Where Should A Stairwell Light Hang

Unique spaces need unique lights, and as a stairwell by design is a unique shape designed to be travelled through, stairwell lights tend to be particularly unique and stand out.
There are some exceptionally unique light pieces you can choose for your stairwell to take advantage of the unique shape and height of stairwells. When choosing a stairwell light, be sure to follow these tips and you will have a safe and beautiful space.
Illuminate From Top To Bottom
Stairwells benefit from several potential light solutions, from wall sconces to step lights to various kinds of chandeliers and ceiling lamps, but the core principle at all times is that your stairs need to be well lit. Staircases can cause a trip and fall hazard, one that is magnified by not being lit. Make sure you have switches on every floor and any light you choose lights every floor. This is even more important in the case of stairwells that are more than two floors in height.
Watch Out For Glare
Whilst not having enough lighting is an issue, having too much glare when walking up or down the stairs can also cause a similar issue. Make sure that your lighting, whilst sufficient is not overly harsh.
Feel Free To Combine Lights
Outside of other room lights that coincidentally light part of the staircase, there is a range of lighting options, from practical to statement pieces that you can use. A range of sconces, recessed stairwell lights and a centrepiece chandelier will combine safety with beautiful design.
