Small Wall Sconces

Why We Love Small Wall Sconces

For small spaces and supplemental lighting alike, small wall sconces are the perfect lighting solution. Offered in LED and traditional options, these little lights can transform your space without taking up any room. They keep the floors clear and leave plenty of wall space for other home decor or art. Use a small bathroom wall sconce to light up a dark vanity or opt for a small outdoor wall sconce to light up a narrow entryway. Small sconces make a big impact wherever they are.

Where Small Wall Sconces Work Best

Small wall lights work best in small spaces, and the same rings true for small wall sconces. We especially like them in typically dark and cramped areas like narrow hallways, dark bathrooms, and cramped foyers. Though they’re small, the light from these powerful little fixtures can brighten these places up and make them seem larger. Small wall sconces also work well as supplemental lighting. Designer chandeliers often provide exquisite visuals but may lack a little in the way of bright lighting. Combine them with small wall sconces so you don’t have to choose between style and function.

Favorite Small Wall Light Styles

Available in styles ranging from ultra contemporary to classic and traditional, there’s a small wall sconce here in every style. If you’re looking for a more traditional feel to compliment the rest of your home’s decor, opt for a lantern or lamp shape. The detailed designs and familiar silhouettes will fit in perfectly. Small wall sconces with uniquely shaped shades and clean lines will give your home a more contemporary vibe. And for everyone whose home decor lies somewhere in between those two extremes, we have transitional fixtures that take elements from both styles to form a universally complimentary light.

How to Choose the Perfect Small Sconce

Small wall lamps and small wall candle sconces are popular styles of these small wall lights. We love these styles for ambient lighting in hallways and bathrooms where they won’t cast any harsh light. Typically the fixtures with modern and contemporary shades offer more effective up and down lighting. For this reason, we think they work best as supplemental lighting in a living space or as task lighting in small kitchens. However, the little body of these fixtures means they fit and work in a lot of places, so don’t be afraid to be creative when using them. If your primary concern is longevity and energy consumption, be sure to opt for LED fixtures instead of a traditional bulb. Also, take a look at our other LED wall lights and sconces for the rest of your home’s lighting.
