Explore our wall sconces for entryways, living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and bathrooms. Mounted on the wall, sconces can add ambient, task or decorative light without taking up floor or furniture space.
Wall sconces for different spaces
A wall sconce can frame a bed, mirror, artwork or piece of furniture, or simply complement the room’s general lighting. For more specialized uses, compare vanity lighting and picture lights as separate wall-lighting categories.
How to choose a wall sconce
Consider mounting height, fixture projection, direction of light and the purpose of the fixture. In hallways, make sure it does not interfere with circulation. In bathrooms or other areas exposed to moisture, always review the fixture’s location rating and installation specifications.
Wall sconce or wall light?
These terms are often used for closely related wall-mounted fixtures. Wall lighting is the broader category, while wall sconces describe a common decorative type within it.
