Lighting plays a very important role in the decoration of an apartment. With its help, you can focus on various areas in the room, create a special atmosphere of comfort and tranquility in the room. Modern wall lights are great for this. In store catalogs, you will find a huge selection of sconces, which are made in different styles, colors and shapes. Recently, retro bras have gained particular popularity. We will talk about them in detail in today's article.

No wonder they say: everything new is well forgotten old. And today the vintage style penetrates into all spheres of human life. The production of wall lamps was no exception. Consider several main types of vintage-style sconces, and also list their characteristic features:

• Oil lamps. If you want to add a special twist to the interior of your home, be sure to pay attention to this version of the lamp. Vintage lamps only outwardly resemble real oil lamps. Modern lamps work from ordinary bulbs, so you will definitely not have any problems with their use. At the same time, such antique sconces look very impressive and beautiful.
• Metal sconces. Massive cast-iron, iron, aluminum wall lamps will add a special chic to the room. They can be made in both completely simple and intricate forms. Moreover, many shops offer their customers lamps made of silver, brass, bronze and even gilded sconces.

• Chandelier... A wall lamp in the form of a real candelabrum or candlestick is just a godsend for lovers of antiquity. Modern manufacturers supplement appliances with special bulbs that are very similar to candles. Some of them even imitate the movement of a flame from the wind. This model of the lamp will adorn any interior.

We have already said above that for the manufacture of such lighting fixtures, manufacturers choose different types of metal. Now let's look at what other materials are in demand for creating vintage lamps:

• Wood... This natural material is perfect for any interior. It is very strong, durable, resistant to mechanical damage. Antique sconces made of natural wood look very beautiful and natural. Such lamps will add warmth and comfort to your interior.

• Glass... Glass wall lamps look incredibly beautiful and elegant. Murano glass products are especially popular with buyers, which are distinguished by the uniqueness of their overflows, strength and durability. Also, vintage sconces are quite common, for the decoration of which mosaic is used.

• Plastic... Since plastic products are widely available and very low cost, they are common even in the manufacture of antique sconces. Modern synthetic materials are very light and strong. They successfully imitate any natural finish. At the same time, plastic sconces do not need special care.

The list of materials from which retro-style wall lamps are made is endless. There are models complemented by elements of crystal, gold, rhinestones, forging, precious metals and others. The choice of a particular model depends solely on your preferences and the size of the wallet.

If you think that retro-style sconces look organically exclusively in the appropriate room design, then this is not entirely true. Consider the most common space design options for which the following lamps are suitable:

• Loft... The popularity of this trend in the decoration of premises is growing every year. Loft is a very beautiful and modern style that will always be in demand. For such a design, retro-style wall lamps are the best fit. They will not only fit perfectly into the overall interior, but also competently highlight the features of the interior decoration. For the loft style, bronze, forged, metal antique sconces are ideal.

• Provence... For such a light and graceful style, chandeliers and oil lamps are ideal. The main thing is that the devices are not made of very heavy and rough material. It is also very important that vintage sconces match the color of the room and are not too dark.
• Baroque... This luxurious and magnificent style is perfectly emphasized by antique lamps. They can be made in the form of bizarre figures, as well as supplemented with various elements: precious stones, graceful figurines, and so on.

Vintage sconces can be a great addition to the overall interior or be a real decoration of the room. Most importantly, always make sure that the color, size and material for the manufacture of the lamp are combined with the general atmosphere in the room.
