The use of such lamps in the interior opens up wide opportunities for the designer, because wall sconces can become not only an indispensable source of artificial light, but also solve a number of design problems. What types of sconces are there and how best to use them in the interior different rooms, today we will tell you.

Wall lamps sconces: types and purpose

Sconce lamps are lighting, which are installed directly on the wall using special brackets. Such lamps have many advantages: they are easy to install, do not require special care, but most importantly, they can be used not only as sources of artificial light, but also as decorative elements.

Most often, wall lights are used to enhance lighting in a specific area of ​​a room or to zone a room. For example, if you install a sconce near a sofa or bed, this will not only designate a relaxation area, but will also make reading as comfortable as possible.

With the help of wall sconces you can highlight this or that decorative item. Thus, sconces are most often used for artistic lighting of vases, figurines, canvases or collectibles. What can we say about the decorative role of such lighting devices?! A well-chosen and skillfully executed wall lamp can create a spectacular ensemble together with a ceiling chandelier or emphasize the chosen interior style.

Today, the range of wall sconces is so wide that you can get seriously confused. They all differ in design, texture, shape, color scheme, size and, of course, price.

According to the type of design, wall lamps can be divided into three types:

1. Sconces installed on the wall using a special bracket with a lampshade or lampshade attached to it. Such models are highly decorative, can have any shape and are suitable for interior decoration in any style.
2. Surface-mounted lamps are models with shades directly attached to the wall. Typically, such lamps have oval, round or rectangular shape. Most often, such models are used to illuminate bathrooms and toilets. Such lamps are also irreplaceable in rooms decorated in high-tech, modern, loft or minimalist styles.
3. Models with hanging lamp ( pendant lamps). Like traditional sconces, pendant lights can come in a variety of designs, so they can be used as sources of artificial light in any room.

Contrary to popular belief, modern sconces are made not only from traditional materials– glass or plastic, but also made of metal, wood, textiles and bamboo.

The designs and shapes of lamps are just as varied, which can vary from ordinary round shades to fancy shapes. Wall lamps in the shape of a heart look unusual and original. Such lamps even in the most ordinary interior can add a romantic touch. But wall lamps, made in the shape of a torch or candle, will allow you to recreate the atmosphere of a medieval castle.

In interior design, a key role is played by lighting, thanks to which you can achieve a certain atmosphere and comfort. Most lamps are not only a source of light, but also a separate decoration, a decorative element. Wall sconces in the interior are universal; they emphasize the elegance of the room, unite all objects into a single composition, while simultaneously filling the room with light.

Sconce is a lighting fixture that is mounted directly on the wall, illuminating specific area rooms: sitting area, desk, sofa, etc. Big choice models, materials allows you to choose a lamp for any style or room. Let's figure out how to buy, what nuances to take into account.

The shape of lamps can be round, oval, in the form of flowers, candles, etc. Depending on the type of design, they are divided into:

• closed. Simple geometric shape, are mainly made of glass. Mounted as close to the wall as possible, suitable for rooms with low ceilings;
• open. The lampshade can be made of any material (glass, plastic, etc.) Light falls freely on walls and interior items;

• directed. This is one light bulb on a movable base that allows you to change the direction of the light flow. Used to highlight individual decorative elements, mirrors, niches, etc.;

• decorative. Made in the shape of flowers, birds, candles, etc. on a forged base. They complement the interior and emphasize its uniqueness.

When thinking about the style, consider the appearance, quality, and finish of the sconces. Another factor that needs to be considered is saturation, the intensity of the light. Imagine how organically the lamp will fit into general composition, will be appropriate in it.

The soft, diffused light of wall lamps relaxes and creates coziness. Before purchasing, consider the key nuances of your choice:

• correspondence. The sconce must match the style of the room, design idea. Appearance selected depending on the design of the object next to which the lamp is installed. For example, if it is a mirror, then the shape and lampshade must match the mirror frame. To illuminate the paintings, diffused light is used, which does not create glare and does not distort the color of the paints. If it is installed near furniture, the fittings and material of the interior items are taken into account;

• quantity. How many wall lights will be used in one room depends on the area and layout of the room. One 40W light bulb can illuminate 3-4 square meters. This is an approximate figure, because the color of the room determines how bright the light will be. The darker the color palette of the interior, the more light sources are needed for full illumination;

• place. Before purchasing, you need to consider where the lamp will be installed. For example, for rooms with low ceilings, devices with an upward-facing light source are suitable. This will visually increase the height and correct shortcomings. IN dark rooms it is better to buy transparent lampshades made of glass, light plastic, etc. If the sconce is intended to illuminate a recreation area or bedroom, the switch is located at arm's length;

• purpose and brightness. Depending on the function, the size, type of lamp, and light intensity are selected. For decorative lighting of objects interior will suit soft, diffused lighting. In a study, a place for reading, or handicrafts, it is better to choose models with a directional light source to illuminate a specific area;

• material. When choosing, consider the temperature conditions of the room and humidity level. For example, metal sconces are not suitable for installation in the bathroom. It is better to buy materials here that are resistant to corrosion, mold, etc.

