The understated elegance of our Windham wall sconce will add a touch of grace to any room in your home or office. The gently scalloped uplit shade features a base of creamy natural art glass panels. An alternating band of pastel pink and blue flowers and shells runs around the top edge of the shade. Vertical panels of the same pink and blue are placed at intervals throughout the shade.
A band of blue-green, with fan insets at the point of each scallop runs along the top edge. Jewels in complementary colors are scattered throughout, adding extra sparkle and texture. The shade hangs from a white metal base. A lovely choice hung alone in an entryway or in multiples in a hallway, Windham's ethereal beauty is the perfect finishing touch to any decor style.
Types of lighting: Lighting falls into three categories: ambient, task and accent lighting. Well-lit rooms feature a combination of the three, allowing you to be comfortable without squinting or straining your eyes. The number and types of fixtures will vary with your room sizes, décor and personal preferences.
You have the perfect lamp and you've carefully chosen a shade for it, but what kind of light bulb should you choose? You may not think much about light bulbs, but the kind you choose has the greatest impact on the overall effect and effectiveness of your lamp. Many people make the mistake of buying a light bulb more powerful than they need for a particular lamp. This unfortunately can make a lamp so intense or distracting that it is rarely used. The simple solution to this problem is to use a smaller bulb. Most table and accent lamps require no more than a 60-watt bulb, even if they are rated for something much higher. While it's very important to never exceed the recommended bulb wattage for a lamp, there is nothing wrong with using a less-powerful bulb.
Aside from wattage, there are other factors to consider when choosing a light bulb. Light bulbs come in four basic types: incandescent, fluorescent, compact fluorescent and halogen.
