Wall lamp, table lamp, pendant lamp: what are the differences and when should you use them?
In the world of interior design, the choice of lighting is essential to create a harmonious and functional atmosphere.
Among the available options, wall lamps, table lamps, and pendant lights stand out due to their specific characteristics and uses. Understanding their differences allows you to optimize the lighting in each space of your home.
1. Wall lamp: discreet and space-saving

They are ideal for:
-
Highlight a decorative element (painting, mirror)
-
Lighting passageways such as corridors
-
Providing supplemental lighting in bedrooms or living rooms
Available in a variety of styles and materials, wall lamps can also serve as decorative elements in their own right.

Table lamps are light fixtures placed on surfaces such as bedside tables, desks or consoles.
They provide ideal supplemental lighting for:
-
Create a warm atmosphere in the living room
-
Provide functional lighting for reading or work
-
Add a decorative touch to a room
Thanks to their mobility, they can be easily moved according to needs and desires.
3. Pendant light: main lighting and design
Pendant lights are light fixtures suspended from the ceiling, often used as the main source of light in a room.
They are particularly suitable for:
-
Lighting a dining table or kitchen island
-
Add a touch of design to the living room or entrance
-
Create a focal point in a room through their visual presence
Available in various shapes, sizes and materials, pendant lights allow you to personalize your lighting according to your desired decorating style.
