UL ListedWhy We Love Mid-Century Modern Wall Sconces
Characterized by clean lines, inspired by a cherished past, and created through the clever use of materials, this collection of mid-century wall lights are a nod to the spirit of innovation that took hold in post-war America and played out through designs both simple and luxurious, intuitive and edgy, and practical and versatile. Decidedly un-fussy, these wall lamp designs lend themselves to updating and streamlining your decor while evoking the warmth and grace of mid-century life.
Where Retro Wall Lights Work Best
Wall lighting is an ideal option for spaces where you need to complement existing light from a chandelier, pendant or flush mount light fixture. These retro wall lights make their presence known in modern kitchens and dining rooms by adding decorative character and rounding out the lighting scheme of the space, and they can be especially decorative and mood-enhancing when placed on a dimmer switch. In entryways and foyer areas, a mid-century sconce can provide inviting light and you'll love putting a pair of wall lamps on either side of the bed for task-specific lighting or general light. Finally, consider adding some 1950s flare to your hallway with any of these wall-mounted fixtures.
Mid-Century Wall Sconces For Every Style
We love the bold, organic shapes and clever details of wall lights that shake up our design sensibilities and awaken new possibilities in rooms that have grown weary. Included in this assortment of decorative wall lamps and sconces are pieces from some of the foremost luminaries in the world of mid-century modern and retro-inspired lighting. Stark and symmetrical brass pieces from Jonathan Adler ramp up the drama in any space, while the playful, opulent sconces from Arteriors spark the imagination. And the sleek twist on geometric modernism from George Kovacs elicits surprising turns on classic themes. Finally, for a mid-century modern space with a Scandinavian touch, check out the sconces from Arne Jacobsen for Louis Poulsen.
Choosing the Best Mid-Century Modern Wall Lights
With a certain aesthetic choice in mind, selecting a wall light inspired by retro design is easy. First, determine the size of the wall sconce you need by reviewing dimensions like height, width, weight and depth (for those lighting designs that protrude from the wall). Next, refine your options by color and finish to find something that best fits your space. You'll also want to check out the wall light's bulb requirement to be prepared with the right light bulb at installation.
