Whether for the hallway, living room, bedroom or bathroom: our large selection makes it easy for you to choose the right wall light for your home.

Wall Luminaires and Their Tasks

In modern homes, wall luminaires are used in a variety of ways, mostly to support general lighting.

That is, unlike the ceiling light the wall light rarely illuminates a room all alone - unless they are very small rooms, like the guest toilet. Or narrow rooms, such as the hallway or the staircase, where several wall luminaires are usually mounted in a row.

The second task of the wall luminaire is to provide suitable light in certain areas. This can be the beautiful reading light in the reading corner or good mirror lighting in the bathroom. As bedside lamps, wall luminaires also have many fans because, in contrast to table lamps, they are mounted in a pleasantly space-saving way, leaving room for other things by the bed.

A third typical task of the wall light is mood lighting, which creates a beautiful ambience in the evening. First choice for this are luminaires with indirect lighting, which shines softly and unobtrusively and is distributed subtly throughout the room.

Planning Wall Lighting Correctly

The beauty of wall luminaires is that they take up very little space and are therefore also a good choice for small rooms and apartments. In addition, illuminated walls make rooms bigger and ceilings higher.

The minus point is that the connections of the wall luminaires are usually built into the wall. Planning wall lighting anew is therefore usually a larger project in which new cables have to be laid in the walls and new connections installed.

Those who already have a wall light and only wants to replace it are more flexible: here you can usually easily replace the old light with a new one.

Shapes from Classic to Modern

Wall luminaires are available in countless shapes - from simple to opulent. The classics are luminaires with a shade or translucent lampshades made of satinised glass, for example.

With many modern wall luminaires, the focus is less on the luminaire and more on the shape of the light. So often inconspicuous objects suddenly throw artistic designs onto the wall when they are switched on, skilfully playing with light and shade.

Models with swivel arms are also a practical trend. Like a table lamp or floor lamp, you can direct the light where it is needed, but do not take up any standing space.

Finding the Right Wall Light

As always when buying luminaires, you should first consider what your new luminaire can do for you when purchasing one or more wall luminaires: Do you prefer bright or subdued light? Rather widely diffused or concentrated?

The correct size of the luminaire is also important: it should be neither too large nor too small for the wall. It should also harmonise with other luminaires in the room, both in terms of lighting effect and style. Although many current wall luminaires can be combined with all kinds of home furnishings, they work best when they harmoniously complement the style of the house.

For classic interiors we recommend elegant lamps with shade, preferably in warmer metal tones or with wooden elements. Luminaires with slender lines and cool surfaces made of stainless steel or chrome work best in modern home furnishings.

Different Luminaires, Same Design

Wonderfully harmonious wall luminaires work when combined with luminaires of the same series. These can be other wall luminaires, and also matching pendant lights, floor lamps or table lamps.

Some large luminaire manufacturers offer popular designer luminaires often as a complete series that can be used to decorate individual rooms or entire apartments.

At what height do you install it?

We are often asked at what height wall luminaires should be mounted. There is no general answer to this question, as the mounting height depends on various factors: Does the wall light shine upwards or downwards? Or even outwards to the front? Should it function as an orientation light or illuminate the room?

In principle, the rule applies: The wall luminaire should not dazzle. This is the case with luminaires that radiate upwards or downwards if they are mounted at eye level, for example. This is the case with an average height of 1.60 m to 1.70 m.

However, beware of the trap: if the connections for the raw building structure are planned, you still have to remember to add the final flooring, there are sometimes 10 to 20 centimeters in total for insulation, screed, parquet etc.

These rules do not apply to orientation light in the hallway or on the stairs. Their only task is to guide you safely through the house at night.

Wall lights for different rooms

Wall luminaires are used in a wide variety of rooms: bathrooms, hallways, kitchens, living rooms, nurseries, bedrooms or stairwells. Of course, you can decide on your own which wall light to use where. To make it easier for you, we have put together which luminaires are best suited for which room. Simply select the installation location in the filter navigation under "Rooms".

Bathroom

In the bathroom, wall lights are mainly used for mirror lighting. Of course, you can also install one or two additional luminaires for general lighting.

Bedroom

In bedrooms, wall lights are often a replacement for bedside lamps. Anyone who likes to read in bed should make sure that the lamp can be adjusted.

Stairwell

On the staircase, wall lights either serve as orientation light or illuminate the entire stairwell.
