Chandeliers and wall lamps started to become very popular around the 17th century, during the so-called Baroque period. From their origins, wall lights were considered not only as sources of light, but also as furnishing objects with which to fill and embellish the walls of various rooms.
Wall Lights: A Versatile Lighting Solution
Today, wall lights continue to be key elements in the decoration and furnishing of modern homes. Available in a wide range of models and styles, wall lights are designed to suit different lighting needs and stylistic contexts. From classic to contemporary homes, there are solutions to suit every type of environment.
Types of Wall Lights: Different Lights and Styles
Wall lights are distinguished mainly by the number of lights. There are models with a single light, perfect for illuminating specific spots, and models with several lights, ideal for creating more diffuse lighting. Among the most popular models, two-light wall lights occupy a prominent place. These, thanks to their simple and minimalist form, lend themselves to numerous design variations, characterised by different styles and materials.
Tradition and Modernity: Two-Light Wall Lights
Two-light wall lights, made in a classic style, are particularly popular for their design that recalls antique forms. A typical example is the bulb holder that resembles a candle, often decorated to simulate the effect of melted wax. These designs are inspired by the medieval and Renaissance candelabra that once hung on the walls of castles and palaces. Today, these classic wall sconces are embellished with gold and crystal details that enhance their brilliance and elegance.
Wall lights for every furnishing style
In addition to classic wall lights, the market offers a wide range of models suitable for different furnishing styles. Classical-modern wall lights, for example, are perfect for luxurious rooms with antique furniture, while those with a more modern or rustic design suit contemporary homes or those with a country chic feel.
An example of a wall light for modern rooms is the two-light model from Metal Lux’s ‘Atom’ collection. This model is characterised by a simple, linear design that is perfect for lighting modern rooms.
On the other hand, the two-light ‘Savona’ wall light from the Ferroluce collection, with its directional spotlights, is ideal for rustic or vintage-style rooms.
