Wooden wall sconces for bathroom

Start by choosing the zone: a wooden bathroom wall light goes in the dry area, next to the mirror or above the washbasin. Then plan for two light sources, a soft general light on the ceiling and an accent light on the wall, with an E27 or G9 socket depending on the format.

What is the ideal lighting for a bathroom?

The ideal bathroom lighting combines a soft general light with an accent light near the mirror. A wooden bathroom wall light with an E27 or G9 socket, in warm white 2700-3500 K, lights without glare. In this collection, the models are IP20: they go in the dry zone, away from the shower.

Wooden bathroom wall lights: which zone should they light?

The wall light serves a specific purpose, not the whole room. Above the washbasin, a 12 cm model such as Lumière Naturelle avoids shadows on the face. On a narrow panel, Metallia at 20 x 7.5 cm slips between two doors. For a room of 5 to 7 m2, two light points are usually enough: one on the ceiling, one on the wall.

Warm white 2700-3500 K or cool white 4500-6500 K: which to choose?

Warm white is easy on the eye morning and evening, cool white makes movements sharper in front of a mirror. Two models in the collection offer both temperatures, Quessence and Silhouette Lumineuse. With an E27 socket, the bulb decides the shade, so the choice stays open at any time.

Where to place a wooden wall light in the home?

Wood suits the living room, bedroom, bathroom, hallway and dining room, the rooms where these models are most often installed. A wall light replaces a bedside lamp, highlights a mirror or lights a passage. The room you choose determines the size, colour and socket.

From living room to bedroom: where wood finds its place

Ilen is the most versatile model, with a wooden arm, a 12 cm diameter shade and a 10 cm base plate. It suits living spaces as well as those designed for the living room. Next to a bed, a wooden wall light for the bedroom replaces the bedside lamp and frees up the nightstand.

A modern kitchen decor with a wooden and metal wall light

For a modern kitchen decor, Metallia combines metal, wood and iron in a 20 x 7.5 cm format, in white, beige or red. Livlinica, a cube of grey concrete and glass, brings a rawer material. Both models can light a well-lit modern kitchen above a worktop.

What are the bathroom lighting trends?

Bathroom lighting trends favour round or globe shapes, black, beige or white finishes, and combined materials such as wood and metal. Modern, contemporary, Nordic and jungle styles dominate this selection, with glass and iron on several models.

Designer wall light or vintage spirit: which style to choose?

The globe shape and the round shape go with everything and stay easy to match. Nari plays with twisted cord and glass for an industrial feel, while the designer selection for the bathroom gathers the cleanest lines. A curved glass and a patinated metal give a softer vintage spirit.

Black, beige or white: which finish for the room?

Black stands out on a light wall and pairs with metal. Beige and white soften small rooms and coloured walls. The black versions are the most common in this selection, while the white finishes brighten a dark wall.

How to choose a wooden bathroom wall light?

Start with the socket, because it decides the light and the format: E27 on most models in the collection, G9 on the most compact ones such as Livlinica and Quessence. Then come the wall dimensions, from the small 7 x 12.3 cm format to the 21 cm wall light, followed by style and finish.

E27 or G9 socket: what difference in daily use?

The E27 socket takes a screw-in bulb, easy to replace and available in the shade you want. The G9 socket takes a shorter pin-based bulb, which keeps the wall light discreet. Nari and Ilen are E27, Livlinica and Quessence are G9.

What dimensions should you plan for on the wall?

Measure the free space between the mirror, the corner and the door before ordering. A 7 x 12.3 cm format fits almost anywhere, a 21 cm model becomes a real focal point. Our designer wooden wall lights cover both scales, from the most discreet to the boldest.

Can a wooden wall light be installed in a damp room?

Yes, as long as you respect the zone. The models in this collection are IP20, which corresponds to the dry volumes of the bathroom, away from the shower and the bathtub. Close to water, an IP44 or IP65 wall light is a better choice.

IP20, IP44, IP65: what do these ratings protect against?

IP20 protects against finger contact and dust, not against water splashes. IP44 resists splashes, IP65 resists jets. All the models in this collection are IP20, which explains their place in the dry zone, well away from the water point and everyday splashes.

Near the washbasin: what solution when you want wood?

Keep wood out of the splash zone and leave the damp volume to the IP44 models. Above the washbasin, a small IP20 format remains possible if the room is well ventilated. Around the shower, plan for IP65 wall lights near the shower.

Wall light or chandelier: what to choose for the dining room and living room?

A chandelier lights from the centre of the ceiling, a wooden wall light lights a wall, a mirror or a specific corner. In the dining room, the two combine: the chandelier above the table, the wall lights as a complement. In the living room, the wall light is often enough as accent lighting.

Is a large chandelier essential for a high ceiling?

No. A large chandelier fills a tall volume, but it is not the only solution. A wall light placed at eye level, such as Ilen or Metallia, lights a wall without taking up the ceiling and also works under a standard height.

How to pair a living room chandelier with wooden wall lights?

Keep the chandelier for general light and reserve the wall lights for side uses: reading, sideboard, room entrance. Our full range of lighting lets you build this pair without mixing two styles. For a understated living space, the Scandinavian style keeps the whole scheme consistent.

What light for toilets and a small shower room?

In a toilet, a small wooden wall light is enough: models of 7 x 12.3 cm or 12 cm in diameter take up little wall space. An E27 socket lets you choose the bulb, and an adjustable version such as Ilen lets you aim the beam towards the floor.

What size of wall light in a narrow room?

Measure the available wall width first. A model 7 to 12 cm wide fits above a small washbasin. Lighting a toilet mainly calls for low, directed light, to avoid glare in a small volume.

How to light a hallway leading to the toilet?

Two wall lights placed facing each other are often enough. The entrance and the hallway benefit from an adjustable model, such as Ilen whose arm can be turned towards the passage rather than towards the eyes.

How to install and care for a wooden wall light?

The wall light is fixed to the wall with a base plate, as on the Ilen model whose base plate measures 10 cm and arm 9 cm. It is placed at eye level, next to a mirror or a bed. Clean it with a soft cloth, without abrasive products on the wood.

At what height should a bathroom wall light be placed?

Use eye level, generally between 1.60 m and 1.80 m from the floor. Above a mirror, the wall light goes 20 or 30 cm from the top edge to avoid shadows. On a staircase, follow the handrail. Our designer wall lights for staircases are installed the same way.

How to clean wood and metal without damaging them?

A soft, slightly damp cloth is enough on wood as well as metal. Avoid abrasive products and standing water. Cut the power before replacing a bulb, then let the light cool for a few minutes.

One last reference point before ordering: choose the socket and the width, the style will follow. Secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and Designix customer service accompany every order, and the warranty covers two years on most of the selection. To complete a damp room, look at LED bathroom lighting, and to stay with wood, the wood and metal duo.
