Paola 2 Light Wall Light With Switch - Gold Painted With Cream Shades

The Paola is a 2 light wall light with an integrated switch, combining a gold painted metal frame with two cream fabric shades and an optional amber glass droplet hanging from a decorative ring detail. Each arm curves upward from the oval backplate, supporting an E14 bulb fitting beneath a tapered cream shade that diffuses light softly across the wall and into the room.

Designed for bedrooms where bedside reading light is needed without a separate table lamp, hallways requiring ambient lighting with local control, and living rooms where traditional wall sconces add warmth to alcoves or chimney breast positions. The integrated switch sits on the backplate, allowing the light to be controlled at the fitting itself rather than at a wall switch across the room. The 210mm projection from the wall and 340mm height suit standard UK wall heights of 2.4m without overwhelming narrower hallways.

The gold painted finish provides a warm metallic tone that pairs with brass door furniture, traditional radiators and warm-toned timber floors without the higher cost of solid brass construction. The cream fabric shades soften the light output and reduce glare, making the fitting comfortable for use in bedrooms and living spaces where harsh downlight would be intrusive. The optional amber glass droplet adds a decorative accent when the light is off and catches light when the bulbs are on, but can be removed during installation if a simpler profile is preferred.

What bulbs does the Paola take?

The Paola takes two E14 small Edison screw bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with 4-6W LED candle bulbs in 2700K-3000K warm white for bedroom and living room use. Maximum wattage per bulb depends on the specific lamp chosen.

Is the Paola dimmable?

Yes, when fitted with dimmable E14 bulbs. The dimmer switch must be installed at the wall circuit, not on the integrated switch at the fitting itself, which acts as an on/off control only.

Can the amber droplet be removed?

Yes. The amber glass droplet is optional and hangs from a ring detail on the frame. It can be left off during installation if a simpler profile is preferred, or removed later without affecting the function of the light.

What height should it be installed at?

For bedside use, the centre of the backplate typically sits 1.2-1.5m from the floor, positioning the switch within reach from a seated position on the bed. For hallway or living room use, 1.5-1.8m is common, depending on the room's proportions and surrounding furniture.
