Italian Wall Sconces
The epitome of style and function, Italian wall sconces range from traditional deluxe, hand-blown glass fixtures to minimalist, contemporary designs that represent a more modern Italian craft. These versatile little Italian wall lights are space-saving multi-taskers that keep the floor clear of lamps and provide accent and ambient lighting. Perfect for small spaces and large areas alike, they work well inside and outside of every home. Italian wall sconce lighting really shines when placed in small spaces like bathrooms and hallways or to highlight architectural features like a fireplace. Place them strategically to lighten up dark areas and make them seem larger or to draw the eye to an accent piece with an upward beam of light. Get creative and add Italian wall sconces to either side of a bed for unique reading lights.
Italian wall lights come in a variety of shapes and styles. Far and away the most popular style, contemporary Italian wall sconces are plentiful and unique. Some represent the geometric symmetry of art deco wall sconces and others stray even further from tradition with irregular lines that cast dramatic shadows as they shine. A cornerstone of Italian lighting, hand-blown glass is prominent in many of these different styles. Italian glass wall sconces showcase their beautiful craftsmanship by manipulating the light.
Other Considerations
Italian wall sconces offer uplighting, downlighting and a combination of both. If using the sconce for ambient lighting, use a more contemporary fixture with up and down lighting and shade to diffuse the light. For accent lighting, consider a minimalist piece with uplighting to direct the eye, but not take away from the décor. Glass fixtures in abstract shapes tend to fit in best with modern homes, and darker finishes, like brass and bronze, complement a more traditional style. Energy-efficient LEDs shine everywhere, but most LED options will be with modern designs.
Although wall sconces are perfect for ambient and accent lighting, they tend to fall short with task lighting. Some styles may work, but for areas where precision work is done, like the kitchen, supplement the sconces. Think about installing Italian pendant lighting over your dining area or Italian flush mount lighting in the center of the room. This way the home will get the same style and artistry but with a more direct, brighter light.
