Decorating With Swing Arm Lights

Swing arm lights bring a cozy, old fashioned look to any home environment. Get target lighting that you can easily move out of the way when necessary.

In the den or living room

Imagine snuggling up near the fireplace, wrapped in a favorite afghan or quilt with a book and a mug of hot chocolate. All you need to complete the effect is a swing arm lamp mounted strategically on the wall above your chair. You can swing it out to the right place to shine on your book, and when you need to get up, (for more hot chocolate) you can swing it back out of the way.

In the bedroom

It is a beautiful Sunday morning, and the kids are away at Grandma's. What is better than coffee, scones and strawberries in bed with the New York Times? You need good lighting for the Sudoku and the crossword puzzle, Fortunately, the two of you have planned ahead and installed wall mounted swing arm lamps, one above each side of the bed. Mimosas, anyone?

In the hallway

You placed a gorgeous antique Bombay chest at the end of the hall where it fits just perfectly. You adorned it with a selection of first edition leather bound books and a single dried long stem rose. What is missing? A wall mounted swing arm lamp to serve as a night light and subtly illuminate your treasures.

The addition of a wall mounted swing arm light adds character and charm to any room, and its mobility also makes it useful. Choose a pretty style to complement your decor.
