Discover our living room wall sconces: decorative sconces, picture lights and wall lights that add a soft layer of light to the room. They complement the ceiling light and lamps to create a warm evening mood.
Where to place sconces in a living room?
A pair of sconces on each side of a fireplace, mirror or bookcase creates lovely symmetry. Above artwork, a picture light shows it off. Sconces are usually mounted about 5 ft 6 in from the floor to avoid glare.
