The designer wall light: A masterpiece of lighting and décor
Designer lighting fixtures have been multiplying in our homes for decades. Originally intended for wealthy families, lamps and pendant lights began to become more accessible to the general public in the mid-20th century, with the economic boom in the West. Ceiling lights and designer wall lights therefore began to come in increasingly futuristic shapes and designs! We can thank interior designers for constantly imagining sophisticated wall lamp models. We offer them in our online store in a multitude of variations: industrial, Scandinavian, minimalist models... and in various materials.
In this article, we will explore all the beauty of designer wall lights, their specific features, how to recess them, and the different models you can find with us to enhance every room in the house... Join us on this exciting journey!
Designer wall lights that are increasingly original, retro, or futuristic
Today's wall lights are extremely different from the first ones to appear in our civilization. In just a few centuries, we have gone from metal rods holding an antique candlestick or a candle to sleek, lightweight, two-material designs in wood and gold-colored aluminum, for example. Energy-efficient led bulbs technology has, among other things, greatly contributed to this advancement. The fact that this type of bulb can be much smaller allows it to be incorporated into all kinds of lighting styles: square, round, and even flat or twisted!
We also have wall lights and chandeliers in stock made from materials that are not usually used to dress up interior lighting. We are thinking of cotton, feathers, or even bamboo.
Choosing materials for a beautiful designer wall light in your home
In this section, we will talk about the most relevant choices regarding wall lights, pendant lights, or recessed lights that will match your living room, your bedroom, or your kitchen.
A wooden wall light offers great versatility. Depending on the type of wood chosen, it will better suit a Scandinavian-style interior if the wood is light, ranging from white to light brown. A light-colored wooden wall light subtly and elegantly enhances the minimalist atmosphere of your Nordic décor. Dark woods can work, provided they are used sparingly in each room.
You can therefore opt for wall lights with wooden shades, or to accentuate the Nordic feel, pair wood with a silver-gray or anthracite metal shade to stay within the cool tones of the Scandinavian look.
For an industrial-style living room or dining room, a popular choice consists of one or more rectangular metal wall lights, placed vertically with a gold-colored metal shade on the inner face and matte black on the outside. This creates indirect lighting with a retro-futuristic feel in your living room. This choice also creates an excellent combination with the other lamps in the room.
For more inspiration, you can also choose one of our rusted metal models for a retro vintage look. This can be iron, aluminum, or brass. These are metals that rust, unlike copper or nickel, which develop a patina. The result will also be very stylish, with a natural effect that you will appreciate.
With our modern wall lights designed by talented creators, you will be able to faithfully recreate the industrial décor of yesteryear, which featured black metal or other colors. These lighting fixtures are still very much in fashion today!
Looking for beautiful wall lights for a modern, minimalist bedroom or living room? You can choose a wall-mounted pendant light or one with a recessed base. These designer wall lights can take the form of a bedside lamp with a metal or plastic base, or a wall-mounted pendant light that creates accent lighting. The light output of the lamp fixed to the wall of your bedroom should be focused on a specific point, which is known as focal lighting.
For more originality, you can choose very stylish and minimalist wall lights, such as:
-
A panel with led spotlights
-
Curved
-
With rails for an industrial wall light style
And many other styles…
