Three layers of light, and the one most homes skip.
Every finished room is lit three times. The ceiling lights the room. The lamp lights the task. And the wall — the layer designers add first and most houses never get — lights the walls themselves, so a bedroom reads as a room after dark and a corridor reads like a hotel’s rather than a tunnel.
American houses were wired for lamps on tables: one outlet per wall, usually behind the dresser. So the wall layer was skipped, and rooms end up lit from the ceiling alone — flat by day, harsh by night.
Why we make one kind of fixture
Frilys makes wall sconces and nothing else: four shapes for four walls — the bedside, the print, the hallway, the corner. Each one runs on a battery and mounts on a magnetic plate, so the composition decides where the light goes, not the wiring. You already own the ceiling light and the table lamp. This is the layer in between.
The numbers we mount by
- Height. Bedside: 30–36 in. above the mattress. Hallway: 60–66 in. from the floor to center. A picture light: 6–7 in. above the frame.
- Color. 2700 K, every fixture. Anything cooler reads as an office.
- Pairs. One sconce is a lamp; two make a wall. Level, 8–10 ft apart in a hall. Rooms are lit in threes.
What we don’t promise
We don’t publish battery runtime until we have measured it ourselves. We don’t promise a delivery date — orders leave in 1–2 days, travel 7–12 days, and are tracked the whole way. The rooms you see here are staged to the numbers above; as customers send us their walls, those will take their place.
Thirty nights
Light is judged in the evening, over weeks, not in a showroom. Live with it for thirty nights. If the room isn’t better, send it back for the full purchase price.
