Black Wall Sconces for the Home
For a bold look upon the walls of the modern home, consider adding modern black wall sconces. When placed against the wall, the black coloring stands out, creating an interesting contrast with the surrounding space. Black fixtures and wall lights coordinate well with other home furnishings and come in every style and design.
Black sconces also work as outdoor wall lights to illuminate the patio, balcony, or another outside area. This additional illumination brings much-needed light to the dark outdoors during parties, casual social gatherings, or personal time.
Indoor Wall SconcesFrequently Asked Questions
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.
