FAQ’S ABOUT SCONCES

ARE WALL SCONCES IN STYLE?

YES! Wall sconces are very much in style. Despite the old sounding term, sconces add light, interest and texture to any space no matter your design style.

HOW LONG SHOULD A SCONCE BE?

The sconces can range from 12″ to 20″ depending on where you hang them. Go for larger sconces on big walls that have white space. For smaller spaces opt for a smaller sconce.

What are wall sconces used for?

Wall sconces provide an additional light source in a room or hallway. They can also be used to add to the design aesthetic to the space.

Do wall sconces need wiring?

Not all wall sconces need hard wiring. Some come with wall plugs so that you can use them without the need for an electrician.

Where should wall sconces be placed?

Sconces should be placed symmetrically at 60″ to 72″ from the floor depending on the ceiling height and height of the furnishings in the room or hallway.

How can I light my wall sconces without electricity?

Add a puck light inside the shade of the sconce where the lightbulb would normally be. The puck light will act as a light source without electricity.

How far should sconces be from art or a mirror?

Sconces should be installed 4″ to 6″ beside the piece of art or mirror for the best fit. For larger spaces with wide sconces you can affix them up to 10″ from the sides.
