Adjustable desk lamps can help illuminate your sunroom.
Your sunroom can be a valuable nighttime space, as well as a functional room during the day. If your sunroom is mostly glass or other clear paneling, chances are good that you don't have the ability to wire in standard lighting fixtures. In fact, you may not have the wiring for any lighting at all, other than a few standard outlets. Make the most of your sunroom at night by taking advantage of its unique characteristics to provide yourself with a nighttime glow that makes the room as relaxing and functional as it is during the day.
Instructions
1. Place two floor lamps, with three adjustable heads each, near the wall that divides your sunroom from the rest of the house. Position them about two feet in from each end of the wall and one to two feet away from the wall.
2. Add extension cords and a power strip, if needed, to power the lamps from the nearest outlet.
3. Aim the top two heads of the adjustable lamps at the wall, with the top heads aimed just below the ceiling and the middle heads aimed about off the floor. Aim the lowest head on each lamp at the floor of the sunroom about four feet in front of the lamp's base.
4. Place light-colored throw rugs that are tightly woven, rather than shaggy, where the beams from these lamps hit the floor. This will help "bounce" the light around the room, creating more ambient light. Aiming lights at the walls and floor also helps keep your lighting from becoming disruptive to neighbors.
5. Place two small end tables near the outer corners of your sunroom and place a desk lamp on each. Aim the desk lamps toward the floor, near the center of the room, and scatter more light-colored throw rugs about the floor to maximize the light.
