Beautiful wall lights: 30 photos of interior design ideas

Balls, lanterns, bells, tulips, drops, horns and a fantastically beautiful gallery of different types and shapes in addition to chains, crystals, pendants are ready to make life brighter. Colored and frosted glass products, with gilding and crystal, bronze and silver plating, with artistic forging and an exclusive collection of authors will bring beauty and charm to the house. And if you doubt the instant transformation of space using light magic, obvious facts will convince you of realism similar projects. By manipulating the outgoing flows, you can “raise” the ceiling, “push” the walls, add catchy spots in the form of lace shadows, highlight beautiful moments of decoration and at the same time correspond to the interior fashion. It's simple, if you skillfully adjust the incandescent light bulbs, set the vector for radiation and correctly place the lighting devices.

We play by the rules

To begin with, in a small room, central lighting is contraindicated, since the volume visually decreases one and a half times. It is possible to add heights to the walls by mounting sources placed in parallel: dashed along the ceiling and skirting boards, and ideally built directly into the depths. With this arrangement, the lower beams directed upward will mirror the upper streams and create the required optical effect. The result is more noticeable against the background of suspended ceilings and textures that are capable of reflection.

If you use linear lighting technology and arrange a composition with long stripes on the ceiling, or disperse halogen bulbs pointwise, the perimeter will clearly rush to the sky. Luminous lines or a scattering of lights will give the room an illusory weightlessness. In support of single sconces on the wall with a rotary mechanism that sets the desired radiation vector, the room will drown in light, which will add volume.

If the object is not visible, then it does not exist. This is because the high ceiling does not have to be brightly lit. Then it will merge above with a dark environment and the scale will be noticeably adjusted. It is not difficult to create such a chamber environment with patterned shadows coming from electrical appliances with lampshades and hinged structures with falling flows. Such variations are relevant in any of the rooms and are considered as an auxiliary resource.

In a large room, you should change tactics and use the capabilities of multi-level lighting. This will allow you to exploit different mood scenarios. In order to create a relax atmosphere, one should focus on the potential of a particular zone. Open lamps, wall-mounted versions with an insulating decorative panel, and floor lamp domes are suitable. The priority of the design of the fixtures depends on the stylistic idea of the materialized project.

Significantly expand the narrow perimeter will help bright beams coming from the back of the room and a modest flicker of side lights. In solidarity with the flat built-in sources at the top, equipped with a matte panel, evenly flowing soft light will create a different sensation.

New scenarios in the old game

The effect of evening illumination will intensify many times if it is supposed to make one of the walls dominant and assign responsibility for the decorative part to it. One-sided light emanating from numerous black square cases hung vertically in strict sequence offers a light show. For aesthetes, such a project has an elegant alternative. The idea is based precisely on the color match with the design of the living room, due to which a multifaceted impression is formed. Miniature sconces on a stone wall, in the aggregate of ceiling lights, symbolize a delicate taste and creativity.

The area above the sofa in the living room can be illuminated by a series of luminous ceiling panels, a pair of lampshades with peripheral radiation. Wall models with strict edges successfully complement the composition in the living room.

In the project in the photo, bidirectional sconces provide area lighting. Curly beams with the same activity scatter rays along the plane and in support of the spot pattern on the ceiling will be ideal for a small perimeter.

What to hang in the kitchen with bright accessories so as not to scatter attention? In the active perimeter, priority will be devices with adjustable flows, made in a metal case. They can be in harmony with the facades or merge with the wall. Silver or black cones with focused radiation delicately fit into the color gallery.

You can’t argue with tradition

No matter how fashion changes, lampshade classics are always in favor. Colored and neutral domes are a priori associated with home comfort and with their presence they can transform any interior. Luxurious decor with Swarovski crystals, pearls, gold braid emphasizes the presentability of the design. Modest cones are ready to decorate a more restrained design, speak in the "support group" of the background, and perform a utilitarian task in the toilet room. Transparent figured lampshades unobtrusively dilute the dark background or tone identity and form complement the stylistic idea.

From this collection there are also lamps with candle lamps. The French tradition of filling the house with the light of twinkling minions will survive any futuristic version. The choice of candelabra became more interesting, the shape changed somewhat, but the design remained the same. In the context of the same chandelier with a bronze skeleton, in the overflow of crystal pendants, the room will sink into a scattering of lights and will become the main focus of classical design and art deco.

In a modern way

In addition to traditional plastic, glass and familiar forms, the model range is represented by fancy views, new materials and ideas. Spiral, spherical, oval, luminous ribbons, flat and convex panels, metal tubes are designed to integrate design or create shocking. So, a cascading 3-level lamp with a scattering of crystal drops hanging on a black wall affects the mind magically.

Wall lamps do not conceal the volume and are perfect for small rooms. At the same time, the closer the structure is to the surface, the more clearly dignity or textural flaws are displayed. Such options are good for the bathroom. In minimalist designs, a shade of gray or black glass with a metal rod emphasizes the depth of pure colors and the nuances of the plaster.

The forged elements of the lamp in the Gothic style will convince you of the luxury of art deco. Column candles and ceramic horns will recall the past and, with the participation of attributes with history, will recreate the retro concept. It is easy to guess what style cast bronze structures and rice paper cones belong to. Matte round shades, glass domes with a ceramic base, crystal pendants not burdened with unnecessary details, fabric lampshades with braid take root in country, loft, steampunk. And yet, despite such diversity, it is permissible to combine lighting devices in one perimeter. Sconces, lamps, floor lamps in textured buildings together give the impression of a carefully thought-out interior. Compromise compositions with the participation of different species look especially interesting in modern designs.

With overhead single and double panels, LED strip, it is possible to organize safe and beautiful lighting of different activities without shadows and reflection. The type of light bulb determines its quality. For example, pin holders with the G mark for white light fixtures are not suitable for all rooms. To add warmth, you should rely on the familiar shape of the domes with an opaque top.

European factories mainly produce small collections and offer kits that make it easy to pick up paired items to the chandelier. So, Italians and Dutch are constantly experimenting with lines and shapes and rely on design creativity. With such advertising, angular models, origami lamps, and other futuristic versions became fashionable. Germany, Austria, Switzerland prefer to produce innovative products like three-dimensional light, LED lighting. Country and retro appliances will be provided by Spain and England. Classic lamps with crystal and decor from Swarovski represent France, Italy.
