A decorative wall light is a visually striking fixture that sets the tone of the space, brings personality to an otherwise plain space, and ties in the design and style with the rest of the décor. Decorative wall lights differentiate themselves from technical or architectural lighting in that they are designed to be an ornamental element of the interior. The statement piece draws attention to itself and reinforces the theme and style of the space. Decorative lighting can also help to create a sense of human scale and contribute a feeling of hospitality, intimacy and comfort. A stunning light fixture can embellish the décor in its own right and make a visual statement.
Decorative lighting is more about style than function. It serves no purpose other than to enhance the look of the space, add sparkle to a room, or be a conversation piece as a design element. However, the best decorative light fixtures will be the perfect marriage of form and function. Apart from the look of the fixture, the showpiece of decorative sentiment can incorporate various layers of light to create a fully usable, adaptive space. Decorative wall lights are used to fill in unpleasant shadows created by overhead light fixtures such as ceiling lights, pendants or chandeliers. They are also used as accent pieces to place visual emphasis on whatever deserves to be noticed.
