How to Install Wall Lights

All our wall lights are designed to be mains-powered, meaning they require professional installation by an electrician. This ensures a clean and professional finish, with all wiring hidden behind the walls. If you're updating existing fixtures, this is usually a straightforward process, though it's always wise to consult a professional for peace of mind.

Since our wall lights are hardwired, they can be controlled via standard electrical switches. To maintain a cohesive aesthetic, consider matching switch finishes to your wall lights—Matt Black or Black Nickel work beautifully for a sleek, modern look. Explore our full selection of electrical accessories to complete the look.

Where to Place Wall Lights

Wall lights are incredibly versatile and can be used throughout the home to create layered lighting. By combining them with ceiling lights and task lamps, you can control the mood of a room with ease. This approach adds depth and flexibility to your lighting plan, allowing you to adapt the atmosphere depending on the occasion.

Hallways and narrow spaces are ideal for wall lights, as they save valuable floor space while still providing ample illumination. In living rooms, wall lights positioned on either side of a fireplace or TV unit can create symmetry and draw attention to these focal points. Bedrooms benefit from wall lights flanking the bed, ensuring optimal lighting for reading or relaxation.

How to Style Wall Lights

Wall lights can serve both aesthetic and practical purposes when styled thoughtfully. Aligning them with architectural details like paneling or moldings can elevate their presence, creating a framed effect that draws the eye. They also work wonders in underutilized spaces, such as the area between windows or beside doors, adding functionality and style where there was none before.

When choosing wall lights, it's important to consider how they'll blend with your decor. Our Flora collection, for instance, pairs beautifully with contemporary interiors, especially in neutral color palettes. Opt for a Smooth Copper finish to evoke warmth and coziness, or go for Smooth Nickel for a crisp, modern vibe.

For a touch of industrial chic, our Brindley wall lights are an excellent choice. Their elegant curves and classic design make them a timeless option. To ensure harmony, pair them with matching hardware, like Polished Brass or Aged Brass cabinet pulls. You can even coordinate the wall light color with the wall itself for a seamless, luxurious effect—this works particularly well with darker tones.

How to Choose Lightbulbs

Selecting the right lightbulb is crucial for maximizing the potential of your wall lights. To simplify your decision, we offer two options that are compatible with all our wall lights.

Our LED Light Bulb is round and subtly stylish, making it adaptable to various styles. With a 2200K color temperature, it emits a warm, inviting glow that complements any setting. On the other hand, our Vintage LED Edison Bulb features a slender, conical shape that feels modern and minimalistic. Its 2700K color temperature provides a slightly cooler tone, ideal for contemporary interiors.
