of wall candle holders he might be looking for.

The first question I asked was if he was looking for wall candle holders to hold real candles or was he looking for electric wall candle holders. Electric wall candle holders are actually electric lights with bulbs that are in the shape of a candle flame.

He told me that he was open to installing both real candle holders and electric wall candle holders. He informed me that two of the wall candle holders, being installed in the den, will be hard wired to the wiring already in the wall, but in the living room he would like to install wall candle holders that use real candles for light. This way he could use scented candles to freshen up the room.

The next thing we did was to walk into the living room and see what types of furnishings are in the room. Sometimes the smaller accents of a room’s furnishings are more compatible with wall lighting fixtures than the larger more pronounced pieces of furniture in the room.

This was a large living room. He had two large oak framed chairs and a large couch that matched. Large deep cushions filled out both the chairs and the couch. Earth tone stripes crisscrossed was the pattern of the covers for the both the chairs and couch. Also in the room are two recliners. One of the recliners is black leather and the other is micro fiber in a beautiful royal blue.

The log walls in the room gave the room a rustic feel and the stone fireplace going up the wall was the focal point of the room. The floor was a plush pile carpet in a medium brown.

I couldn’t help but notice that bronze accents were all about the room. On one wall was a bronze wall sculpture of several elk. On another wall was a large bronze metal wall art sun.

It was on the wall with the large bronze sun that he wanted to hang a wall candle holder on each side of this metal wall art. After thinking about it for a few minutes, I suggested that he should go with an open wall sconce candle holder made of wood. Something that would hold a pillar candle at least four inched in diameter and eight to ten inches tall.

The second set of wall candle holders were to be hung on the wall directly above the stone mantle of the fireplace. Here I noticed that he had wrought iron fireplace tools on a stand over to the left of the fireplace. He also had a wrought iron screen placed directly in front of the open fireplace. It was so obvious that wrought iron wall candle holders would be the perfect match for the wall above the fireplace mantle. He agreed.

So now we moved on to the den. This was a magnificent room. The floors are hardwood floors. As with all the walls in this home, they are all log walls. What struck my attention was a gray stone two sided fireplace going straight up through the ceiling, separating the den from the study. The furniture in this room was all black leather. There are five chairs, a couch and a love seat. There are also two coffee tables and five end tables. The table tops are made of black smoked glass and the framework supporting the glass was pewter.

On one wall was hanging a medium size tapestry of a mountain lake. On another wall was a large wooden wall clock about five feet in diameter. He told me that he intended to install a wall candle holder on each side of the tapestry and another set of wall candle holders on each side of the wall clock.

After looking around the room and contemplating for a while, I came to the conclusion that a wrought iron candle holder on each side of the tapestry would be the perfect solution. He liked the idea and decided to go with battery powered candle lamps.

The large wall clock already had two rather ugly hard wired wall lights on each side. He said that these two wall lamps have been an eye sore to him for quite some time. He just never got around to changing them out to something more attractive. That is when I suggested that electric pewter wall candle lanterns would improve the overall look of the room. He said that wall candle lanterns had never crossed his mind, but it was a good idea and he would make the change.

My cousin wrote down all of my suggestions. I gave him a great website that had all the information he would need to explore all the suggestions I made. Within a month my cousin had ordered all his new candle wall lighting fixtures and had them up and working brilliantly.

Wall candle holders are a small touch that has a large effect on the overall persona of a room. With a little thought to the theme of any room, these charming additions will bring out the artful creativity and personal satisfaction you are looking for…

How To Tie Bathroom Vanities In With Other Bathroom Elements

If you are trying to tie in the bathroom vanities you are installing with other bathroom elements you may be pleased to hear that it is not as difficult as you may believe. There are simple ways that you can take just about any of the bathroom vanities and work it in to an existing design scheme. Here are just a few of them that you may be interested in trying when adding new bathroom vanities into the bathrooms in your home.

One of the first things to consider is that you do not need to tie bathroom vanities in directly with the bathroom itself. Many people are choosing bathroom vanities that are similar to other cabinets in their home. Bathroom vanities may use the same woods as the cabinets in kitchens as a way of making the entire house flow smoothly from one room to the next. If you do not have the money to replace bathroom vanities but want to give this look to your home, consider trying to use stains or paints in order to give a more cohesive look to your home.

You can also draw in trim from the bathroom vanities and use them in other areas of the bathroom. The opposite is also true in that you can use the trim found on many bathroom vanities in other areas of your bathroom. Think about how finished your room will look if you use the same style of trim on your bathroom vanities as you do on other cabinets you will be able to create a beautiful bathroom design. Just make sure that any products you use to decorate or finish either bathroom vanities or other bathroom areas are finished in such a way that they can handle the extra humidity in the air.

You may want to think about using similar materials for floor tiles and the countertops on the bathroom vanities you install. Beautiful spa-like bathrooms can look amazing if you use marble counters on bathroom vanities and then use tiles made from the same marble on the walls around the bathroom vanities. This can be a beautiful neutral way to decorate that can be spruced up with many other decorative elements. As well, by using the same materials on bathroom vanities and on backsplashes, you can ensure that a small room looks larger, especially if the bathroom vanities have light colored counter tops.

Plumbing can also play a huge role in tying in your bathroom vanities with other plumbing in your bathroom. Many sets of faucets and taps come in models designed for use in tubs and showers and other s that have a similar feel but which are designed for other uses. Look for similar coloring as well as the shape of the plumbing fixtures themselves.

If you are careful about how you work new bathroom vanities into existing floor layouts, you will be amazed at the seamless way that they can be placed in an existing room design. This can be great news for people who want to update the look of their bathrooms but not have the money to pay for supplies such as cabinetry.
