How to Choose the Right Globe Wall Lights for Your Staircase
Staircases are often the most overlooked space when it comes to lighting, yet they need good, even light for safety as well as a welcoming feel. Globe wall lights are a lovely solution, spreading soft light across treads, walls and handrails while their rounded shapes soften the straight lines of a stair. In this guide we explain how to choose the right globe for your home, starting with safety essentials such as glare, clearance and switching from both ends of the flight. We compare globe sizes for narrow, standard and wide stairs, and look at how opal, frosted, smoked and clear glass each behave. You will learn how to mount lights along the pitch of the stairs, how to space them so their pools of light meet and where to add a fitting at turns and landings. We also cover matching styles to period and modern homes, choosing bulbs, working with wall colour and planning the hall and landing together....