Lamps in rooms with glossy, stretch ceilings give off more light due to reflection from the surface. This composition will create volumetric lighting.

How to hang it correctly

The installation location determines how organically the sconce will fit into the overall composition, whether it will complement or spoil it. A well-chosen location will allow you to correct the shortcomings of the room ( low ceilings, narrow passage, etc.) For example, several lamps located in one row visually expand the corridor. Sconce lamps in the hallway interior, which hang 30 cm below the ceiling, illuminate the room much better.

The lamps will suit any room or interior. the main task– choose the right place for installation. For example, light directed downwards will highlight any unevenness on the walls, if any. To hide and correct paving imperfections:

• install the light source 1.6 - 2 meters from the floor. At this distance, the light is evenly scattered throughout the room. Consider the overall height of the ceiling, the dimensions of the furniture;
• if you attach the sconce closer to the ceiling, the atmosphere will be filled with solemnity, the room will visually become brighter, the ceiling will be high;
• For comfortable lighting, fix the lamps in the middle of the wall;
• to highlight a specific area (for relaxation, reading, handicrafts, etc.), the sconce is hung above the sofa, near the desk or armchair.

Also, with the help of directional light, you can additionally highlight paintings and decorative elements. To illuminate the mirrors, the light source is fixed from above.

A sconce installed in front of the TV reflects on the screen and distorts the image, which significantly worsens the quality and viewing experience.

When installing, consider the direction of the light source. For comfortable reading, handicraft lampshades are directed downwards. When turned upward, they create the illusion of space. Light directed in different directions creates a unique play of shadows.

To achieve harmony and symmetry in the interior, sconces in a modern interior are attached in pairs on both sides of furniture and objects that need to be illuminated (bed, mirror, fireplace, etc.) Another way to create a single composition is to match the lampshades to the main chandelier. In a small room it is better not to use large lamps; they will look bulky.

The main task decorative lighting– highlighting with light individual parts premises. This allows you to focus attention and highlight functional areas in the interior.

Sconce in the living room

A chandelier sconce for a hall is appropriate in the interior of any room, the main thing is to choose the color, design and size. A living room located on the north side with one window will always be dark. In this case, in addition to the main one, ceiling chandelier additional lighting is required. Lamps are often installed on both sides of the sofa, above the armchairs. This allows you to create a cozy atmosphere that is conducive to relaxation and communication. The installation height depends on the height of the ceilings. Choose a place so that the switch is at arm's length, so you don't have to get up every time to turn on the light. Sconces in a classic interior are hung near objects or furniture that need to be emphasized (fireplace, paintings, etc.)

With the help of lamps, the space can be divided into functional zones. This is true for rooms in which the living room is connected to a bedroom or study.

Installed above a sofa, armchair, sconces allow you to read and do handicrafts without disturbing others. The installation height should be sufficient so that the light flux completely illuminates the area without straining your eyesight.

Sconce in the bedroom

To create coziness and give an atmosphere of intimacy, sconces are hung symmetrically on both sides of the bed. This arrangement allows you to read and work in bed without disturbing your partner. If the room has a night table or boudoir, they are also highlighted with lighting. The intensity of light and the design of lamps depend on the style of the bedroom and the prevailing colors. When choosing a place, consider some recommendations:

• The lampshade should be high enough or away from the person so as not to overheat parts of the body during work (head, hands, etc.);
• the light flux is directed down or up. Light directed towards the ceiling visually enlarges the room and emphasizes the originality of the interior. If the lighting is directed downwards, it should not be too intense so as not to strain the eyesight;
• for convenience, choose lamps with the ability to adjust the lighting intensity. The switch is installed at arm's length to turn on the light without getting out of bed.

White sconces in the bedroom interior are combined with a monochrome style. When the room is located on sunny side, and it is dominated by bright hues, it is enough to install two lamps at the headboard. If the wallpaper is dark, you can hang additional shades on either side of the mirror or above the night table.

The sconce in the children's bedroom serves as a night light. The installation location must be such that a child cannot reach or break the lamp.

Sconce in the hallway

There are usually no windows in the corridor, so additional lighting is necessary here. Several compact lamps arranged in a row will visually enlarge the space and fill the room with light. If there are paintings or mirrors on the walls to create an accent in the interior, the light source is directed towards them.

Of course, wall lamps are not the main component of the interior. However, with them the design becomes harmonious and complete.

The first wall lamp arose in those distant times, when a man stuck a burning torch between the stones in his cave. The torches were replaced by candles, which late XIX centuries gradually replaced electric lamps. Sconces (wall lamps) have come a long way in evolution, and now with their help they not only improve room lighting, but also solve a number of design problems. We will share with you the secrets of placing sconces in various rooms.

Wall lamps and their varieties

The French word "bras" means "hand". Indeed: he extended his hand - and the lamp was turned on! Sconces became especially popular in the 17th century, when lamps made of bronze, copper, and glass replaced candelabra. The advent of electricity became the impetus for the manufacture of sconces of various types.

