Hi CE, well done - it sounds like your guest bedroom is really coming together.

If you could post some images that show the room itself, as well as the candle holders, it would be really helpful.

In the meantime, you might find some inspiration as to the style of bedside lamp you're looking for in one of our Houzz Ideabooks.

All the best,

Rich, Darklight Design

Thanks Rich not sure where the photos have gone I uploaded!

will re add now.

Be very glad of any other suggestions! Even a visual of what lamps could look like in the bedroom?

Room looks great.

re curtains, do you mean a fabric like velvet? Not an expert but a nice cotton can probably also create nice 'folds' on the floor.

Re bed lamps, something quite simple perhaps so they don't compete with the chandelier and candles, which all look lovely, btw.

I would suggest bedside lighting with shades rather than a style without. We have Laura Ashley capri lights which are beautiful but I've found they are too harsh to be used as bedside lights because you can see the bright bulb. Something with a shade would be much softer and more appropriate.

Regarding the curtains, I would think ones that drape and pool on the floor, may not be very practical in reality, because when they're closed, the radiator will be totally covered and all the heat will be trapped on the window side.

Unless of course they're purely decorative and you also have a blind.

Ah yes Ribena, 'drape and pool'. That's the terms we were looking for. :)

And I like the curtains with blind suggestion.

bizarrely I found this photo last night (last one) so have used again but I think a candlestick style lamp would work. Just wondering if it would work better if the sconces were moved and the table pushed away from the bed a little as shown? Something round hung over the bed might work. I think I'd go for linen curtains to combine the rustic with the chandelier. I'd also use a botanical print Roman blind, I'm failing to find one with some colour on a natural linen ATM though! Just wondering if you'd thought of adding a chair? This Ikea one would work dressed and they have another couple I think would work with the room

What about something really unobtrusive like these:

Thanks all and sorry for the lack of response!

E D: on the curtain fabric I was thinking of something like velvet or similar but as you say cotton may fold better...I am going to a fabric shop tomorrow so will have a good look at what they've got.

Sarah: thanks for your suggestion, really like your choice!! But yes something with a shade may be better for our room...

Ribena: drape and pool is exactly what I was thinking off thanks!!! And it had passed through my mind to have some cream wooden slated blinds also so just have the curtains for dress.

Minnie: liking your suggestions...still very keen on curtains tho. As we Have space it would probably work better as you say to move the bedsides away from the bed a little. Will do some experimenting!! Also love the chair idea!! Hadn't thought of that but definitely nice to have a chair in a guest room :-)

Gina: thanks v much also, liking those lights! Definately needs to be something minimal as you say...

Really love these but not quite as willing to pay the price!!!

a lot of food for thought! thanks all :-))

Love that lamp. Think it will complement your decor.

I haven't dared checking the price yet... :)

Hi CE, apologies for the slow reply.

Love the blue you chose for the wall, it really makes the candle holders pop. Lighting-wise, I agree with Gina - you probably need something that won’t detract from your statement chandelier, candle holders and curtains.

A couple of ideas that spring to mind are something like this Kimu Design Screenlight 2.0 table lamp. It’s understated and creates a beautiful soft diffuse light. Also available in a round circular shape which could possibly work better with your room.

Or you might want something even simpler like this Anour Copenhagen Model T LED Desk Lamp - resembling a picture frame light, it would give off a nice glow without overpowering the room.

Hope these provide you with some inspiration.

Would love to see the photos when you finish the room!

All the best, Rich

Thanks Rich thats really helpful!

Fully agree on not detractingde from the chandelier and curtains.

Will certainly post pics of the finished project!:-)
