BRIGHTEN YOUR SPACE - Unexpected Places to Cast Light

Lighting has a big impact on the appearance of your home. While it may not be evident at first, having lights in the right places can make a big difference in the look and feel of your home. If you're thinking about changing up the environment in your space, focus on lighting. Take a look below to learn some quick tips for lighting from the best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks!


Lighting accents can give your home a whole new look and feel. Upgrade your lighting at Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach. Our staff can help you find the perfect lighting option for your unique wants and needs. We can also offer advice on which kind of light and location would work best in your space.

Unexpected Places to Cast Light:


Under a claw-foot bathtub.
Add some lavender essential oil, pop on a soothing soundtrack, and you’re back at the spa.

Behind a bed.
Create romance in a master bedroom by backlighting the bed. This can also serve as a nightlight so no one stubs a toe on the way to bed!

Directly on a wall.
Want to brighten up a room? Place a spotlight next to the wall and aim it up. This will have a similar effect to that of an art gallery.

In the bookshelf.
Run LED tape lights (inconspicuous strips of light) along the shelves, adhere puck lights, or install lighting within a built-in.

Behind the TV.
Create a movie theater effect by softly backlighting your television. This adds depth to your viewing and also reduces eyestrain when watching television in a dark room.

Along the floorboards.
It’s not intuitive to put lights down low, but running lights along your floorboards adds variety to your light sources.

Up to the Ceiling.
If your ceiling seems too low, install upward sconces on the wall, or point spotlights up from the floor. Upward-facing accent lights will help “stretch” the room.

Staircases.
Run accent lights along a staircase to create a soft, subtle glow. This also creates a gallery effect, which makes the staircase an ideal place to highlight your favorite artwork.

In a recessed ceiling.
Tucking accent lights in a recessed ceiling warms the room and adds a touch of elegance.

Behind furniture.
Back to backlighting: Place a spotlight behind a piece of furniture (or a potted plant or sculpture) to add drama to a room.


Our Lake of the Ozarks furniture store can help you find the perfect lighting accessory for your home. Brighten up your space with the right lighting in unique and unexpected places. Stop by Slumberland Furniture at the Lake today and we'll hook you up with lighting options to make your space exactly how you've imagined!
It's a good life!
