What to look for in wall sconces
Upward light softens a wall and ceiling, downward light supports tasks, and diffused shades reduce glare; some fittings combine more than one effect.
Materials and craftsmanship
The collection draws on brass, ceramic, glass, steel and bronze. Cast detailing adds further texture and individuality. Texture and technique bring depth, individuality and visual interest to the wall sconces range. Confirm the relevant globe, dimming, certification and installation requirements for the selected fixture.
Scale, placement and everyday use
Plan mounting height, light direction and symmetry in relation to nearby furniture or mirrors. Check whether the fitting is hardwired, dimmable and suitable for the intended location, particularly in bathrooms or other regulated zones.
Frequently asked questions
How high should wall sconces be installed?
Installation height depends on the room, fitting and purpose. Place the light to avoid direct glare and coordinate it with the bed, mirror, artwork or architectural feature it serves.
