Wall LightsSelecting and

Positioning

Wall Lightso It is important to not only select a set of

lights that you will adore for years to come, but also to consider the careful placement of these new lights

o The positioning of your wall lights is key to creating an appropriate atmosphere and comfortable environment within a room

o Wall lights are great at dispersing a soft, natural glow across the room that other forms cannot always achieve

Selecting your Wall Lights When selecting new wall fixtures, you should take into consideration these five main elements:

- Which room are you selecting lights for? - What is the social level within the room?- What type of activity is most carried out within the room?- What other decorative features are prominent within the room?- What is the most desirable mood within the room?

Once these considerations have been made, you will have a better idea of the most suitable style of lighting for the space required.

Sitting Room Wall Lightso If you are choosing wall lights for a sitting room,

the social level will be quite high

o A wide range of activities could take place in the sitting room. This means a variety of tones may need to be created by your choice of wall lights

o Multiple sets of wall lights on dimmer switches could be incorporated to enable the wash of light to be manipulated, depending on the desired mood and current activity

Bathroom Wall Lightso These considerations will be rather different when

selecting lights for a bathroom

o There is little or no social activity and only a few possible activities taking place

o This makes it a very easy room to select wall lights for, and they will easily add a stylish feel

o Frosted casings can help minimise the glare

within bathrooms, particularly if they are relatively small in size

Bedroom Wall Lightso The bedroom is likely to play host to some social

activity

o Various activities can occur in the bedroom, such as reading or applying your make-up

o For these reasons, soft background lighting may need to be positioned at the correct height for the desired effect

o It is important to get the balance of lighting correct to create the right ambience. Otherwise, your bedroom may not feel as inviting

Wall Light Placemento Once these considerations have been made for

the relevant room within your home, the placement can be carefully thought out

o Contemporary rooms may benefit from very few prominent bright wall lights to tie in with the minimalistic style

o Traditional style rooms however, could best suit

a larger selection of soft, warm, fixtures
