What Is a Wall Sconce?
A wall sconce is a lighting fixture mounted directly to a wall, providing ambient, task, or accent illumination without taking up floor or counter space. Wall sconces are commonly used in bathrooms, hallways, bedrooms, and living rooms to layer light and enhance architectural features.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Bombelles Wall Sconce
- Natural Alabaster Globe -- the globe is crafted from genuine alabaster, creating a luminous glow when lit and ensuring each fixture has unique natural variations.
- Antique Brass Finish -- the warm gold metal adds timeless appeal and complements traditional and transitional bathroom decor.
- Reversible Mounting -- install the globe pointing up or down to suit your lighting needs and vanity configuration.
- Compact Footprint -- at 9.75 inches high and 6 inches wide, the sconce fits comfortably above mirrors and counters without overwhelming smaller bathrooms.
- Abundant Task Lighting -- designed specifically for bathroom vanity use, spreading even light for grooming and daily routines.
How Should You Style a Brass Wall Sconce for Bathroom Vanity Lighting?
Flank a bathroom mirror with two Bombelles sconces to achieve balanced, shadow-free task lighting for makeup application and shaving. The antique brass finish pairs beautifully with other wall sconces and lighting fixtures in gold or warm metal tones, creating a cohesive look throughout your home. For additional layered illumination, combine the sconce with overhead lighting and consider echoing the brass accent in living room furniture hardware for a unified design thread.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How high to hang a wall sconce?
- Mount bathroom wall sconces 60 to 70 inches from the floor (center of the fixture) for optimal face lighting at typical vanity heights.
- How far apart should wall sconces be on a mirror?
- Position sconces 28 to 36 inches apart (center to center) for mirrors 30 to 40 inches wide, ensuring even light distribution without harsh shadows.
- Do wall sconces have to be hardwired?
- The Bombelles sconce requires hardwired installation; it is not a plug in wall sconce and must be connected to junction boxes by a licensed electrician.
- What is a plug in wall sconce?
- A plug in wall sconce includes a power cord and plug, allowing you to install the fixture without electrical wiring, whereas hardwired sconces connect directly to household circuits.
