Why wall sconces are so versatile: sconces help soften a room by adding light at eye level, reducing harsh shadows created by overhead lighting alone. They’re commonly used to highlight architectural features, frame mirrors, or create a welcoming glow in transitional spaces.
Styles and finishes: our collection includes modern, traditional, transitional, and minimalist wall sconces in popular finishes like matte black, satin nickel, polished chrome, brushed brass, and oil rubbed bronze. This makes it easy to coordinate with your existing hardware, faucets, and other lighting fixtures.
Planning tips: wall sconces are often installed in pairs for balance — such as on each side of a mirror or bed — or spaced evenly down a hallway. When layered with ceiling lights or lamps, they create a flexible, well-balanced lighting plan.
Where should wall sconces be installed?
Wall sconces are commonly installed beside bathroom mirrors, along hallways, near entryways, beside beds or seating areas, above staircases, or next to artwork. They provide soft, directional lighting without using floor space.
Can wall sconces provide enough light on their own?
Wall sconces are typically used as accent or supplemental lighting. In smaller spaces like hallways or powder rooms, they may provide sufficient illumination, but they’re usually combined with ceiling fixtures for balanced lighting.
Are wall sconces suitable for bathrooms?
Yes. Many wall sconces are designed for use near vanities or mirrors. For bathroom installations, choose sconces rated for damp locations to ensure safe performance in humid environments.
How do I choose the right finish for wall sconces?
Select a finish that complements your existing faucets, cabinet hardware, and lighting. Popular choices include matte black, satin nickel, chrome, brushed brass, and oil rubbed bronze for a cohesive look.
