Wall Lamps

Wall lamps free up the nightstand and the floor. A pair of swing-arm lamps beside the bed replaces two table lamps and leaves the surface clear, while picture lights and up-down sconces add layers of light that a single ceiling fixture cannot manage. Plug-in models install with two screws and an outlet, no electrician required.

Mount bedside lamps so the shade sits just above shoulder height when you are sitting up. For placement in the rest of the house, our room-by-room guide to lighting your home has the details.
