Wall lamps - purpose and history
Wall lamps are all kinds of lighting fixtures that have a special mounting system and are designed for installation on a vertical surface. With their help, you can highlight individual parts of rooms or the entire room at once.
They play both a functional and decorative role. They are used for convenient lighting of specific areas. For example, a wall lamp next to an armchair or bed will make reading books as comfortable as possible. At the same time, they are often used to highlight decorative elements. For example, they can be used to draw attention to a painting, vase, figurines, collectibles, etc.
The history of wall lamps goes back to the distant past. We can say that the first “lamp” was a burning stick inserted into a gap between the stones in a cave of ancient people. Since then, people have realized the importance of additional wall lighting and have gradually upgraded the "lights". In the Middle Ages, the walls of Gothic castles were illuminated by burning torches, and the first forged lamps with chains began to appear. In the 18th century, the walls of palaces were already decorated with luxurious gilded candelabra with ornate shapes and original patterns. Later, massive wall lamps appear in the form of lion heads with open mouths.

Popular lamp models
Lamps in the Provence style do not have to be purchased or ordered in France. Some models of modern lamps, which are made of traditional materials characteristic of rustic decor, are suitable for this interior. Italian-made models, which are widely represented in our stores, will also look good in the interior.
You can pay attention to handmade models. If possible, you can even create a masterpiece in the Provence style yourself. To do this you will need some household items and natural materials, a brush with paints and threads. You can use a simple white lampshade and apply a floral pattern or rural motifs to it.
Pay attention to the compatibility of various lamps in the interior. It is important that the ceiling lamp fits not only into the interior, but also matches the entire interior. But other lighting fixtures in the room, such as floor lamps, should also echo it. It is not necessary that they exactly repeat the shape or design. They may simply have some similar details. When choosing lighting fixtures for one room, you need to focus on the central figure of the composition.
Lamps made in Provence style fit well not only into this interior solution. They look perfect in a classic interior and decorate a room in a country style. In some cases, they look good in modern spaces.

What types of modern style lamps are there?
Lamps in a modern style allow you to make maximum use of lighting for your interior needs. With their help you can realize the most daring design projects.
Ceiling lamps in a modern style
Models of pendant chandeliers in a modern style are very self-sufficient, but they do not draw all the attention to themselves. Advanced technologies and cutting-edge materials have expanded the range of creative possibilities for lighting designers, so lamps in a modern style with a minimalist appearance can be incredibly fashionable and attractive.
Pendant ceiling lights on a cord
The trend of recent years is ceiling lamps in a modern style with a large domed lampshade. Designers often use them to decorate the area above the kitchen island or dining table. However, using chandeliers with large lampshades requires caution, as such lamps can look bulky in a small room, visually occupying the entire area of the room.
Recently, pendant chandeliers with glass lampshades and bases made of brushed metal, which has the beautiful name soft gold, have become very popular. This shade is a cross between silver and gold and fits perfectly into many designs. The matte finish of the soft gold metal creates a visual effect of soft defocusing, as if the lamp does not have clearly defined boundaries.

Modern style wall lamps
Our eyes are designed in such a way that in a room our gaze will be drawn to the brightest point. Therefore, the right lighting can highlight a piece of art, a mirror above the fireplace, or a painting in the living room. It is most logical to use wall lamps for these purposes.
Designer long sconces
Modern-style sconces are great for illuminating functional areas or places where adjustable lighting is required. They should also be used where every square meter counts, for example, a tiny room, a dark hallway or a bathroom.
Popular models of wall lamps in a modern style are equipped with a flexible base. They are ideal for the bedside area. The movable base, with which you can turn the sconce in any direction, allows you to set the direction of the light flow. Your other half will sleep peacefully, without being distracted by bright light, while you read a book or the latest newspaper.
Designer lamps in a modern style
An alternative to a flexible base is swivel brackets. A modern wall lamp with this base will be the ideal lighting fixture in the bathroom, making it easier to shave or apply makeup.
Modern style floor lamps
Modern style floor lamps have an excellent appearance. They open up wide opportunities for you to improve your interior design. Conceptual models of floor lamps can act as full-fledged focal points. Designers often introduce large floor lamps in a modern style into the interior, which actively attract attention and create a wow effect.

But aesthetic qualities do not detract from their functionality. Modern floor lamps are extremely versatile and mobile, which allows you to equally effectively solve the problem of lighting in different rooms. If you want to use a floor lamp in a functional area, such as a study or living room next to an armchair, choose a model with an adjustable base that allows you to direct the light where you want it.

Modern style table lamps
Table lamps in a modern style are suitable for most rooms, and their relatively small sizes and wide range of models make them ideal auxiliary elements for complete interior lighting.

Invisible
The passion for minimalism not only simplifies the shapes of lighting fixtures, but also completely dissolves them in space. Light sources invisible to the eye are still in trend; they are actively used in lighting design as accent and functional lighting.
The lighting merges with the architectural elements; we see the light, but we do not see its source.
Recessed luminaires completely merge with the ceiling, leaving only the optical glass on display. Spotlights are built into furniture, positional ones - into walls and floors.

Where to place the wall lamp
Wall lamps fit well into almost any room. However, they can make some wall imperfections visible. It is best to place them at a height of about 2 meters, that is, above human height. Then they will distribute light well throughout the entire room.
If you want to make the room lighting as bright and festive as possible, hang them closer to the ceiling. This technique was used back in the 19th century in palace halls. If, on the contrary, you like a mysterious, romantic atmosphere in the room, hang them closer to the floor.
Surprisingly, wall lights are rarely used as main lighting in large rooms. Although, if you hang several lamps on the walls, they can easily cope with this task. They can be a wonderful main source of light in the hallway, hallway, or bathroom.
With their help you can create interesting spatial effects. For example, to make a room more spacious, you can mount several lamps in a row on one wall.
Wall lamps located exactly halfway between the ceiling and floor will help make a room with a high ceiling more comfortable.

Lighting rules in Provence style
- Use of natural and natural materials. Many lighting fixtures in the Provence style are exclusively a country option. Not many models can be used in an apartment. This is due to the use of natural materials. To create a more strict and modern version, there are models decorated with forging, porcelain and metal.
- Correct color. Provence has special requirements for color schemes and does not tolerate variegation or bright colors. Only two shades can be used. So, the chandelier can be made in a basic white color. The second shade is soft pink, blue, lilac or muted yellow. They must be combined with other details in the interior.
- Lamps should be harmoniously combined with each other. It is important not only to choose the right ceiling lamps, but also to select other lighting fixtures for them. Don't forget to use floor lamps, table lamps and sconces.
- Lamps should be elegant. But they shouldn't be pretentious. It is important to choose modest models. It is important to think about how the lampshades will combine with the ceiling and other surfaces in the room. This will help maintain the harmony of the space.
- It is important to be guided by comfort and romance. The Provence style appeared in France. And this is a country of love and happy people. Therefore, it is important to create a feeling of celebration and happiness in the interior. Floral motifs, smooth transitions of lines and elaborate monograms - all this can be present on the lamps.
