Rustic Charm of Farmhouse Indoor Wall Sconces
Farmhouse wall sconces do more than just provide light; they also help to beautify the home. Even if additional light is not needed in a particular area, farmhouse wall lights act as standalone pieces of decor. Modern farmhouse sconces include those that utilize natural wood, leather, and stone to those that take the rustic style less literally, using aged finishes and other antique touches.
Farmhouse lights look great throughout the home, from foyer lighting in an entryway to pendant lighting in a main social area. A farmhouse sconce indoors creates a warm, welcoming feeling for visitors. Try placing one on each side of the decor on an entryway table for a complete welcome station. These sconces can also be used as an outdoor wall light for illuminating a balcony, patio, or other outdoor social gathering space.
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.
