Wall lamps add an impressive accent to a space as additional decorative lights. Wall lighting lets you combine direct and indirect light in the hallway, outdoor spaces or living room to create points of selective light in addition to your basic lighting. Find out what you need to know when selecting and using wall lights.
Wall lights: Atmospheric light for any space
Wall lamps with suitable light sources produce indirect light that radiates from the ceiling or wall. These lamps help you create a cosy atmosphere at home with warm light. Wall spotlights have a number of advantages when compared to other types of lighting. They can be attached and removed as needed, do not require much space nor any annoying cables. They can also be installed in any room or outdoors and can be used in a variety of ways.
Thanks to the wide selection of shapes and colours, wall lights also serve as design highlights. Finally, these stylish light sources are available in a variety of designs, from wall reading lights to recessed wall lights as well as up and down lights. Are you looking for atmospheric lighting for your living space? We would be more than happy to help you find a suitable LED wall light for any room.
Wall lights for living rooms and bedrooms
The right illumination plays a big role in living rooms and bedrooms, as this is where you spend most of your time. Wall lamps and ceiling lights of exceptional design are an excellent choice for your living room. So direct and indirect lighting is not the only thing that will provide a homely atmosphere. And they become an eye-catching addition to your decor with their special look. For example, two identical wall lights placed on the right and left side of a large living area will create a particularly good look. They will immerse the space in cosy light, ensuring a pleasant evening in front of the TV.
The bedroom calls for subtle wall lights, which complement the calm ambiance with their inconspicuous look. We recommend dimmable LED wall lamps with swivel heads that can provide targeted light for reading. As a clever replacement for the bedside table, wall lamps with integrated shelves can be great multi-functional helpers. They offer space for your reading glasses and other items that need to be within easy reach next to the bed. Optionally, single-lamp or twin-lamp luminaires on the wall can give your bedroom more charm thanks to their unpretentious look.
Indoor and outdoor areas: Stylish lighting for any ambiance
Wall-mounted lights are a good solution for practical lighting both indoors and outdoors. They not only add lighting accents to external facades to create a special mood, but also provide enhanced security after dark. Recessed wall lights provide a highly decorative touch to outdoor areas as they create lighting effects and illuminate the pathways around the house.
Safety aspects are especially important in the garden or in front of the garage. Since outdoor lamps are permanently exposed to various weather conditions, they must have an appropriate IP protection class. For wall lighting on house walls, you should opt for a model with protection against splash water according to IP44 or IP65. The material used also plays a substantial role in outdoor areas. For example, luminaires made of aluminium are resistant to rust and can withstand weather conditions.
Direct vs. indirect light: The perfect lighting for your home
A combination of direct and indirect light is the ideal solution for any room. The use of direct light, often provided by focused modern light sources, is a great way to highlight specific areas or items. However, modern lamps also offer flexible solutions for indirect lighting. They can immerse a space in a soft pleasant light, while the light source itself is not directly visible. Such lamps are a good solution for backlighting. They can be used in a variety of ways to create a harmonious lighting atmosphere that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Basically, our recommendation is to maintain a good balance of direct and indirect lighting. Indirect wall lighting can be used as a special decorative highlight or as subtle outdoor lighting. In situations where strong lighting is needed, direct light sources that provide intense illumination of individual objects or areas are a better idea.
A variety of wall light styles: From classic to modern
Since wall lights not only provide light, but can also serve as a pretty decorative element to enhance your interior, you need to make sure that you choose the right model. The best way to go about this is to focus on your existing furnishing style to find the right Paulmann wall light in a matching design.
A lamp is more than just light – it’s a design element too
Wall lights provide soft ambient light and thanks to the wide variety of designs, they blend in with the style of the room. Wall lights with lampshades add a cheerful touch and become a complement to your furnishings thanks to the colourful shades and the fascinating play of light and shadows. Nevertheless, wall lights with a minimalist look also create a visual highlight. They do not have any kind of light shade, yet they appear elegant and simple even in daylight thanks to their puristic wood, aluminium or glass materials.
Clever designs: Function meets form
Paulmann wall lights combine clever designs and practical functionality. The best proof of this are single-lamp spotlights; their simple design means that they can be used in a variety of ways. They create exciting light reflections and beam light onto the wall in several directions.
Aesthetic lighting in combination with LED technology and smart technologies is even more practical. A wall light uses much less electricity without losing its luminosity. Even frequent switching on and off does not harm the energy-efficient light-emitting diodes. They can achieve a lifespan of at least 100,000 hours, even in heavily frequented spaces.
