How to Choose the Right Wall Sconce
Purpose
Decide whether the sconce will be used for ambient, task, or accent lighting.
For reading or grooming, opt for task-oriented designs; for decor or mood lighting, choose ambient or accent styles.
Placement
In bedrooms: Place sconces at eye level, typically 60-65 inches from the floor.
In bathrooms: Mount sconces on either side of a mirror for even lighting.
In hallways: Space sconces about 6-8 feet apart for balanced illumination.
Size
Ensure the sconce size is proportional to the wall and room. Large sconces work well in open spaces, while smaller ones suit compact areas.
Power Source
Hardwired sconces provide a clean look with no visible cords.
Plug-in sconces are easier to install and ideal for renters or temporary setups.
