An original wall light stands out from the standard model through its shape or its mix of materials: an opal glass globe on a curved arm, a glass drop, a fabric shade on a metal arm. For a bohemian chic or country chic feel, look for a brass frame, a round or drop shape and warm white light.

Only part of the selection takes a wall dimmer: Cosmo, Cassiope, Marenzio and Vellinena are among them. Check the mention before buying, especially with an LED bulb: not all are dimmable.
