Wall lights have long been loved for both their practicality and their aesthetic. They are an amazing way to enhance the ambience of a room. Or to illuminate dark corners, narrow spaces, or special features. And while table or floor lamps can do some of that, they can’t help but take up space. With wall lights, you have no footprint to speak of, so they work practically anywhere… Anywhere, that is, that you have the relevant wiring.
But if you don’t already have wall lights fitted in your home, installation can be costly, disruptive, and messy. For many, it’s just not worth the effort or expense. But that is where plug in wall lights come in!
Why Plug In Wall Lights Are a New Interiors Must-Have
They’re convenient
The very best thing about plug in wall lights is that they can go anywhere that you have a plug socket. And while most are designed to be wall-mounted (hence the name!), if you’re looking for really low-impact lighting, you can get a lamp like the Nordlux Cyclone. Coming complete with a clamp, you can place it practically anywhere it’s needed. On a bookcase, noticeboard, or the back of an unused ladderback chair. These are a particularly useful option for rental properties where you might not want to make your mark on the walls.
They’re useful
The problem with the modern home is that we’ve all go so much stuff and so little space. We’ve already mentioned the low footprint of wall lights. Plug in versions, like this lovely antique brass light, carry exactly the same advantages. Only with external wiring. Which is why they’re becoming increasingly popular around all areas of the home. From dining rooms to bedrooms, with many people using them as bedside lights.
They look great
Plug in wall lights can be as decorative as they are useful. When you take a design like the Nordlux Trio, you not only have a useable light, you have a piece of wall art. There’s something almost fan-like in the concertinaed circle. It draws the eye and adorns the room.
They’re versatile
Just like traditional wall lights, plug in wall lights come in many styles. You can go for fixed designs, like the Nordlux Josefine, with its steampunky vibe. Or you can go for adjustable styles, like the Drop or Alanis, which allow you to focus the light where you need it most at any given time.
They don’t just work on walls
While clamp lights like the Nordlux Porter are the easiest plug in wall lights to position, there are other options if you don’t want to mark the walls. If you have a tall bookcase, a lamp like the Vanilla could be easily attached to the flat side panel. Giving you lighting where you need it, while helping to disguise the cable.
Plug in wall lights are one of those things that make you wonder why it took so long for them to be invented. They’re simple, efficient, convenient, and clever. And they will make the perfect addition to almost any room.
