Style And Drama With Wall Sconces
Wall sconces are a great way to add drama and style to any room. These lights give a soft glow that creates a warm and welcoming environment that you can relax in. If you like softness but not the formality of chandelier lighting, then sconces may be the perfect alternative.
Sconces can provide ambient, task or accent lighting depending on how the fixtures are placed. They are usually mounted on the wall, a little more than halfway between the floor and the ceiling. Many use a single bulb and the design will determine how the light is directed.
Some have a half-moon shaped cover that hides the bulb from view and provides an upward beam of light on the wall. Others shine downward and are great for accent lighting over end tables and shelves. There are also wall sconces that have a full-cover lens that allows more of a moon-glow effect. The light is indirectly spread around the fixture.
Whether you need functional kitchen lighting for cooking, bright foyer lighting for safety, or soft lighting for a living room, wall sconces can address all of those needs. The key elements are design and placement.
These lights can be beautiful and elegant substitutes for chandelier lighting but they can also be supplemental lights to other fixtures, like mini chandeliers or hanging lamps. All you have to do is choose a design you love, install them in the right place, and enjoy the glow of these stylish fixtures.
