Oriental wall lights : faites le bon choix

A ray of oriental light transforms a wall into a true work of art.

Oriental wall lights are the ideal choice for anyone seeking to combine artisanal beauty with practical illumination. Inspired by Moroccan, Turkish or Persian traditions, these wall lights stand out with their intricate cut-outs, geometric or floral motifs, and finishes in brass, copper or wrought iron. Sizes range from compact 20 cm models, perfect for a hallway, to statement pieces of 40 to 60 cm that enhance a lounge or entrance. Oriental wall lights provide softly diffused, often warm lighting (colour temperature between 2200 and 3000 K), creating beautiful shadow patterns on the wall. Install on their own, as a pair or in a series, to shape the room and highlight architectural details.

Which materials and finishes for oriental wall lights?

Brass: Hammered or engraved brass remains the benchmark for authentic oriental wall lights. Its golden patina, sometimes aged, captures and reflects light gently. Solid brass styles typically weigh 1.2 to 2.5 kg depending on size and need a sturdy wall fitting.

Wrought iron: More affordable, wrought iron makes possible complex openwork designs. Available finishes include matt black, bronze, or aged silver. With a thickness of 2 to 4 mm for strength, remember to choose a rust-resistant treatment if using in humid rooms.

Coloured glass: Some designs feature stained glass or hand-blown glass cabochons for a mosaic effect. The tinted glass softens the glow and adds warmth. For perfect harmony, pair a glass wall light with light walls or dark timber accents.

Copper: Often with a hammered finish, copper brings a more contemporary touch to oriental wall lights. It develops a natural patina over time. A 30 cm copper light typically weighs around 1.5 kg.

Which oriental wall light for each room?

Your choice depends on the size of the area and the intended use. In narrow corridors (less than 1.2 m wide), opt for a compact model (20-25 cm diameter) with an LED bulb of 5-7 W (400-600 lumens). In the living or dining room, a larger 35-50 cm wall light with a 10-12 W bulb (800-1000 lumens) creates a decorative focal point without glare. Install at a height of 1.6 to 1.8 m from the floor so the light is at eye level and won't block walkways.

In the bedroom, oriental wall lights work as bedside lighting or for atmosphere. Choose a warm colour temperature (2700 K) and a moderate brightness (5-8 W). For bathrooms, check the protection rating: IP44 or above is needed if installed within 60 cm of water sources. To bring the look together, coordinate an oriental bedroom wall light with natural fabrics or Berber rugs.

In an entrance, an oriental wall light is both a guiding feature and a decorative signature. An openwork 30 cm model set at 1.7 m is enough to welcome guests with an inviting glow. For spacious rooms, use several lights in different sizes and patterns for a lively effect.

How to match oriental wall lights with other lighting?

Oriental wall lights pair beautifully with openwork metal pendant lights or coloured glass ceiling lights. To create a coordinated look, match the finishes (gold, bronze, black) and use different heights. A living room with both oriental wall lights and a glass

In the dining area, combining an oriental wall light with an antique pendant light brings an exotic, authentic spirit. For a more modern effect, pair with designer wall lights in simple shapes and play on the contrast of tradition and contemporary style.

For care, dust oriental wall lights regularly with a soft brush, especially if the design is pierced. Avoid abrasive cleaners on brass or copper: a lightly dampened microfibre cloth will preserve the finish.
