English
We can innovate more and more with home lighting, it is no longer just about the classic ceiling lamps, floor lamps or table lamps, now, apart from the fact that in these categories we find almost infinite designs of different styles, we can also incorporate extra light to any room by placing sconces.
The bedroom is one of the spaces in the house where the most useful can be the sconces can be most useful, because normally double lighting or extra light is needed in certain points of the room, a secondary and warmer light to turn on at night or to use when we want to read for a while in bed, so we will have a direct light to the book and also, if we have a partner and wants to fall asleep before us, we will not bother him with an intense and general light.
A wall lamp is also a perfect alternative in small apartments, because they take up very little space
In fact, when placed on the wall, on a headboard or even on a shelf, we will not need side tables or additional space to place them.
Different sconces depending on the decorative style and their functionality
The design of the sconces also varies greatly, we can find them flexo, extensible, clamp, screwed to the wall..
And we can even create our own manual sconce from a suspension lamp, adding a support that we make ourselves or that we buy for that purpose. As for example a wooden pole from which to hang the lamp, some hooks on a wall from which to wind the cable of the lamp, a decorative ladder on which to hook it..
How and where to install a wall lamp correctly
If you have already decided to use sconces in the bedroom, you are probably wondering how to install them. Well, we can place them on the wall, with the internal wiring and direct to the switch, to the wall or with a switch on the cable itself and plugged into the wall.
We can place them in the same headboard instead of directly on the wall, this way they will be more integrated, as if they were part of the headboard itself.
To avoid cables in sight, the hidden cable sconces are the best. But if you must plug them into the current, you can hide them with plastic adhesive tubes. By painting them the same color as the wall, the room will look clean and aesthetically pleasing.
The right height for a wall light
To place them at the right height, first we have to consider the purpose of the lights, to know what service they will provide us, if they will be simple background lights, we will have to place them higher, if we are looking for directional lights, then they will go lower.
Sconces as reading lamps
If this is going to be their function, I recommend that you sit on the bed, or even better that you lie down and take the position you will have at the time of reading, so the installer or the person who helps you to place them, can place the sconces so that the bottom of the screen is just below the level of your eyes.
Decorative sconces
Sometimes we do not place a wall sconce only as a functional element, more and more we choose them for aesthetics and to give a different touch to our bedroom. We can place them on any wall as general lighting and as a decorative accessory, in this sense, we can innovate more, look for a different location, or we can opt for the solutions mentioned above, to use suspension lamps and place them on sconces that we design or on cabinets and shelves.
If we maintain a harmony, as in the case of the following image, where this Nordic style room maintains neutral and light colors, white and earth, in this way we can risk and be more original, for example by placing two sconces of different design, yes, of the same Scandinavian inspiration, one on each side of the bed, and subject to a shelf.
Some recommendations
To avoid an annoying brightness in the room do not use high voltage bulbs, do not opt for halogen if you intend to create a dim, warm and cozy light.
To get the most out of the light of your wall lights you can install switches with different power levels and thus regulate the light at all times.
