Lighting is an often overlooked design element in the home. You can have amazing furniture, rugs, and artwork, but if your lighting is not good it can ruin the entire mood of your home. Lighting can also help a small room look cozy instead of cramped, and can help a large room feel less cavern-like. Combined with the windows in your home, lighting can help your home look great all day long, through the day and into the evening. Every room in your home can benefit from great lighting, so let’s explore how the right lighting can impact every room in your house. If you are looking for some new lamps to illuminate your home, or any other new furniture, Horizon Home Furniture in Atlanta has what you need!
Bedroom
If you have ever had a bedroom with only an overhead light, you know the impracticality of that configuration. Lying in bed and reading is not peaceful with a bright overhead light, and when it is time to turn off the lights, it is not fun to have to get up and flip the switch. Lamps are incredibly useful in the bedroom, especially on a bedside table. Lights flanking your bed can make the room seem incredibly cozy, and are so easy to turn off once you are ready to sleep. They also create a peaceful, relaxing mood that is perfect before bed.Lights in the closet are also very important in a bedroom. If you have a walk-in closet, they are essential, but even in a regular-sized closet, lighting can really make a difference. Finding the clothes you need is made easier with good lighting. Even with specific lights for the closet and by your bed, a good overhead light is also important. Consider a beautiful fixture that will really complement the style of your bedroom. A small chandelier, or other unique ceiling light, can add drama to any bedroom. If your bedroom is lacking in the lighting department, stop by Horizon Home Furniture to find the perfect lamp to illuminate your space. While you’re there you might just find the perfect bed or dresser as well!
Living Room
The living room can be host to a whole range of activities, from family game night, to watching a great movie, to relaxing with your book club. Your lighting should be able to handle all of these situations, and you need a variety of lighting options to accomplish that. While watching TV, a darkened room is great, but other activities will require better lighting. Just like the bedroom, one measly overhead light in the living room is not going to be enough. Using lamps around the living room add in warm light, and can illuminate areas where you might want to curl up with a book or magazine. Lighting can also be incorporated above bookcases, to illuminate the ceiling and make the room appear taller, or on individual pieces of artwork to really make them stand out. Most living rooms are large enough that it is convenient if there are light switches on multiple walls; so you always can turn the lights on or off regardless of where in the house you are coming from. An arc lamp provides great overhead lighting while adding unique style to your living room, and can help define a conversational area. Check out Horizon Home Furniture for your living room lighting solutions, and don’t be surprised if you find a new sofa you need as well.
Dining Room
Dining rooms can quickly become shadowy and uninviting, so use lighting to help illuminate evenly and cast a warm glow that diners will be glad to bask in. Buffets can be used to hold lamps, and corners could be illuminated by small lights that project upward. A dining room is a great place for a dimmable ceiling light, to allow you to change the mood with the flick of a switch. You may want a brighter light for a kid’s birthday party, or a more intimate glow for a small dinner party. A dining room is another great place to use a really unique and showstopping ceiling fixture. Because the dining room table usually takes up the majority of the middle of the room, a larger, low-hanging pendant or chandelier can be used without the fear of someone bumping into it. If you also are in need of a dining room table, Horizon Home Furniture has you covered! Your dining room should be a place to gather, eat, and relax!
Office
You office is a place where you may need good lighting for reading, writing, or working at a computer. If you are working on a screen during a large part of the day, you don’t want there to be a glare from lighting. Any task lighting used on your computer desk should not be pointed directly at your screen, but having another light source besides your screen will make the room seem more cheerful and inviting. Having a good overhead light is great for any detailed work you may be doing, but a cozy lamp by a comfy chair is also great if you are often making phone calls. Consider what you use your office for, and plan the lighting in the room accordingly.
Entryway
When you first enter a home, you want enough lighting to be able to remove shoes, jackets, and bags, but not so bright that it seems cold or sterile. An overhead light is usually the best option in an entryway, as there may not be many places for a lamp. If you do have a console table in your entryway, a lamp can provide a warm glow that welcomes people into your home. An entryway can also showcase a great piece of art, and lighting can illuminate it and draw in the eye. This is also a great choice for a hallway! If you need a new lamp, or a great console table for your entryway, head to Horizon Home Furniture!
Kitchens
Kitchens need a wide variety of lighting, from overhead, to task lighting, and accent lighting. The kitchen is where you spend a large amount of time, and cooking and baking both require adequate illumination. A kitchen is an often overlooked spot for a small lamp, but one placed in a corner, or on an island peninsula, can add in a great glow that makes your kitchen look even better. Under counter lighting, over counter lighting, and even lighting at the base of your cabinets, can all create a warm and welcoming glow in your kitchen. If you have an island, you have a great chance to use a dramatic pendant light overhead!
