Is there a way to have a sconce ^where this one is located in particular^ really fill up a room? My bed blocks two outlets and behind my bed (where a normal person would put a headboard) is a wall-to-wall window. I only have one outlet left exposed, and it's on the wall in front of my bed. Just seemed odd to put a lamp there. I also didn't give myself room for bedside tables because of the lack of floor space I would've ended up with. I mentioned the thing about the window because I can't mount lamps onto the sides of the bed. I'll take an updated picture when I get home. :) I'm terrible at describing things.

excuse the mess, I'm still unpacking. it doesn't look so bad at 7pm, but the lighting pretty much stops at my closet door. I'm actually thinking another plug in sconce or something I can stick to the wall would be okay on the other side of the bed. I think I just solved my own problem :)

Consider large arc lamp and plug in wall sconces. No one light will do it. You need what we call “layered lighting”. Plug long wired multi-plug extension cord and you can use it to plug in several lamps. I will post some ideas.

Here are some great arc lamps with more than one light and some plug in wall mount lights. They come in all sizes, styles, and price ranges.

These are all here on Houzz. Shop around and save ones you like in idea book.

Here are examples of multi plug devices and you can get plug ins like these with remote controls and work lighting from in bed! Love these things. Really great at Christmas too! Enjoy working on your new place!

I have a smart plug in my Amazon cart. :) do you think that those floor lamps would look okay over the bed? that's where the lamp shade will end up

Get a bedside table or2 and put lamps on them....won't you have a dresser? Or 2? put a lamp on them....ovehead lights are only good in the kitchen....or a workshop....or the bathroom in addition to vanity lights. Hate the harsh glare.

my "dresser" is in the closet. I thought about bedside tables, but if I make enough room for one on the side of the room opposite the closet, my bed is much closer to where the closet doors open than I'd like. but I may just have to suck it up and do that instead. lamps on each side would look a lot better than something where I have to run the cables up, etc

If you aren’t sure, only buy where their return policy is good. And just get one. It really depends on your priorities. Then if you don’t like, back it goes.
