Statement Wall Lights: Bold Ideas for a Burgundy Home Office

Burgundy walls give a home office warmth and focus, and statement wall lights are what keep that depth from becoming gloomy. A deep red room absorbs a great deal of light, so the fittings you choose need to work harder than they would against white paint, acting as both a light source and a design feature. In this guide we share seven bold ideas, from sculptural brass and oversized opal globes to smoked glass, swing arm task lights, linear picture lights, graphic black fittings and tonal fabric shades. We explain how to place wall lights around a desk to reduce glare and eye strain, how to light yourself well for video calls and which furniture, woods and leathers suit a burgundy scheme. You will also find advice on colour temperature and brightness for dark walls, how to balance bold colour with a calm working atmosphere and how to adapt these ideas for box rooms, alcoves and rooms with sloping ceilings....