Bathroom
The bathroom is an often overlooked room for lighting, but it is very important! Not only do you need lighting that will make showering and bathing easy, you also need lighting around a mirror that will help illuminate the face. Bathrooms have a tendency to be stark and sterile feeling, so use a warm bulb to help add in some coziness to your bathroom. A bathroom can be a great place to add in a pendant over the sink, or even a lamp on a side table. If you have a large enough bathroom, you will need to consider light sources that can illuminate every corner of the room.As you can see, lighting plays a huge role in the design and beauty of a home. If you are thinking of adding in some lamps to your home decor, Horizon Home Furniture in Atlanta is the place to go! Our huge warehouse has discounted prices on everything from sectional sofas to live edge furniture, with new items coming in daily.

Your bedroom should be a place of tranquility, relaxation, and, of course, sleep.

If you need some great ideas for bedroom furniture in Atlanta, come wander Horizon Home’s expansive showroom to find your perfect pieces. We are constantly getting new inventory, and our furniture is unique, affordable, and perfect for your bedroom renovation. Stop in to see why we were rated Atlanta’s Best Furniture Store 2017! Read on for some great tips on how to get your bedroom feeling more like a sanctuary.
Declutter
If there is too much stuff in a room it can be hard to reach a place of relaxation. If you are always worried about the stuff everywhere, you can’t fully enjoy your bedroom. Clear out the clutter, and create a blank canvas that you can work with to create a tranquil bedroom space. This includes any broken items, items that belong in different rooms, and items that you don’t really love. Clear out the clutter, and get ready to enjoy your bedroom more!
Remove Digital Devices
To fully relax, most people need to be fully unplugged. TVs, computers, and even mobile devices have been shown to keep the brain stimulated and awake. If you are wanting to create a zone that is restful, eliminating digital devices is a great start. Reading an old-fashioned book before bed is a great way to unwind and drift away into sleep.
Use a Calm Color Palette
Paint can make a huge difference in any room, and the bedroom is no exception. If your bedroom is painted a loud, bright color you may want to tone it down a bit with a calmer color. Neutrals, like a warm white or a soft gray, are a great bet when painting your bedroom walls. Stark white is usually a little too harsh in the bedroom. Going a bit darker will also create a cozy feel, and envelop the room. Darker colors will usually make a room seem smaller, and lighter colors will make it seem more expansive. Choose a color palette you love and one that you will enjoy waking up to every morning.
Warm Lighting
If the only light in the bedroom is one ceiling bulb, you are not achieving the best atmosphere. To really make your bedroom cozy and inviting, various light sources should be used, and especially lamps. Lamps create a warm glow that encourages unwinding, unlike a brighter, harsher light on the ceiling. Lamps near the bed also make it more convenient to turn off the lights when you are ready to sleep, and you won’t have to get up and interrupt whatever sense of calm you have achieved. The perfect lamps need the perfect side tables, and Horizon Home furniture has a great selection of nightstands that can make your bedside even better.
Incorporate Natural Items
Plants are a great way to bring natural beauty into your bedroom, and they have the added bonus of purifying the air! Plants bring the outdoors inside, and can create a serene and inviting space. Other natural items, such as rich woods, shells from a great trip, or even photographs of amazing natural wonders, can all contribute to making your bedroom a sanctuary. Many people find images of the sea or the clouds especially calming.
A Comfortable Bed
The focal point of your bedroom should be the bed, and you want to have the most comfortable bed you can find. Horizon Home Furniture has an amazing selection of beds to choose from, and you are sure to find one that gives you a feeling of tranquility. If you have a smaller bed, consider upgrading to a queen or a king size, and you will find that the added space makes for a more luxurious sleeping environment. After you have chosen a great bed you want to find the softest bedding you can, and an assortment of textures and soft colors always makes a bed more inviting. Finally, don’t neglect the place you lay your head—your pillow. The perfect pillow can really make a difference in your sleep quality, and will make your bedroom seem even more inviting.
Room Darkening
Keeping your bedroom dark can really help it feel more like a sanctuary, especially if it gets bright first thing in the morning. If you can sleep in a bit, take advantage of room darkening shades to help keep the light out and encourage more restful sleep.
Create Atmosphere
Surround yourself with items you love, and especially focus on any spaces that are visible while lying in bed. Candles can create a tranquil mood in the room, and help you unwind after a long day. Essential oils can bring natural scents into the room, and certain oils, like lavender, can help to bring relaxation and have a calming effect. If you have wood floors, consider layering soft rugs beneath your bed so you can step onto a soft surface every morning. Every detail you add can help turn your bedroom into a sanctuary.Hopefully you have some great ideas on how to turn your bedroom into the sanctuary you have always wanted. Horizon Home Furniture in Atlanta is here to help, with a large selection of bedroom furniture for you to choose from. Shop our beds, dressers, nightstands, and mattresses to find the pieces that will complete your bedroom. Turning your bedroom into a sanctuary can give you the relaxation and rest you deserve.
