Industrial wall lights: A statement purchase!
This type of lighting is making a strong comeback, and it is easy to see why. With their vintage, authentic character, wall lights in wrought iron, such as industrial wall lights, create a distinctive decorative effect that breaks the rules and adds a touch of contemporary creativity to any interior. Typical of old workshops, the industrial wall lights in our collection pay tribute to the disused factories of the 20th century where artists enjoyed creating their works.
Whether in a living room or a bedroom, we love the loft style brought by black industrial wall lights in brushed steel, as well as those in aged industrial metal from our collection. This creates an even more striking contrast with modern furniture when an Edison-style LED filament bulb is screwed into the wall light socket, illuminating the room with a deep, soft orange glow.
Industrial wall lights in every room of the home
In addition to living rooms and traditional lounge areas, the entryway is also an excellent place to enhance your home with a modernised industrial wall light featuring a flexible metal arm in bronze, silver, or gold. The visible sturdiness of these decorative entryway lights adds an even more raw and authentic effect!
An industrial wall light for wet rooms?
In a damp area such as a bathroom, but also in a garage or outdoor location, a protection rating of IP44 or IP65 will be required (due to moisture). At Lumiine, we offer a range available for purchase specifically for these areas of the home where the lamp may be exposed to moisture.
When it comes to the design of an industrial bathroom wall light, you can choose to enhance the decor by opting for an aged metal look, such as:
- A light fixture shaped like industrial pipes or a valve
Choose colours such as anthracite grey, bronze, or even chipped and rusted paint (close to brown) or black.
Then opt for tinted glass on the bulb to avoid glare.
From our wide range, we offer this type of industrial light fixture that blends perfectly into the warm atmosphere of a bathroom with industrial decor. Discover our range of Scandinavian wall lights to enhance your interior with a bright and colourful touch.
What to know about industrial wall lights
Industrial lighting first began to appear in European factories in the mid-19th century, using oil lamps. Then, Edison's incandescent bulbs appeared, making lamps even more commonplace in production workshops. Vintage wall lights, spotlights, and all types of table lamps were used purely for functional purposes. They were never intended for decoration, unlike the ones we offer today!
How to find the best industrial wall light?
The best approach is to trust your instincts when you come across a model. Then, check whether it is suitable for the room where you plan to install it. This includes both the decor and technical specifications (a warm colour temperature for the bedroom, a protection rating for a bathroom...). We provide all this information for our vintage wall light models.
