Help with wall lights
Still working on the hall! I like the lantern style light in the hallway but don't like the matching wall lights. They look a bit 80s to me. Can anyone suggest something which will look good with the existing ceiling light and also not stick out too far as the ceiling is low in this bit and the corridor is narrow. Thank you.

Comments (8)Does it supply sufficient light for reading, if indeed you plan to use it for reading? I like the looks of it but please check out how much light it provides if you want to read in bed. Thanks for the explanation of a bed valance. In the US we usually refer to it as a duster or bed skirt....See MoreHelp sourcing Exterior Wall Lights - Brass

Comments (9)Hi Nic, As kiki indicates, having just a light above will potentially cause shadows, and the uneveness of the light can be problematic for some. to opt for a mirror which already has lighting built in (either top & bottom, both sides or all round) is preferable - and needn't break the bank. If you wanted to spend a little more, then we would recommend HiB mirrors - excellent quality, and the lighting is top notch, with some mirrors allowing you to vary the light from "cool" through to "warm". While some look "bathroomy", not all do! For a simpler, less expensive unit, I'd recommend the Pura Luna - it is by far our best selling mirror, and comes in a variety of sizes. List price starts at £240 (though you can usually find them well discounted!), and they're easy to install. The lights top & bottom are very subtle, so do not look too bathroomy, especially when unlit If you still prefer a retro-fit light over your mirror, then check out websites for Sensio and Sycamore lighting - should find some nice options there too.

Comments (11)I'm on a tight budget too. I went for a second hand chandelier bought for (relative) buttons off Shpock (one of those selling apps you can put on your phone). I also got four LED ceiling spotlights. Two in front of the coojercand two in front of the sink. The electrician still has to install a dimmer unit for the chandelier. This will give me task and mood lighting which as I will be eating in the new kitchen (it's in the old dining room), I thought would be fun. Photo below. The house is a work in progress btw! Cost wise I got it as part of a rewire so can't say exactly but I reckon about £200 for labour for all the lights, plus the cost of the chandelier....See Morejbtanyderi

5 years agoI like them all, otherwise I wouldn't have suggested them, but if you love the first one: you can mix metals. And because it's different from the chandelier, it wouldn't look like a mismatch, I think. Also, it looks like the silver has a bit of a golden shine to it, so it's not totally different. Fingers crossed ;-) Do measure before you buy something.

5 years agoSorry, just one more question! Nearly there now but there is a brass chandelier halfway up the stairs. I like this and I was replacing the ufo style lights on the upper landing with downlighters. This was fine on the side hallway (beyond the arches in the pictures) but at the top of the stairs the ceiling is lathe and plaster and the electrician can't put downlighters in. I was thinking of putting something similar to the picture below but would that look odd so close to the chandelier?

5 years agoOr this one. Sorry, overload of options? :-) But I do like this one too. And it also comes in a version with three lights https://www.oceanlighting.co.uk/pendant-lights-c22/endon-69784-miele-1-light-ceiling-pendant-antique-brass-p31632

Oh my goodness, can't believe how old this post is! I have finally finished the hall. I really, really love the lights that I bought and were recommended by Carolina - thank you again. They make me very happy every time I walk past. Is that sad? I thought I'd share how the hallway is looking, 9 months on. I was also going to put up the honeycomb light on the stairs but it was proving to be a problem for the electrician so I got him to put it up in the kid's playroom instead and I love that one too.Excuse the 2 blown bulbs on the light on the stairs, they're a nightmare to change and I've not plucked up the courage to balance on the bannisters again...
