Swing Arm Popular Styles
- Modern / Contemporary: If you prefer a sleek, contemporary look, a modern-styled swing arm wall sconce may be the perfect choice for you. This wall light emphasises more on its function and is fairly influenced by the minimalist design. Popular colours of modern- or contemporary-styled swing arm wall lights are neutral and metal tones, including but not limited to silver, chrome, grey, black, white, brown and taupe. The Primitive Swing Arm Antique Brass with Linen Shade Wall Light and Keil Antique Brass and Black with Linen Shade Swing Arm Wall Light are qualified examples of high-end modern or contemporary swing arm wall lights.
- Traditional: Traditional ones may look quite formal compared to modern swing arm wall lights. They tend to be more ornate and detailed, integrating more design elements. They work well in vintage-inspired spaces or formal solemn occasions. A noteworthy example of this style is the Traditional Swing Arm with Cream Pleated Shade Wall Light.
- Accordion: Many aren’t familiar with the term, but some accordion-style wall lights can also be considered swing arms. Named after the musical instrument, accordion-style wall lights are iconic for having an extendable zigzag arm structure. If you're interested in this design, take a look at Adjustable Extended Arm Wall Light.
- Country / Cottage: Famously known as the “shabby chic” style, country-styled wall lights are often influenced by the cottage-inspired designs - muted colours that depict well-worn ages, homey feel, and simple, honest aesthetics. They are often patronised in rural communities and have slowly extended their fame to urban homes in the previous years. Naturally, country or cottage-style swing arm wall lights are also popular choices for a wall fixture in interior spaces decorated under their limelight. If you’re looking for a swing arm wall light under this style, take a look at our Detroit Swing Arm Silver White Wall Lamp.
- Rustic: Although many often interchange the rustic and country styles, these two design aesthetics are different from each other. Rustic designs offer a more cabin-inspired look, emphasising natural and casual appearances, from the materials all the way to its finishes. If the country style is known as the “shabby chic”, the rustic style is called the “lumberjack chic.” To help you finalise if this style conforms to your preferences, see the following swing arm wall lights: Portland Single Swing Arm Wall Lamp, Boston Double Arm Library Brass Adjustable Rustic Wall Light, and Benton Swing Arm Antique Brass Wall Light.
Common Places for Swing Arm Wall Lights
- Above the bedside table / beside the bed's headboard: Swing arm wall lights are fashionable and functional additions to bedside spaces. It can act as a table lamp alternative, allowing you to free up the counter space on your bedside table. Furthermore, it can be used as a personal light that you can turn on at night when the main lighting is off and your spouse or roommate is already asleep.
- Next to a reading chair or writing desk: Use a swing arm wall light as a task light, providing enough brightness on the space as you read a book in your nook or work on your office table. Just make sure to adjust the arms so that you won't be much affected by the glare from the wall light's globe.
- Behind a sofa: You can use swing arm wall lights behind a couch for numerous reasons. If you intend to utilise the wall fixture as an accent light to convert the sofa as a focal point, try extending the arms and pointing the shade heads above the couch to make its features more visible. Be mindful of your swing arm wall lights' placements; don't fix it on positions that obstruct people's movements in the area. And as always, consider strategic places that won't introduce excessive glare when the swing arm wall lights are turned on.
- Over a bookcase, shelf, or artwork: Swing arm wall lights placed near racks and art pieces are often used as spotlights to highlight the important items, beautiful decors, or architectural elements near the area. On the other hand, having a wall light with an extended arm over a bookshelf allows you to shine light over the book titles, making it easier to see which books will you need for your next reading activity.
- Above the kitchen counter: Just like how a swing arm wall light can be used as a task light to help you see what you read or write clearly, swing arm wall lights on kitchen counters can be used as additional localised lighting when cooking or chopping produce. If you have a plain kitchen, a decorative swing arm wall light can also double as the "spicy ingredient" that can elevate the "taste" of your kitchen's style.
