Lamps for romantic atmosphere in the bedroom

In response to our article on the topic of how bedroom decoration is so important to create the right romantic ambiance in the bedroom, the topic of lamps has come up. No one can deny the power of lighting and lamps in affecting the mood. You can use lighting effects to turn even a dull room into a romantic haven.

While there are thousands of choices for lamps and you are welcome to try many of the online stores that sell exotic designs for lamps but what we want to discuss here is a lamp that you can design yourself at home. You know the reason: anything hand-made, particularly when made for someone you love, has a more powerful impact. So when your partner will see what you have done for her/him, you will be suitably rewarded in the bedroom.

What will you need?

• Two oranges (one for each end table) but if you want more, get one orange for each lamp.
• Kitchen knife
• Tea light candles
• Decorative dish (not necessary, but does create a better effect. If not, a simple dish will do)

How to make the lamp?

1. Cut the orange into two halves.
2. Take all the pulp out and leave just the skin.
3. Let the skin dry for 4 hours if you have the time.
4. On the top half, cut a hole in the center, with a cookie cutter. While no specific design is needed, it is not a bad idea to use a heart shaped cookie cutter or any other design that you like.
5. Now put the bottom half on the decorative dish and put a tea light candle on the orange. Light it up with a lighter or match.
6. Gently place the top half.
7. Turn the electric lights off and enjoy the magic of a romantic lamp.
