Choosing your light, without getting it wrong.
Wall or pendant light, material, room, fitting height: everything you need to know in 3 minutes.
01 The type
Wall light or pendant light? It all depends on the role.
The wall light
For atmosphere
- Soft light, directed at the wall
- Perfect at the head of the bed, in a hallway, living room
- Takes up no floor space
The pendant light
For the focal point
- Lights a specific area, from above
- Ideal above a table or a kitchen island
- Becomes the centrepiece of the decor
Our tip The most beautiful rooms mix both: a pendant light to light the room, wall lights for evening atmosphere.
02 The material
The material sets the mood.
Same bulb, same room: a stone lamp and a metal lamp give a completely different light.

04 Fitting
The right heights, at a glance.
Simple guidelines used by decorators. Adapt them to your room and the height of your furniture.
1,60 mWall light in the living room or a hallwayBetween 1.60 and 1.80 m from the floor: the light shines above eye level, without glare.
30 cmWall light at the head of the bedAbout 30 to 40 cm above the mattress, slightly off-centre from the middle of the pillow.
75 cmPendant light above a tableBetween 70 and 80 cm above the tabletop: the table is lit and faces are not hidden.
2 mPendant light in a passagewayKeep at least 2 m between the floor and the bottom of the pendant light so you can move around without bumping into it.
