Interior Design Tips

Once you have selected your style, placement is key. To get the most out of your new lighting, keep these interior design tips in mind:

  • Layer Your Lighting: Never rely on a single light source. Use sconces to complement overhead chandeliers or recessed lighting. This creates "layers" of light that make a room feel larger and more dynamic.
  • Mind the Height: A common mistake is hanging sconces too high. Generally, they should be placed approximately 60 to 72 inches from the floor to the center of the fixture. If you are placing them beside a bathroom mirror, aim for eye level to reduce unflattering shadows.
  • Save Space: In smaller rooms or apartments, floor space is premium real estate. Swapping out floor lamps for wall sconces frees up square footage while keeping the room bright and airy.

Sconce Design Trends

Lighting trends are moving toward personality and warmth. We are seeing a surge in organic materials, with sconces featuring natural wood, rattan, and seeded glass that bring an earthy, grounded feel to a home. Sculptural shapes are also having a moment; think of your sconce not just as a light, but as a piece of wall art that looks beautiful even when turned off. Finally, mixed metals—pairing black with brass or nickel with gold—remain a popular way to add sophisticated contrast to neutral walls.
