The Designer’s Guide to Rechargeable Wall Lights in a Luxe Glam Reading Nook

Rechargeable wall lights make it possible to create a polished, wire free reading nook without calling an electrician or redecorating. They are particularly useful in alcoves, landings and bedroom corners where there is no convenient socket or switch. In this designer's guide we explain why rechargeable fittings suit a luxe glam scheme, and how to choose the right finish, shape and light direction for comfortable reading. We cover the details that matter before you buy, including lumen output, colour temperature, dimming, battery life and charging methods such as magnetic mounts. You will also learn where to position the light for the most flattering, useful glow, and how to build the rest of the nook with a velvet chaise or tub chair, a mirrored or marble side table and soft textiles. Finally, we look at wall colours that make gold fittings glow and how to care for rechargeable lights over time....
