A Guide To Choosing Wall Sconces For Your House

By Abigail Baston


Wall sconces can be used to create stylish looks in your home, while also providing much needed lighting. However, there are tons to choose from and many people do not give much thought to what they should consider before selecting a sconce. Fortunately, this guide to sconces can help you choose the perfect sconces for your home.

A wall sconce is a lighting fixture that attaches to a wall. Typically, they are screwed to the wall with traditional metal screws. Today, there are many kinds, including electric, candle, and oil sconces. For many people, these fixtures are a great way to add mood lighting to a room.

Before you purchase a sconce, you should check that it is capable of providing you with the amount of light you require. Check what the maximum wattage is for the recommended light bulbs. The higher the number, the brighter the light the fixture will allow for.

You may see some sconces and be tempted to purchase them because of how beautiful they are. However, you should ensure that the sconce will actually match your current decor prior to making the purchase. For example, an avant-garde or contemporary wall sconce may not fit well with a home that has a country theme.

Sconces can either be hard wired or they can be plugged into a wall socket. Be sure to choose a sconce that is easy for you to install. However, sconces that are designed to be plugged into the wall will have a visible cord.

Some sconces feature small lampshades that can be changed out whenever you desire. These sconces are great for people who like to change the color schemes of their homes.

When you choose the right wall sconces for your house, they'll fit in with your decor and help create the perfect mood lighting. Be sure to shop around and find something that works well in your home.
