Mid-Century Modern Wall Sconce
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 the decor while evoking the warmth and grace of mid-century life.
Wall lighting is an ideal option for spaces to complement existing light from a chandelier, pendant or flush mount light fixture. These 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 such as 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 the hallway with any of these wall-mounted fixtures.
Other Considerations
With a certain aesthetic choice in mind, selecting a wall light inspired by retro design is a simple task. First, determine the size of the wall sconce that is needed by reviewing dimensions like height, width, weight and depth (for those lighting designs that protrude from the wall). Next, refine the options by color and finish to find something that best fits the space. Also check the wall light's bulb requirement to be prepared with the right light bulb at installation.
Transitional wall sconces are a great way to add layers of light to rooms. Their look borrows from modern and classic designs, creating a remarkable piece that works well with several different styles. They produce ambient lighting to softly illuminate walls, floors and ceilings. If more of the same style is desired, consider mid century modern arc floor lamps. Floor lamps provide a larger, more full layer of light in the home, allowing the sconce to perform its duty as an accent light.
