Frequently Asked Questions
Are wall sconces out of date?
Not even close. What's changed is the style. The heavy, matching sconce sets from a decade ago have given way to brass, iron, and candle-style fixtures that read as intentional design choices rather than builder-grade lighting. A well-chosen sconce is one of the easiest ways to make a room feel current.
What are the rules for wall sconces?
There's no strict rulebook, but a few guidelines hold up well. Hang them roughly 60 to 66 inches from the floor to the center of the fixture, keep pairs level and evenly spaced, and pick a finish that echoes another metal already in the room, like a brass faucet or an iron light fixture down the hall.
What is the advantage of a brass wall sconce?
Brass has a warmth that most other finishes don't, and it tends to age well rather than look dated. It also pairs easily with wood tones, so a brass sconce works in almost any room without fighting the existing furniture or trim.
Are wall sconces still in style?
Yes, and if anything they've become more popular as people move away from a single overhead light doing all the work in a room. Layering a sconce with a table lamp or a pendant light gives a space more depth and makes the lighting feel considered rather than an afterthought.
How far apart should bathroom vanity sconces be placed?
For a standard vanity, spacing sconces about 28 to 36 inches apart, centered on either side of the mirror, usually gives the most even light across the face. If your mirror is unusually wide, a single sconce centered above it can work just as well.
Is a plug-in wall sconce as good as a hardwired one?
A plug-in sconce gives you the same look with none of the electrical work, which makes it a good option for renters or anyone who wants to skip hiring an electrician. The main tradeoff is a visible cord, though many people run it along the wall or behind furniture to keep it out of sight.
