What Is a Wall Sconce?

A wall sconce is a lighting fixture that mounts directly to a wall, providing ambient, task, or accent illumination without consuming floor or table space. Wall sconces can be hardwired into electrical circuits or designed as plug in wall sconces for flexible placement, making them versatile for hallways, bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas.

What You Get With the Currey & Co Avignon Wall Sconce

Frequently Asked Questions

How high to hang a wall sconce?

Wall sconces are typically mounted 60 to 66 inches from the floor to the center of the fixture, though bathroom sconces for vanity mirrors may be placed slightly higher or lower depending on mirror height and ceiling clearance.

Do wall sconces have to be hardwired?

Most decorative wall sconces, including the Avignon, are designed for hardwired installation connected to an in-wall electrical box, though some models offer plug in configurations for easier placement.

How far apart should wall sconces be on a mirror?

Position sconces 28 to 36 inches apart on center when flanking a bathroom mirror, or 4 to 6 inches beyond the mirror's edge to ensure even facial lighting without harsh shadows.

What height for bedroom wall sconces?

In bedrooms, mount sconces 55 to 60 inches from the floor when used for reading or ambient light, or align the bottom of the shade with eye level when seated or lying in bed.
