Handmade Appeal with Mission and Craftsman Wall Sconces
Defined by sharp lines, high contrast, and a handmade appeal, mission-style and craftsman wall sconces are versatile fixtures that add style to the harder-to-light parts of the home. This bold style has been popular for decades, and whether that be because of its natural influences or uses of familiar materials and colors, these wall lights are here to stay.
Mission-style wall sconces work well in most spaces, but they really shine in the spots that are extra difficult to light. Wall sconces won’t take up any floor space, which often makes them the first choice for small-space lighting, and their obvious style impact is never overlooked. A craftsman wall sconce can also be used as outdoor wall lights, bringing new illumination to patios and balconies.
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.
