The wall lamp is both an element of lighting but also of decoration since itis attached to the wall. The wall lights allow you to combine the useful with the pleasant while asserting your style.

What uses for wall lights?

Wall lights have many uses, they can be used as general lighting. You will need to arrange them strategically in your room. If your walls are light colors this will help reflect light, dark colors tend to absorb light. For general lighting, it is advisable to have several wall lights on the same wall.Wall lights can also offer you targeted lighting. You can opt for an adjustable wall lamp if you want to highlight a decorative object or install it as a reading wall lamp. So if you have adjustable spotlights around a picture or a shelf you will highlight them.

If you have a small space, a wall sconce can help you make the square footage seem bigger than it actually is. This is possible thanks to an optical illusion that increases your perception of the volumes of the room.

The wall lamp also helps to separate the room by changing the atmosphere from one part of the room to another. You can differentiate the lighting by choosing a paint color and a different style of application from the rest of the room. Thus the atmosphere of your reading corner or your office corner will be transformed and will be unique.Wall lights are a very good alternative for bathrooms and toilets. They allow you to illuminate and create space since they are attached to the wall.In a bathroom, the wall light can be used as general lighting as well as additional lighting, it all depends on the configuration of your bathroom.

How to choose your wall light?

Once you have chosen the use that corresponds to your need, you must choose the wall light that best suits it.

To choose your lighting you must think about the room where you will install your wall lamp. This is of great importance since it is from this point that you will define the material of your wall light, the type of brightness and the size of the light beam. You will also have to take into account the style of decoration that you have established in your room so as not to distort it.

If you want general lighting, then opt for wall lights with a wide light beam. When it comes to brightness, it all depends on the mood you want to create. We generally recommend a light ranging from warm white ranging from 4000 to 1950 degrees Kelvin. However, each room requires a particular brightness.If, on the contrary, you want to create targeted lighting around an element such as a painting, opt instead for a wall light that is intended for this use. You can also choose an adjustable wall light or several small fairly sober spot lights that will create an atmosphere around this element.

If you want to light up a small room or a room without a window then you will rather opt for small sized wall lights so as not to suffocate your room. In a blind room, the light should be closer to natural light. We often recommend bulbs between 4000 and 2500 degrees Kelvin. The choice of brightness depends on the room but also on the use you will make of your wall light.

Whichever choice you make, you will need to pay attention to the height of your wall light. It should be positioned so as not to dazzle you.The height is generally around 1m80 except for a headboard wall light which must have a lower position. For the latter, the recommended height is around 1.20m. Of course there is no hard and fast rule, the height must above all suit your needs.Regarding style, there is something for everyone!
