Scandinavian wooden wall lamps

Plan one wall light on each side of the bed, one every 2 to 3 metres in a hallway, and choose the socket before the shape. This selection brings together scandinavian wooden wall light designs for the living room, bedroom, hallway or entrance: light wood combined with metal, glass or fabric, E27, G9 or GU10 sockets, black, white, brown or beige finishes.

Which scandinavian wooden wall light should you choose for your interior?

First choose the room, then the socket and the material. For a living room or a bedroom, a light wood wall light with a conical or globe shade diffuses a warm, wide light. In a narrow hallway, a model with stacked discs or a metal cage lights the way without taking up space.

Scandinavian wooden wall light: where to start?

Wood is the dominant material in the selection, present on around three quarters of the models, metal on nearly one in two. Then comes the question of the socket: G9 on the largest share of references, E27 just behind, GU10 for the rest. The socket decides the bulb, and therefore the result. All models are IP20, intended for dry rooms.

Scandinavian style wall lights: what sets them apart

A simple line, a natural material, a warm light. The shapes that stand out are mainly the tube, the round and the globe, with a few squares. In terms of styles, Nordic and Modern dominate, followed by Minimalist and Contemporary. To go further, browse the design wooden wall lights and the rest of the Designix lighting catalogue.

How do you match a wooden wall light with the wall colour and dark wood furniture?

On a dark wall, a light wood and black metal model creates the contrast; on a white, grey or beige wall, a white and wood wall light blends in without a break. If the furniture is dark wood, a lighter wood is better, to avoid two browns competing.

What wall colour with dark wood furniture?

A white, beige or light grey wall lets dark furniture breathe and keeps the room bright. If the wall is already dark, play on strong contrast with the black finishes for a light wall or, conversely, a light frame. The white finishes fade into the background and let the light take the stage alone.

Which wall light with a sofa and a scandinavian interior?

A light fabric sofa calls for light wood and discreet metal. The wood and metal versions draw a graphic line above a low sideboard, while a wood and fabric model softens the light. The black metal frames also work on a wall painted grey.

Which wall lights should you choose for a living room?

In the living room, the wall light complements the pendant: a long arm or a reading light illuminates reading on the sofa, while a disc, a globe or a metal cage dresses the wall. The wood and fabric or wood and glass versions light widely, the wood and black metal versions draw a more graphic contrast.

Lighting a reading corner without a table lamp

An articulated arm and a directional shade direct the light onto the book without dazzling the person opposite. The Liègora articulated wall light combines a 90 cm arm, a 30 cm diameter cork shade and an E27 socket. For a large drum shade, the Livnorissa reading light reaches 120-150 cm.

Dressing a living room wall with a wooden wall light

On a TV wall or behind a sofa, a disc or globe wall light is enough to structure the space. The models designed for the living room and the LED wall lights for living rooms are installed in pairs, on either side of an artwork or a shelf.

Which wooden wall lights for an adult bedroom?

In an adult bedroom, two light wood wall lights on either side of the bed replace the bedside lamps and free up the nightstand. Choose a warm light of 2700 to 3500 K, an E27 or G9 socket, and a globe, tube or conical shade shape depending on the mood you want.

What height for two wall lights on each side of the bed?

Place them at shoulder height once seated in bed, generally around 1.10 to 1.30 m from the floor, about 40 to 60 cm from each edge of the mattress. Check the depth of the model so it does not get in the way of an open book. The Harper globe wall light protrudes only 6 cm from the wall.

Using low consumption LED lighting in the bedroom

The majority of the references in the collection are LED, often 8 W or 10 W, which is enough to read without lighting the whole room. The LED wall lights for bedrooms and the wooden wall lights for bedrooms selection group these models. The Orlo model in wood and glass combines a globe and a sphere in G9.

Which socket and light temperature for a wooden wall light?

The collection is divided between E27, G9 and GU10 sockets. An E27 takes a wide bulb and a warm light of 2700 to 3500 K; a G9 stays discreet in a small disc; a GU10 directs a narrow beam. The wattages recorded range from 6 to 15 W in LED, with E27 models rated up to 40 W.

E27, G9 or GU10 socket: which one to choose?

The G9 dominates the selection, the E27 follows closely. Take an E27 for a diffuse, wide light, a G9 for a disc or a small globe, a GU10 when you need to aim at a worktop or a corner. The E27 socket models are the easiest to equip.

Warm white or cool white: which temperature should you choose?

Warm white of 2700 to 3500 K suits the living room, the bedroom and the hallway. Cool white of 4500 to 6500 K lights more sharply and is reserved for work areas. To adjust the intensity in the evening, look at the dimmable wall lights and the design LED wall lights.

Where should you install a wooden wall light in a hallway, an entrance or a staircase?

In a hallway, place the wall lights at mid-height and at regular intervals to avoid shadow zones. In a narrow entrance, a shallow model limits obstruction in the passage. Along a staircase, alternate the heights. All the models in the collection are IP20: dry rooms only.

Hallway and entrance: height and spacing

Allow one wall light every 2 to 3 metres, at around 1.80 m from the floor, and be careful not to cross two beams on the same wall. The modern models for hallways often come in pairs, like the Sorenti double beam cube, which protrudes only 10 cm. For small spaces, see the wall lights for toilets.

Staircase: lighting the descent without overlighting

Alternate slightly above and slightly below the handrail line: the eye follows the slope and each step stays readable without dazzling. The design wall lights for staircases with stacked discs are well suited to this use, in G9.

How do you install and maintain a wooden wall light?

The wall light is fixed to a flush mounting box or a wall bracket, away from water zones. Mark the height before drilling, cut the power, screw the supplied bracket then connect according to the manufacturer's instructions. For wood, a soft dry cloth is enough; a fabric shade is dusted dry.

How do you fix a wall light?

Mark the height with a pencil, check that no cable runs at that point, switch off the circuit breaker, then drill and plug according to the bracket. The connection is made following the model's instructions, never blindly. A wall light that moves can be fixed by tightening the bracket screw.

How do you clean a wooden wall light without damaging the finish?

A soft dry cloth on the wood and metal, without abrasive product or damp sponge. A fabric shade or a leather strap is dusted dry. Cut the power before handling the bulb. On glass, a slightly damp cloth then an immediate wipe.

How do you recognise a quality scandinavian wall light?

The scandinavian style is recognised by a simple line, a natural material and a warm light: here, wood, metal or glass, in black, white, brown, grey or beige. Quality shows in the finish, the socket and the warranty, from two to five years depending on the models. The wattages and temperatures stated must remain consistent with each other, a large gap often signalling a data error. A well finished model is also recognised by the care taken in the assemblies and the neatness of the cables.
