Nordic Cream Ceramic Wall Lamp | Vintage Style Sconce For Bedrooms, Halls and Landing Walls

Ceramic is an unusual material for a wall light and it behaves differently from metal or glass. It is opaque, so all the light exits at the openings rather than through the body, and it holds a soft matte surface that neither reflects a highlight nor looks plastic, which is the trap most cream coloured fittings fall into.

Cream rather than white is the other deliberate choice. Pure white on a wall painted anything other than pure white looks like a mismatch, and most walls are not pure white. A warm cream sits comfortably against magnolia, off white, plaster pink, and the greys most homes actually use. Hold it against your wall colour before committing to several, since cream against a cool grey can read yellow rather than warm. Dust the ceramic with a dry cloth rather than a damp one, since glaze crazing traps moisture at the surface and marks it over time.

It suits bedrooms, hallways, landings, and living rooms. Ceramic is brittle, so handle it carefully during installation and do not overtighten fixings against the body. Dust with a soft dry cloth. Electrical installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician in line with local wiring regulations. Buy it now.
