Glass creates a softer quality of light than a metal shade alone and introduces visual interest without being ornamental. The curved form means light spreads more gently around the room rather than creating sharp pools or shadows. A glass bedside wall light works equally well in traditional or contemporary spaces depending on the metalwork supporting it. The transparency also means you can see the bulb and filament which adds a modern industrial quality if that is your thing. These are the bedside wall lights that give you softer light and visual depth without compromising on the clean lines your bedroom needs.
