Designer sconces

In apartments and country houses individual elements of the interior can perform at least two functions - to bear the mandatory functional load and be a special design solution, which is a real work of art. Designer sconces can become such items in everyday life. They can decorate any room of the house and apartment - bedrooms, living rooms, halls and other rooms.

Such lamps are not only imagination and a flight of creative thought of a designer, interesting materials and unusual solutions, but also an interior item that creates a special atmosphere.

Sources of additional indoor lighting are required in many cases. Wall lights - ideal for many occasions when the room requires additional light.Wall sconces, which are mounted on the wall, were very popular during the Soviet era.

Almost in each apartment in the rooms two light sources were installed at once. Hanging chandelier most often traditionally placed in the center of the room under the ceiling and was the main source of light in the dark. The second source is a table lamp or sconces, mounted on the wall.

A wide range of such lamps was presented in household appliances stores, they had different shapes and were always affordable. But years have passed, and today sconce is a special element of the decor in the room. Designer lamps are made of a wide variety of materials: glass, ceramics, metal, plastic, various additional elements that decorate the lighting fixture are used.

Such interior items really decorate the room, complement its style, composition with unusual architectural solutions and materials used in the work, emphasize the features of the interior.

When choosing wall fixtures, you should clearly imagine exactly where in the room they will be. On which wall, for example, in a children's room, it is supposed to place a sconce - on the far, where there is less natural light in the room, on the side, where the child’s desk is located or near the bed. Each of these options requires a special approach to the choice, as in principle, and in every other room.

When choosing luminaires, one should pay attention to their forms - for large spacious rooms, wall lamps of various shapes and sizes are most often suitable. In rooms with low ceilings massive sconces look inappropriately, compact small rectangular lamps or elongated sconces look much better.

If the room is decorated in a modern modern style with bright reactive solutions of interior design, it is unlikely that wall lights with antique look will fit into the situation.And vice versa - in the room of the classical style with heavy curtains and tapestries on the walls you should not get modern "screaming" sconces.

Style - the basis of design decisions. Buying a lighting device should not be in vain. Sconces should be in harmony with the general style of an apartment or house, make the atmosphere more pleasant and expressive, have suitable shapes and sizes, acceptable colors. Each of these elements can overlap with some interior details, and then it will be considered a harmonious approach to the design of the room.

Experts recommend for the interior in the style of the classics to use design proposals made of wood, with shades made of colored glass, plastic, ceramics or thick fabric.

Such lighting devices are much more expensive than industrial production of lamps produced in large "circulation".

The authors of design lighting take into account all modern features, including the management of lamps. Surprisingly, for their use it is not necessary to use the electrical network. Sconces appeared on the market, which react to movement in the premises and are turned on, as soon as a person enters the room.

Smart technologies allow you to control the brightness of lighting, often the lamps have a two-three-phase program of the brightness of the light and change the flow of light from touching the ceiling.

Often, design authors use batteries and batteries as a source of energy, and the devices themselves have not the usual traditional light bulbs, but LEDs. They can be multi-colored, which gives a special mood in the room.

When choosing a wall lamp in a design, it is important to remember what the device will specifically serve.

• Lighting near the bed is required for evening reading, and then the light should be bright and at the same time dim.
• Lamps in the bedroom of a child should not irritate the brightness and not distract the baby from sleep.
• In the kitchen or in the dining room for additional lighting places where meals are prepared and food is taken, the light should be rich and bright.
• In the hall and in the living room - with the possibilities of the distribution of light flux, so that guests and households feel cozy and comfortable.
