wall lights for tv room

5 years ago

we have a room which we would like to create as a little cozy tv room.

we need to add wall lights which will be on the side of the tv...we do regret this decision but its too late to hide the wires now.

do you think these would work or can anyone suggest any others?

Thanks

We have wall lights either side of our TV (not by choice as they were here when we moved in) and we changed the fittings to these pictured below. The shades are preferable for me because I personally wouldn't want a light where I could see the bulb because I feel it would be uncomfortably bright for my eyes to have that right next to the TV. These particular lights have individual switches on them as well if for some reason you ever wanted just one of them on. We find this handy as we have more wall lights on the wall opposite the TV and sometimes one of them reflects on the screen so we just switch that one light off.

Given that these lights are quite far apart, one is close to the corner of the room and there is the danger they could look dwarfed against a big tv I would be looking if for something tall and thin instead.

I would also point out that if you really don’t like the wall light idea the cost of removing the wires and making good will probably be what you would be paying for the light fittings.

Bear in mind that if you want this room to be cozy the ceiling spotlights won’t do that and you will need additional eye level lighting such as table lights.

Having said all the above, we would also consider not such a dark shade. Just can't decide on the color.

My advice is: knock down half the height of the bar counter to put the tv.

Hi Alison, Do you have any photos of the room that could help to visualise the space? Also what sort of style are you after? Traditional or contemporary? Lamps with fabric shades are great for adding extra ambience without without creating any reflections and looking too bold. Or you could consider something more decorative for the side table, I'd suggest to go with frosted or matt glass to defuse the light and create a soft glow. Here are just few options to consider, for more ideas and products you can visit our website. These would add light and look great as a decorative element. Large Jug Painted Glass Vase Table Lamp - Blue Small Globe Frosted Glass Vase Table Lamp - White 1 Light Twisted Table Lamp with Cream Shade - Antique Brass is a more traditional option. You could match it up with the 1 Light Traditional Style Floor Lamp with Natural Coloured Shade - Antique Brass Maybe consider the floor lamp at the side of TV or behind it and then use the table lamp somewhere else in the room for a united look. Hope this helps. If you have any questions feel free to contact us by emailing customerservice@litecraft.co.uk or by calling 0161 359 4777 Kind Regards Litecraft Team

In my opinion you should not straighten that wall- unless you get a striped carpet you will probably never notice it. I think a corner sofa is too big for this room and you would be better finding two sofas- I would look to find one that was 2.1m long and another that was about 1.5m. I think you should also be able to find plenty of choice that is only 90cm deep. To get a comfortable viewing angle on the TV I would put the TV on a bracket that hinges outward meaning you can store the TV flat against the wall opposite the window, or move it into the corner to suit both sofas. This would mean that the aerial and sockets need to be on the wall opposite the window, at the height of your eyes when sat down. And I would put the wires about 60cm from the corner if you are getting a 42” TV which would probably be as big as you could possibly consider for this space.

I really believe that wall lights would definitely work in your home. We have a large range of wall lights that we sell, including a very similar one to what you have left a picture of.

I will tag the light (here)
