Introducing a Decorative Wall Sconce into Your Space

Wall sconces offer a wide variety of designs, from minimalistic and sleek fixtures to more ornate and traditional ones. That said, selecting the ideal wall lights is not just about design, but also about functionality.  

When choosing a wall sconce, consider the style of your room, the amount of light you need, and where the sconces will be placed. Then, consider the type of light you need; whether it’s soft ambient lighting or something more directional, sconce lights can help you create the perfect atmosphere. 

FAQs

What’s the difference between a wall light and a wall sconce?

While the terms are often used interchangeably, a wall sconce refers specifically to a light fixture mounted on the wall and typically directs light upwards or downwards. Wall lights can include a wider range of lighting fixtures, including sconces, but may also encompass other types of wall-mounted lighting, such as flush mounts or wall lamps. Sconces tend to have a more decorative element, adding both light and aesthetic value to a room. 

How do I choose a wall sconce?

When selecting a wall sconce, consider the overall design of your room, as well as the function you want the sconce to serve.  

Choose sconces with diffused shades or upward-facing lights for a softer, ambient glow. For task lighting or accent lighting, opt for sconces that direct light downwards or are adjustable. The material and finish, such as brass wall sconces, more textured ceramic styles, and even woven rattan sconce varieties, can also impact the look and feel of the room, so consider what best matches your décor. 

Whether you’re adding soft lighting to your bedroom or enhancing the ambience in your living space, wall sconces offer a stylish and functional solution. With a range of designs available for wall sconces in Australia, you can easily find a fixture that suits your needs and décor with Temple & Webster. 

Where should sconces be placed on a wall?

The placement of wall sconces depends on their function and the room they’re in.  

For general lighting, sconces should be placed about 5-6 feet from the floor, ensuring they’re positioned at eye level. You may want the sconce lights slightly lower in a bedroom or reading nook to provide focused light. Placing sconces evenly spaced along the wall for hallways or living spaces creates a balanced and inviting atmosphere.
