Wall Sconce

Ceiling lights give a room its overall glow. Wall sconces give a room its shape. Mounted at eye level or slightly above, sconces carry light to the places a ceiling fixture cannot reach. They live beside a bed, along a hallway, or next to a mirror, filling a room with a warmth that overhead tends to flatten. Shoppers who reach for wall lighting are usually past the pendant phase of a room and into the layering phase.

That layering is what good wall sconce lighting is designed to deliver. The better examples balance shade, scale, and finish so they read well in every light and date slowly as a room evolves. Some shoppers are flanking a bedroom headboard with a matched pair. Others are lining a long hallway, brightening a kitchen island, or finishing a powder room. What they all share is a wall that needs attention and a preference for fixtures that add accent lighting rather than filling the room like a spotlight.
