suits the front room will not go away. The issue is that there are no good places to attach the fixtures on the walls. For some reason, wall sconces are the first that come to mind when considering brass, especially of the antique type.There is a place to put a brass light fixture on the ceiling. It would need to have a low profile. The ceiling is low--barely 7 ft. high, if that. So the light has to set tight to the ceiling. It can't hang down more than 4 to 5 inches. Otherwise it will get knocked by someone stretching or accidentally bumping it if they move any way other than walking in a straight line.
This front room is best lighted with floor lamps
. Right now there are three of them in the room. One floor lamp is in a dark corner near a window. As long as it's daylight, or when only one person is in the house, that light is rarely on. But it does brighten a dark corner when the full large room needs more illumination.The other two floor lights
in the front room are near the desk (yes, there is a desk in the front room) and near one end of the large couch. In between is the big easy chair which is nicely lit from these two lights. It's a perfect set up for kicking back to read.All three of the lights are cheap floor lamps and won't last for too much longer. One of them with a 3-way switch won't stay on when it is at the lowest setting. These lamps can be replaced with antique brass lighting
which will look fantastic with the new cherry wood laminate floors and chocolate pink walls.
