Today's wall sconces come in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and styles. For any room with lighting needs, wall sconces can help. Sconces specialize in bringing accent lighting to rooms such as living rooms and can also be the main light source in entryways or hallways. The extra layer of light ensures the room has a full amount from each angle, allowing every object the chance to be illuminated and the room to have multiple options for lighting.

Wall Sconces in the Modern Home

Today's wall sconces come in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and styles. Wall sconces work well in entryways, foyers, hallways, and other small spaces where other lighting fixtures can't fit. For entryways and foyers, wall sconces can bring a welcome dose of light while announcing the style of the home to those who enter. In hallways, wall sconces can light the way, creating a moody trail of light that guides along to each room.

Wall sconces can provide uplight, downlight, or both. With this in mind, bedroom wall sconces can create a potentially moody ambiance that complements the surrounding space.

Frequently Asked Questions about Indoor Wall Sconces

What is a wall sconce?

In the simplest of terms, a wall sconce is a light fixture that hangs on a wall. A sconce can have any number of bulbs and some sconces can double as a flush mount, mounting to either the wall or the ceiling. Wall sconces come in all shapes, sizes, and styles, making an option available for all types of homes.

How high should a wall sconce hang?

Although houses, rooms, and personal preferences differ, wall sconces as a general rule of thumb should be placed on the wall between 60-72 inches. For higher ceilings, consider a height minimum of 66 inches. This will prevent the light bulbs in the sconces from accidentally aligning with anyone's eye line. Wherever they are mounted, make sure they don't align with the window frame height — the sconces should be lower than the window. If multiple sconces are in the room, make sure there is at least 6 feet of space between them and, as a final rule, sconces should be at least 6 inches from doors or window frames.
