What to Look for When Buying Wall Lamps?

2 min


Every house requires proper lighting. These lights must vary in their luminance to serve different purposes. In addition, the colors of these lights enhance the beauty of the ambiance while adding a piece in your home décor collection. Here are some tips for buying the perfect wall lamps for your home…

First of All, why to Invest in Wall Lamps?

From adding as a piece of decoration to reading books late in the night, wall lamps serve for various purposes. When one ponders of buying such lamps, they think of them as elements of decoration. However, once they are installed, wall lamps help even in reading books while keeping the room illuminated dimly. This accentuates the beauty of the house, adding utility to it.

Where to use Wall Lamps?

Wall lamps can be put in anywhere in the house, both outdoors and indoors. The lamps on the wall along with the ceiling lights increase the luminance of the room, while the ones overhead give an atmospheric effect without irritating the eye.

The use of vanity lights in the bathroom helps reduce the shadow effects caused by usual overhead lights, improving illumination and convenience. For office and craft purposes, swing-arm lamps can be mounted in the wall. This fitting leaves more space on your desk, resulting in a reduction in the number of times you have to clean up your desk.

The outdoor wall lamps can be used for both security and decoration through fitting them on the porch and outside walls.

How many Wall Lamps?

Generally, the place of mounting wall lamps depends on the height of the ceiling and the size of your wall. However, you may hang them at eye level. Whatever place you install them in, make sure no light hits the eye directly. A long corridor with too many lights may begin to look like a runway. Hence, a balance in the amount of luminance, the size of the room and the number of lights installed is necessary.

Focus on minimalism rather than filling the wall. The lesser the number of lamps, the better.

Types of Wall Lamps

It is not as difficult to find the right light as it seems to be. There are a few types of wall lamps that you can choose from…

  • Wall lamps for pictures are great to draw a person’s attention to artworks installed in the walls.
  • Vanity and bath lamps are designed in such a manner as to reduce the shadow effects.
  • The swing arm lamps help an individual to adjust the light’s direction for office, craft works, reading, etc.
  • Downlights add as a decoration to the wall, enlightening the ground level.
  • Uplights illuminate the wall, adding warmth to the atmosphere.

Installation of wall lamps is the perfect solution for the dramatic effects one wishes for. In addition to it, the beauty of the lamps, as well as the light emitted from them cannot be surpassed. Nothing can take place of wall lamps.
