Design Tips:
- Choose swing arm wall lamps for a small bedroom for one or both sides of the bed to save on space.
- It’s important not to install a swing arm lamp on the wall too high nor too low. A good rule is to hang the lamp so that the bottom of the shade is at eye level of the person who is seated.
- Decorate with a swing arm wall lamp that can provide you with different light levels to suit your needs no matter where it’s installed.
A swing arm wall lamp is a type of wall sconce with a movable arm that pivots and swings in different positions. Being able to move the arm allows you to move the light to away or towards you as needed. It’s a wonderful way to provide extra light for tasks such as reading and writing.
Swing arm wall lamps are generally one-light fixtures.
