Wall lights — Lignes de lumière

Useful light without taking up surface space

Wall lamps are an interesting solution when you want to illuminate a specific area while keeping a table, console, or nightstand clear. They can complement an entryway, a hallway, a reading nook, the side of a bed, or a wall you simply want to highlight. Their position on the wall helps to structure the room and provide lighting that is closer to where it is needed than a central light alone.

Before choosing a wall lamp, consider the role it will play. For circulation, choose a light that makes passing through comfortable without glare. Near an armchair or a bed, think about the direction of the light and the distance to the reading area. In a living room, a wall lamp can also complement a ceiling light or spotlights to avoid an overly uniform atmosphere. If you are looking for a source that is easy to move or place, explore our table and bedside lamps instead.

The installation height, the spacing between two light points, and the wall finish are all important. Use masking tape or a sheet of paper to mark the spot before installation: this allows you to visualize the lamp's position from the entrance of the room, the bed, or the sofa. Also, keep paths clear around doors, curtains, and frames.

Each model has its own specifications. Check its product page for dimensions, power supply, potential adjustability, light source, and installation instructions when provided. For a more complete look, pair the wall lamp with a pendant light above a dining area or with accent lighting in the living room. You will achieve a more nuanced room without cluttering your furniture.
