Elegant Wall Sconces For Your Home

Wall sconces are a great way to add light and character to any room they are in. But there are so many kinds of wall sconces out there, how do you choose the right one for your space? This LuxeDecor sconces guide discusses tips on choosing which type of wall sconce is best for you.

Before You Buy

1. Choose Your Budget. Nice looking wall sconces are definitely an investment. You’ll make a larger financial commitment if you are purchasing lighting for several rooms or remodeling your entire home. Make sure to research your budget and stay within it. There's a large range of options available in many different price ranges, so this is a great product for all homes.
2. Think About Your Room's Design Goals. A wall sconce can be a great way to create drama, or highlight architectural details in the design of your room. Make sure you are buying lighting that will work with the style and atmosphere that you want for your space.
3. Consider the Lighting Needs of Your Room. You should also think about how much light you need in your room. If you are looking for wall sconces to provide an accent or decorative effect, then look into one that will cast more directional light onto the walls and ceiling. But if you want it as a functional lighting source for reading
4. Consider Color Temperatures. Wall sconces typically come in two different color temperatures: warm and cool. Warm-toned wall scones are known for creating a cozy atmosphere that will make your space feel more like home. They also provide eyes with a much-needed rest from the blue light constantly absorbed from computers, television, and cell phone screens.Cool-toned lighting is often better suited for commercial spaces or nighttime use because they emit a brighter light and are not as warm.

Consider the Style of Your Wall Sconces

When picking out your wall sconces, don't forget to factor in what style you want for them. A modern room might benefit from a minimalist design with clean lines or an industrial look. But if you have traditional furniture, then consider buying more ornate wall sconces with detailed construction.

You will have a large number of color options available as well. Gold, copper, black, and silver are all popular choices for modern homes. Glass and metal are typically the most popular for traditional design.

Installation of Your Sconces

Keep in mind that the style of your sconces will also dictate how they attach to your walls: some can be mounted on a wall while others need to be connected directly with wires or installed into the drywall. This is something you should know before buying your sconces.

Features to Consider When Purchasing Wall Sconces

Here are some features to consider before you buy wall sconces:

• Finish: The finish of your sconces should match the style of the room or furniture. Some finishes can be painted over. Don't forget about matching cords!
• Size and Style: The size and design of a wall sconce will determine if it will be flush up against a wall or if it needs to sit on something.
• Number of Lightbulbs: This is the amount of light coming from your sconce, and how much you need in your room. A single bulb can be used as an accent piece but multiple bulbs should provide more reliable lighting for reading.
• Sconce Shape: your wall sconces should match the overall design of the room.
• Candleabra Sconce: if you want a romantic, warm feeling in your space then this type of sconce may be perfect for you. Candles are often included with purchase and there's even some that mimic candlelight by projecting a flickering light on the walls.
• Cord Length: Does your sconce need to be near an outlet? Some can be mounted on the wall and don't need an outlet, but others will have a cord that needs to reach one.
• Remote Control: If you want your sconces to turn off automatically or adjust their brightness for when it gets dark outside then consider investing in them with remote control features.
• Multi-Head Wall Sconce: This is a great option if you have several rooms with wall sconces and want them to look uniform.

How to Choose the Right Wall Sconces

In order to pick out the best wall sconces for your home, you'll want to decide which room they'll be going in. Then you should think about what kind of lighting will suit your space best and how much light is needed for the room. But if you're looking for more decorative wall sconces, then it may help to decide on the style first before considering function.

If you're getting bathroom wall sconces, then you'll want a warmer color temperature. This will create the cozy atmosphere that most people enjoy in their bathrooms and give your eyes a break from all of the blue light exposure they've been getting throughout their day. If you're looking for an accent piece, then consider one with more directional lighting to cast some cool tones on the walls or ceiling.

Whatever type of wall sconces you're looking for, it's important to look closely at what the features are before making a purchase. If you want them with remote control or LED bulbs then they'll be more expensive than if you don't care about those things. Creating beautiful and functional lighting is one way that you can make your home more inviting and welcoming.
