{"title":"Jute wall sconces","description":"\u003cp\u003eA jute wall sconce softens the light: the textile absorbs part of the output and gives back a warm halo, with no harsh reflection on the wall. Choose it based on the socket listed on the product page, the size of the shade and the tone of the weave, then mount it at eye level, between 1.50 m and 1.80 m from the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"lumiere\"\u003eWhat kind of light does a jute wall sconce give?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jute weave acts as a screen: part of the output is absorbed by the fibre, the rest passes through and is diffused. The result is a warm, even halo on the wall, with no sharp patch and no glare when you sit nearby. This softness has a downside: the room is not lit as it would be under a ceiling light. It is accent lighting, not a work light. For reading, pair it with a reading lamp or a ceiling light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich bulb gives a soft light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA warm white bulb, around 2700 K, looks best on the fibre: the wall stays warm without turning orange. A filament bulb gives a livelier halo, a warm LED a more even result and low consumption. Avoid cool colour temperatures, which whiten the textile and harden the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUp or down, how should the beam be aimed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sconce closed at the top concentrates light downwards, handy above a sofa or a bed.
