Illumination

When it comes to lighting a space, rooms usually need several layers of light, preferably through dimmers, in order to create a balance. One of these layers is task lighting, which is needed to illuminate the specific area used for a special activity such as reading, writing or grooming.
I have always loved swivel arm wall lights- they are flexible, classic, small-scale, and can be positioned wherever light is required, in any room of the house. I would like to share some images with you. Enjoy!
