Decorative Ceramic Light Fixtures


As the seasons get ready to change, you may be looking to update the decor in your house.  Spring and fall are great times to deep clean your living space and spruce up your decor.  An inexpensive way to dramatically alter the look of a room is by changing the lighting.  Decorative ceramic light fixtures are cheaper than fancier lighting options, such as crystalchandeliers, but they can still deliver a high impact.

There are three basic categories of ceramic light fixtures you can choose from.  Lamps, either floor or table top varieties, are easy to alter with different shades, are movable, and are not permanently attached to walls or ceilings, which makes them an ideal candidate for renters.  Ceramic lamps are inexpensive and come in a wide variety of colors and styles.

Wall sconces are ideal for accenting small areas or objects.  Use them in a bathroom to illuminate a mirror, next to a door for a dramatic effect, or near the headboard of your bed to provide reading light.  The light weight of ceramic wall sconces make them easy to hang wherever you need a little extra light.  Most varieties are hard wired into your homes electrical grid, although a few battery operated styles are also available.

Ceramic ceiling lights are usually hung flush to the ceiling, unlike crystal chandeliers, which hang.  Ceramic ceiling lights can be very ornate for a detailed, interesting piece.  They are perfect for rooms with low ceilings, as their low profile doesn’t extend into the space as much as other lights do.

No matter how big or small your redecorating project is, decorative ceramic light fixtures will accentuate any space.  They are easier to maintain than crystal chandeliers, but are just as lovely.  You can find a wide variety of ceramic lighting at your local home improvement store.
