Why We Love Art Deco Wall Sconces
Characterized by symmetrical details and geometric designs, Art Deco wall sconces are beautiful fixtures with a variety of applications. This timeless style preserves the unique character of traditional styles while adding a fresh twist for an almost futuristic effect. Art Deco sconces lend themselves best to ambient lighting with a warm, welcoming glow. These appealing pieces surpass the bar in both style and function.
Where Art Deco Sconces Work Best
Wall sconces make the most impact in small, dark areas. Because these pieces tend to be more elaborate they function well on their own, but can also be used in pairs for a symmetrical lighting experience. For bath and vanity lights, Art Deco bathroom lighting gives the room a definitive style while simultaneously providing ample light. They’re available in both up and down lighting options, but we think they work best as ambient lighting pieces where their unique design can really shine.
Favorite Art Deco Lighting Shapes & Styles
Though distinctive geometric shapes are a hallmark of art deco wall lights, there’s quite a wide variety within Art Deco lighting. Art Deco candle wall sconces take a familiar shape and reinvent it with an innovative new style. Vintage Art Deco wall sconces mimic the complexity of classical craftsmanship but simplify it with clean lines and patterns. All in all, art deco wall sconces run the gambit of different design characteristics, and because they often transform elements of other styles, they pair well with a variety of other lighting options.
How to Choose the Best Art Deco Wall Sconces
Art Deco Wall sconces can complement essentially any home style, so don’t be worried about matching with existing fixtures and furniture. The wide array of colors and shapes available allow them to mirror the pieces already in your home. Place them on either side of a mid-century mod fireplace for a futuristic effect or use them to add light and a visually appealing touch to a barren hallway. Art Deco wall sconces look beautiful in tandem with contemporary chandeliers or abstract pendant lights. Their neutral tones and expansive range of designs allow them to fit in any space.
Other Art Deco Lighting Options
Art Deco Sconces aren’t the only type of Art Deco lighting options available. If you want a cohesive design throughout your home, Art Deco pendants and Art Deco chandeliers are statement pieces that catch the eye and demand attention. They’ll brighten rooms up and act as alluring artistic touches. Art Deco outdoor lighting is an easy way to let your style flow effortlessly outside of your home. Pendant lights and wall sconces that are wet-rated work well on patios and porches alike.
