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.

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.

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.
