When it comes to indoor lighting fixtures, you usually hear about ceiling mounted fixtures such as chandeliers, fluorescent tubes, recessed bulbs, or pendants. However, wall mounted lighting fixtures are now becoming increasingly popular for home lighting. And when talking of wall mounted lights, you cannot help but mention sconces.

Wall sconces are usually mounted on the wall, a little more than halfway between the floor and the ceiling. They are usually mounted about 5 ½ to 6 feet from the floor. However, if you have really high ceilings, then you can mount these lights about 8-10 feet from the floor.

Sconces can be used to provide almost all kinds of lighting, be it general, accent, or task lighting. These lighting options are high in functionality, while at the same time, adding a very ornamental and decorative look to the area. Sconces also use different types of lights as their illumination source. You can choose from fluorescent lights, halogen lights, incandescent lights, or even real candles to light up your home. Thus, whether you need bright and powerful lighting for your living room, or soft and muted lighting for your bedroom, or perhaps even just a tiny hint of illumination for hallways or as a night light; wall sconces can fulfill every need.

Why Choose Wall Sconces?

In addition to being an excellent source of light, sconces can also be used to bring your creativeness to the fore. If you want to add an artistic look to your home through your lighting fixtures, then sconces are your best bet. In fact, there are many types of wall sconces that are designed and created with such beautiful originality that they can literally be called works of art.

Sconces can fit in beautifully with any theme of home décor. Many a times you will also be able to find wall sconces that have designs and patterns that can match your furnishings or other decorative items perfectly. With sconces being available in a host of different styles, materials, finishes, and sizes, it is no surprise that they have set the latest trends as far as chic and elegant lighting fixtures are concerned.

With such a wide variety to choose from, you can add wall sconces to any area of your home including your bedroom, living room, formal dining room, bathroom, kitchen, media room, staircases, hallways, foyer, children’s room, guest room, and even a formal study. Not just inside your home, but outdoor sconces can be used to brighten up and adorn the outside of your home as well.

Sconces can be used as stand alone lighting fixtures, in pairs or multiples, and can also be used to complement other types of lighting fixtures in your home. So, if you are tired of the same boring lighting options out there, let your next lighting fixture be a wall sconce, and let us help you find the perfect one!
