How to Use Glass Wall Lights to Add Character to a Detached Family Home
Glass wall lights are a simple way to add character to the generous walls of a detached family home. Wide landings, tall stairwells and long living rooms can feel plain, and glass brings texture, colour and reflection without adding clutter. In this guide we explain what each type of glass does, from soft opal and shimmering ribbed glass to moody smoked, clear and handblown coloured shades. We then walk through the house room by room, with advice on lighting staircases safely, framing landing windows, flanking a fireplace, defining a dining area under high ceilings and choosing gentle bedside lights for adults and children. You will also learn how to repeat one glass type or colour through several rooms to create a quiet thread that connects the home, how to match glass styles to Victorian, 1930s, mid century and new build houses, and what to check for weight, fixings, cleaning and bulbs....
