How To Use Wall Lights To Elevate Your Home Design
By Zephyr and Stone
Whether a complete home decor overhaul is on the cards, or you’re just updating one room, there are so many different ways to elevate your home interior design and create that effortless, interior-designed look… and it doesn’t have to mean blowing your budget. In fact, wall decor like wall lights is one of the easiest ways to add style and impact to a space.
Wall lights are also referred to as wall sconces, and work beautifully with a wide range of home designs and styles. They’re usually small in size in proportion to a wall, meaning they can sit seamlessly alongside artwork or integrated cabinetry without dominating a space. Wall lights provide stunning ambient lighting and are equally effective installed both indoors and out!
We recently discovered We Ponder — a beautiful new range of ceramic wall lights, designed and curated by interior designer, Rose Kiselev. Every piece is handmade in Tasmania by a local ceramicist with Master Japanese Pottery training; to create a timeless range of indoor and outdoor wall lights to suit any interior style. We Ponder is part of Z+S Perks which means you can SAVE 10% with code ZS10 at your We Ponder checkout. Here are some of our favourite wall lights…

Available in ‘Tall’, ‘Short’, and an Exterior Light option, the Day Ceramic Wall Light is the perfect addition to your bathroom, bedroom decor, entry, and pretty much any space that could benefit from some extra style! It features a hand-carved, inverted corduroy pattern on the lower third, and is finished in an eggshell low-sheen glaze, to create the perfect neutral colour tones. The Day Ceramic Wall Light pairs beautifully with classic and contemporary home design and earthy colour tones, greys, beige and timber - for a calming and timeless aesthetic.
Dawn Ceramic Wall Light
Looking for something minimal or contemporary? The simple, tubular design of the Dawn Ceramic Wall Light makes it extremely versatile, suiting a range of interior styles. It’s sleek, organic shape directs light down, paired with a soft upward glow. The smooth ceramic glaze and natural hand-made finish elevates any room — by day and night.
Cloud Ceramic Wall Light
Wall lights are the perfect lighting feature for creating warmth in your home. Whether you include one next to an armchair to create a reading nook, in the kitchen so that overhead lights can be turned off or dimmed at night, or by your sofa or bedside - working or resting in the glow of a wall light can add ambience and calm to everyday tasks. The Cloud Ceramic Wall Light’s beautiful, curved pattern is perfect for adding an organic element that breaks up straight lines. Its shape creates an immediate focal and talking point and the eggshell white glaze provides the perfect neutral tones for pairing with a range of wall colours.
Nudie Ceramic Wall Light
If you’re looking to add a touch of nature and natural elements to your space, the Nudie Ceramic Wall Light has a textured aesthetic that will do just that! It has a rustic, tactile, unglazed finish, and beautiful, earthy clay colour tone, that would pair perfectly with nature-inspired colours and natural materials like timber, stone, leather, wool and rattan.
Freckles Ceramic Wall Light
The We Ponder Freckles Ceramic Wall Light is crafted using a secret formula glaze to produce a delicate freckle pattern, just like the name suggests! It’s the ultimate creator of warmth, with a downward light and soft upwards glow, that work beautifully to provide ample light at your bedside, along a hallway and throughout your home.
