Lighting 101: My Top 7 Wall Sconces

Top 7 Wall SconcesMy lighting series continues today with one of my favourite type of fixtures – Wall Sconces!! These fixtures are ideal choices in the bedroom, positioned on either side of the bathroom mirror, or accentuating your front entry or staircase. I’ve rounded up my top 7 wall sconces for you to see!

Top 7 Wall Sconces

  1. I love these throw back, retro sconces from Crate & Barrel. A perfect balance of brass and glass in a unique bell shape.
  2. A little hint of the industrial is still a great, modern look. These Factory sconces would look great in a bedroom.
  3. Restoration Hardware has some lovely wall fixtures – and I especially love this french inspired sconce, that can move to wherever you need some extra light.
  4. Great playful curves are the feature of this one!
  5. I love the warmth of the white oak on this one, also from Crate & Barrel. A modern take that would look great in a Scandinavian inspired home.
  6. Mid century modern inspiration at a great price. And it’s the perfect size for a bathroom or bedroom!
  7. Last but not least, a sconce that can be attached to the wall or clamped on a shelf or windowsill if you are not in the business of damaging walls! Great idea!

I am obsessed with these simple copper sconces – paired with a crisp white bed and grey wall, it looks classic and understated.

powder room finalI also love the single light above the mirror in Cupcakes and Cashmere’s renovated powder room. The brass detailing really pops next to the deep, rich wallpaper.

Tip: In your master bath, think about installing your sconces slightly above eye level, on either side of a mirror. This is the most ideal position for applying makeup and being able to see your face in the most favourable light 🙂

Tomorrow on Inspired…some perfect pendants and chandeliers!!