Benches serve the utilitarian purpose of seating, obviously, but they are quickly becoming a sought after design element for almost every room in the house. If you are looking to fill an awkward space, provide seating or room for display, or add visual weight and depth to another furniture piece, benches are a great solution. At Horizon Home Furniture we stock a large variety of benches, ottomans and poufs, and we are getting in new truckloads of furniture all the time! We serve the Atlanta area, and love to help people find amazing living room, bedroom and dining room designer furniture at outlet prices. Read on to see if your home could use a bench!
Dining Room
The dining room can be a great place for a bench! A bench can provide more seating, and you can use beautiful upholstered benches in place of chairs at your dining room table. Using a bench instead of chairs gives a clean, streamlined look; the benches can be pushed completely under the table and disappear. This allows whatever decor you have on your table to really shine, and highlights a great table centerpiece. Benches are also great as extra seating, and if you have an expandable dining room table you know that extra seating is nice, but lugging chairs to and from the dining room isn’t. A bench, or a few benches, placed strategically at the edges of a dining room can make extra seating within arm’s reach. Using benches at the edges of the room can also fill in empty spaces, and make a boring dining room space more interesting. Whether you need seating at your dining room table, are always needing extra seats for guests, or have an empty space in your dining room, consider using a bench!
Bedroom
A bedroom might seem like it has no use for a bench, but think again! A great trend in bedroom design utilizes a bench at the foot of the bed. When you choose an upholstered bench, this makes your bed appear larger, and more of a grounded focal point in the room. Of course, a bench in the bedroom also can provide seating, and can be a great place to take a quick break. A bench on a wall of the bedroom can be a place to store extra blankets or throw pillows, and using a boldly patterned blanket or pillow can add design into your room. A low bench can also be a great base for an assortment of plants, to bring some green into your bedroom! Use your imagination, and see where a bench could fit in your bedroom!
Bathroom
A bench in the bathroom? Yes! A bench can get a lot of use in a bathroom: as a place to stack towels, or as an extra seat. If you have a large bathroom, you may have space for an upholstered bench, but if you are worried about moisture, wood is the way to go. Horizon Home Furniture has a great selection of both upholstered and wood benches, and a live edge bench can really make a statement in your bathroom! We are Atlanta’s source for live edge furniture, and we employ local craftsman to make truly special pieces.
Coffee Table
A bench can serve as a coffee table in your living room! Especially if you are limited on space, a bench is a great substitution for a bulky table. Consider a wood bench if you are often needing a place to put food or drinks; this will provide stability and an easy to clean surface. If you love to put your feet up after a long day, an upholstered bench or ottoman gives you a comfortable place. Another great benefit of using a longer, rectangular bench, is the scale it provides to balance a long sofa. A short, square coffee table can oftentimes look too small next to a large sofa, and using a long bench can give your living room great design.
Behind the Sofa
A bench can also be placed behind the back of a sofa to give a spot to incorporate some decorative items into your living room. Using a bench like a console table, you can place plants, lamps, and more behind your sofa to spruce up an empty space. A bench behind a sofa can also provide additional seating, and can define a separate seating area. In addition to going behind a sofa, you can also use benches in place of a sofa, paired with chairs or other seating. Especially if you have a small space, a bench can give seating options without crowding an already small room. Look around your living room to see if a bench is the perfect design element that is missing.
Window Seat
A bench under a window, paired with a cushion or some pillows, can instantly transform the space into a window seat. If you have a window that needs nearby seating, a bench can provide low seating without obstructing the view. If you have a long row of windows, placing several benches next to each other can make one long bench that packs some serious visual punch. Any room can use a window seat, if you have a blank space near a window, consider turning a bench into a window seat.
Entryway
A more common use of a bench is in an entryway or mudroom. A bench provides the perfect place to take off or put on shoes, and can spruce up a bland entryway. Benches are great for sliding baskets under, to store shoes, hats, sports equipment, or anything else that needs corralling in your entryway. Whether you choose a sleek, modern bench, or a comfortable upholstered bench, bring storage, seating and design into your home with a bench in the entry.
Outdoors
Do you have a party or other gathering coming up that you plan to host outdoors? Benches can provide great, easily portable, outdoor seating and surfaces for food and drinks! If you choose a durable wood bench, such as teak, your bench can stay outdoors and handle some of the elements. An upholstered bench will need to be pulled in after your event, but most benches are lightweight and easy to move. Your backyard will look suddenly elegant and pulled together with the addition of benches, and your next party will have all of the seating and tabletops it needs!So what are you waiting for? You have surely thought of numerous places in your home that could use a fabulous new bench, now head to Horizon Home Furniture in Atlanta to find great benches for your living room, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, or any other place you can think of! Benches are one of the most versatile pieces of furniture, and we have many options for you to choose from—shop today!
