Home lighting is a very personal choice. Get the wrong thing, and it will colour the way you feel about a room. Niggling every time you see it. The problem is, there are so many different styles of lights to choose from. And amidst all the glittering designs, plaster wall lights are easily overlooked. This is why we think they are worth your consideration.
Four Reasons to Choose Plaster Wall Lights
Low key
Feature lighting has become a big deal in recent years. But… There are times when you want your lights just to be lights. You don’t want them to grab attention. You don’t want them to dominate the space. Plaster wall lights can practically camouflage themselves. When you take a light like the Astro Velo, you can mount it exactly as it is. Pristine white and perfect. Or, you can paint it. When you finish the light with same emulsion as the walls, it can all but disappear until the flick the switch. And if you fancy a change at some point in the future, you can simply add another coat.
Space saving
Wall lights work well in a range of scenarios. They can provide ambience in large spaces. Or illuminate dark nooks and corners. But in smaller rooms, you don’t necessarily want wall lights that will protrude. Plaster wall lights, like the Endon Eton, can have a really small footprint. Taking up a very small amount of space, while providing a useful level of light.
Versatile lighting
One of the best things about wall lights is that you can choose a model that does exactly what you want it to do. There are uplighters, like the Astro Parma. There are downlighters. Some lights, like the Milo, can be used for up and downlighting or switch between the two. While circular plaster wall lights, like the Astro Eclipse, completely live up to their name. Allowing you to produce exactly the light you need in any given space.
Cost efficiency
Contrary to popular belief, integrated wall lighting can be done on a budget. The Endon Pride light is less than £30. Of course, prices vary, according to the size of light fitting you choose. But if you shop around – and keep an eye on the clearance section – plaster wall lights can be a really cost-effective lighting solution.
Plaster wall lights are often underrated. They’re dismissed as the decorating fodder of hotels and other public spaces. But if used well, they can be beautifully architectural. Providing interest and style. Or, if your tastes lie that way, they can literally blend into their surroundings until you need them. Both pretty and practical, they save space and perform well. Which is why we think that they are home decorating staples.
