Sconce lighting fixtures are light sources that use only the wall for support. They do not have floor bases to stand on and lights are usually directed upwards. These indirect lighting fixtures are another elegant way of enhancing and highlighting the beauty of your home.
They are most commonly installed on bathrooms, corridors and hallways. Are sconces only for big houses with large passageways? It used to be, but not anymore. I have a small house and I have them on every bedroom. The lighting creates a pleasant atmosphere with its soft romantic illumination.

Depending on the positioning of the fixture, it can even provide an illusion making your room appear larger than its actual size. I personally prefer sconces than table lamps for the reason of child safety. Most of our guests bring their children to our house. Since it is a hanging device, children cannot play with the wires or switches.
There are so many styles to choose from such as Tiffany, Victorian, Contemporary and Old Forge. There are also many materials to choose from like wrought iron, brass, glass, metal, and others.
Benefits it Provides:

Installation Tips
Install your sconce approximately ¾ of the floor to ceiling height. If your floor to ceiling is 10 feet, then install your fixture at about 7.5 feet from the floor. Place your fixture where they will highlight the points of interest in the room. Highlight your fireplace for example or your prized paintings. For a hallways or corridors, the placement and layout should balanced and equally divided.
Sconce lighting fixtures can give your home the stunning effect you desire. They are a beautiful addition to any home style decor; however I do recommend quality indirect lighting fixtures as opposed to cheap and imitation products. Your safety is of utmost importance.
