This is an old idea, but a good one. If you need to free up some floor space, wall-mounted sconces are a great solution by the bed, in the bathroom, in the living room, or in the hall. They're also a good way to upgrade a rental without investing too much money or time. For ideas and resources, click through...

Sarah,
Love the twin beds and mounted lights in the first pic!
An essential idea for those of us living in studios.
As an aside ... I need to source a fitted (slipcover?) for a twin size mattress. Are these bed coverings custom? Can you provide more info? (Pleez... this is EXACTLY the look I am going for.)