Today the range of wall lamps is very wide. With their help, you can highlight significant objects in the interior, divide the room into zones, and increase the illumination of the room. In addition, original sconces can act as an independent decorative item.

Sconces are easy to install and maintain. They are conventionally divided into several types:

• Surface sconces. The lamp is structurally tightly pressed against the wall. Most often these are reflected light lamps. Such models are stylistically universal, varied in shape, color, texture and size.
• Wall sconces on a bracket. The models are varied in design and materials. Sometimes a group of lampshades are placed on one common base: this design looks very original and creates good level illumination Such lamps look interesting in interiors different styles. Sometimes sconces are made in the form of several lamps on a common base.
• Open lamps- sconces without a shade, often imitation candles. Perfect for interiors in classic style, Baroque or Rococo, for example, crystal wall sconces.
• Sconce with directional light and adjustable base. These models can be controlled by directing them to the desired location. Directional sconces are perfect for high-tech interiors.

How to choose a wall lamp?

To make a sconce a truly beautiful, appropriate and functional element of your interior, ask yourself a few questions:

• In which room do you want to place the sconce?
• what general style this room and its dimensions?
• How many lighting fixtures are already in the room, what are they?
• How many windows are there in the room and where are they located?
• What is the original purpose of placing sconces: lighting or decor?
• what is the humidity level in the room?

The answers to the questions will determine the parameters of the lamp that will suit you: size, color, shape, material, number of light sources, power, degree of protection. Let's take a closer look at choosing sconces for each specific room.

In bedrooms and children's rooms, lamps that provide soft, diffused light are appropriate. This lighting helps you relax and prepare for sleep. Models with thick lampshades and matte shades look great here. It is not recommended to place crystal and glass lamps in the nursery so that the child cannot get hurt if the lamp breaks.

It is very convenient if the brightness of the lighting can be changed if desired, changing the chamber light to a brighter one that is more convenient for reading. In a child's bedroom, a weak wall-mounted night light can burn all night so that the child is not afraid to sleep. Good to use for night lights LED bulbs, since they consume less electricity.

Traditionally, sconces in the bedroom are placed at the head of the bed: one sconce on each side of a double bed, or one lamp on the side of a single bed. In the nursery, a lamp near the chair is convenient, where the child is read a fairy tale before bed. It is important that a person sitting in a chair can turn on the sconce without getting up.

Sconces located on both sides of the sofa create cozy area for relax.

In the living room, sconces are most often placed exclusively in decorative purposes. An interesting composition is created by paired lamps above symmetrical pieces of furniture, sconces in wall niches, between windows.

Modern designers are increasingly using sconces to decorate living rooms, made in the same style, but with different color solutions. This approach refreshes the room and adds dynamics to it.

Sconces in the hallway and bathroom

For small rooms, often bathrooms and hallways, sconces can be the main source of light. But the traditional role of wall lamps is to illuminate the mirror and the most significant areas. Lamps whose design repeats some elements of the mirror frame look very impressive.

High humidity in the bathroom requires waterproof wall lights. Think about the combination of plumbing materials and fixtures.

You should not create too bright lighting in the hallway: a person enters this room after the street or entrance, and the light hitting the eyes can cause unpleasant sensations. If the corridor is long, its walls will be enlivened by a row of identical sconces.

Little tricks

Wall sconces: photos and selection rules

Before choosing any lamp model, you need to understand what exactly you want to illuminate with it. Thus, sconces are often used to illuminate the bedroom in the evening, highlight mirrors, paintings, as well as armchairs for comfortable reading books.

It is necessary to analyze the style in which the room is designed in order to choose the most harmonious option. It is important to decide whether the wall lamps in the interior will be the only source of lighting or whether it is planned to have a chandelier in the room. It is worth paying attention to such “little things” as the temperature and percentage of humidity in the room (applies to the bathroom and kitchen). Based on this, you need to select the material from which the wall lamp will be made.

2. An interesting option is a lamp with a lampshade, secured with a bracket. Such lamps provide soft and diffused light and wonderfully decorate the room. Such sconces are appropriate in any room and any interior (from classic to modern). Often such a lamp with a lampshade is made in the form of two lamps that have common ground. Such sconces can be placed symmetrically near a mirror or favorite painting.
3. Wall lamps with pendant shade. Here the name itself tells about the design of such a sconce. Sometimes in such designs there is no lampshade at all, representing a simple light bulb without decoration. Often such sconces go one after another, thereby creating a real composition. In addition, the illumination of the room in this case only increases.

• The European approach is additional source lighting. Used more to create an atmosphere of relaxation in the bedroom. The lighting is quite soft and does not interfere with subsequent sleep and rest of a person.
• The American approach is that one lamp illuminates only part of the room, however, by including all the sconces, there is no need for general lighting of the bedroom.

Often in the bedroom, sconces are installed near the bed on both sides or near the dressing table. If you place wall lamps at the head of the bed, then pay attention to models with a light brightness control function. There are even sconces with a remote control, which is very convenient.

When lighting the area of ​​the dressing table with a mirror, try to install as much lighting as possible with different sides. This will allow you not to peer into the mirror when trying to put on or remove makeup.
