Let our wall lamps chase away shadows, wrap your bed in a cosy glow, or add a splash of style to any blank wall. With everything from sleek sconces and spotlights to bright panels and gentle uplighters, there’s a perfect fit for every space. Plus, many use energy-smart LED bulbs that light up your home without draining the planet or your wallet.
Can wall lamps be placed on either side of a bed?
Yes, wall lamps work well either side of a bed, freeing up bedside table space while adding a neat, symmetrical look. Many are also dimmable, though this usually depends on the bulb and switch rather than the sconce itself, so look out for dimmable options or pair yours with a dimmer switch to easily set the mood.
Wall lamps in sizes and styles for every space
Wall lamps come in a variety of designs to stylishly transform an entire space, or simply help you read comfortably in bed or at your desk. Find everything you need to light up your home with affordable options in traditional, contemporary, boho and modern wall sconces.
In addition to popular wall sconce lighting, we offer wall lamps with flexible placement options. Some styles of wall lamps can also be ceiling mounted or function as table lamps. Check the product details for your favourite designs for more information.
Should wall sconces face up or down?
Whether you should mount your wall sconce lamp with the light casting upwards or downwards depends on the purpose the lighting will serve, and your desired aesthetic.
- For reading in bed, doing homework at your desk or working on anything that requires task lighting, it’s best to use downlighting for bright focused light. Consider where you’ll be standing, sitting or leaning when using the wall lamp and position it appropriately to perfectly illuminate the area.
- Depending on the effect you’d like to achieve for things like trophy cases, artwork or photography, wall sconce lights can be placed above or below any of your cherished pieces. Multiple wall mounted lamps can also be positioned in alignment above or below larger focal areas, such as living room gallery walls.
- Uplighting is generally recommended for lighting high ceilings, particularly when attractive structures such as decorative wooden arches or beams would otherwise be lost in shadow.
For open spaces such as bare living room walls or stretches of hallway, wall sconce lights that provide both uplighting and downlighting can provide a stunning visual effect when paired with other lamps and light fixtures in our extensive home lighting collection.
