What Is a Hardwired Wall Sconce?
A hardwired wall sconce is a permanently wired lighting fixture that connects directly to your home's electrical system, typically requiring professional installation and offering a cleaner, cord-free appearance. Unlike plug in wall sconce models, hardwired sconces integrate into the wall structure and are controlled by wall switches.
What You Get With the Chelsea House Odeon Sconce
- Designer Pedigree -- Created by Jamie Merida, this sconce features a distinctive looped-base design that adds sculptural dimension to vertical surfaces.
- Aged Brass Finish -- The warm gold tone delivers a lived-in elegance that complements both modern wall sconce and traditional brass wall sconce aesthetics.
- Diffused Illumination -- The white cylindrical shade softens the light from a single 40-watt bulb, creating ambient glow ideal for hallways or bedrooms.
- Compact Footprint -- At 10 inches wide and 5.5 inches deep, the sconce provides statement lighting without consuming excessive wall space.
- Versatile Mounting -- Designed for vertical orientation, the 27-inch height works well flanking mirrors, in narrow corridors, or as reading lights.
- Lightweight Construction -- Weighing just 2.4 pounds, installation is straightforward on standard wall anchors or studs.
Where Does a Gold Wall Sconce Work Best?
The Odeon sconce excels in living rooms as accent lighting alongside sofas or built-ins, or in hallways where its vertical profile and brass finish add warmth without taking up floor space. For bedrooms, mount it at nightstand height (typically 60-66 inches to center) for a reading-friendly glow, or flank bathroom vanities where the aged brass complements fixtures -- explore more options in our full wall sconces collection or broader lighting fixtures range.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How high to hang a wall sconce?
- Mount the sconce center 60-66 inches from the floor for hallways and living areas; for bedside reading, place it 55-60 inches high or 18-24 inches above mattress level.
- Do wall sconces have to be hardwired?
- Most wall sconces, including the Odeon, are hardwired for a permanent, cord-free installation, though plug-in alternatives exist for spaces without electrical boxes.
- How far apart should wall sconces be on a mirror?
- Space sconces 28-36 inches apart (center to center) on either side of a bathroom mirror for even, shadow-free illumination.
- What height for bedroom wall sconces?
- Position bedroom sconces 55-60 inches from the floor for seated reading, or align the bottom of the shade with eye level when standing if used for ambient lighting.
- Is free shipping available on this sconce?

- What bulb works best with a 40-watt max sconce?
