Buying Guide

What type of corner wall light will give me the most light?

The type of corner wall light that gives you the most light are those that rely on LED bulbs: this is particularly important when it comes to corner wall lights since the spot where two walls meet is usually the darkest part of a room.

As for the style of the actual fixture, it depends on what type of effect you’re trying to achieve: uplights can create a bright accent, whereas downlights give you more light below for a more practical purpose.

If you want to amplify the lighting element even further, choose some corner wall lights with a pale or see-through shade that lets the light through.

What types of corner wall lights are there?

Corner wall lights are available in a variety of types and styles to suit every personal preference and interior decor style. Wall lights are available with different power sources, which may affect where you place them and vice versa.

And whether you opt for hardwired, battery-operated, or plug-in corner wall lights will determine the overall look of the lights.

The hardwired option is most common as it offers a polished look. Plug-in lights offer the versatility of being place near any plug-point, and battery-operated wall lights are portable, while you are not limited to placing them near a power outlet, nor are you limited to the layout of your home's electrical system.

Once you've figured out the power source that is best for you, there are various styles of corner wall lights to choose from, such as contemporary, Scandinavian, and mid-century modern styles.

Where to use corner wall lights?

Corner wall lights may be used in any area of the home that is dark and requires additional lighting. Alternatively, they are a popular option for areas of the home that require unobtrusive lighting.

These corner wall lights are readily available in various styles and types to suit every interior decorating style and personal preference. So feel free to install them in your dim entryways, foyers, dining, and living areas or use them to light up decorative floating shelves in selected corners of your rooms.
