Wall sconces are mounted light fixtures that offer ambient, task, or accent lighting while keeping surfaces and floor space clear. Since they're installed directly onto the wall, sconces are a smart choice for areas where space is limited- such as along hallways, above stair landings, or on either side of a bed in the bedroom. Their compact, elevated placement makes them both functional and visually grounding in tight or transitional spaces.

While sconces are more compact than floor lamps and offer less general illumination than chandeliers, they fill a unique niche in home lighting. Their wall-mounted design adds dimension and can highlight architectural features without overwhelming a space. In living rooms, sconces can supplement larger fixtures or be layered with table lamps for a warm, layered effect. For rooms that need coordinated lighting, consider pairing sconces with a matching lamp set to unify your space.

All sconces currently offered by Rooms To Go are hardwired fixtures, meaning they must be installed directly into your wall’s electrical system. Unlike plug-in or battery-operated alternatives, hardwired sconces typically require professional installation, especially if you're adding them to a wall that doesn’t already have wiring in place.

While this setup may take a bit more planning, it results in a cleaner, more built-in appearance with no exposed cords. Hardwired sconces are ideal for permanent lighting solutions in hallways, bedrooms, living rooms, or beside mirrors.

Yes, especially when space is tight. In bedrooms, sconces mounted beside the bed offer an elegant bedside lighting alternative to bulky lamps and are ideal for reading without disturbing your partner. Some homeowners also install bronze sconces in kids rooms or nursery sets as gentle night lights or soft overhead replacements. You can even use them to create focused lighting in bunk bed setups or shared bedrooms. Sconces designed for bedrooms typically feature diffused shades and warm-toned bulbs that help create a calming, wind-down atmosphere.

Sconces come in a wide range of finishes and styles to match your home decor. If your space leans sleek and minimalist, consider modern sconces featuring clean lines, metal frames, and matte finishes. For something a little more grounded or rustic, black sconces and bronze sconces offer bold contrast and timeless character. Whether your home leans industrial, transitional, or farmhouse, you'll find sconce lighting that fits your style and color palette.

Sconces are versatile enough to work in nearly every part of the home. Bedrooms, hallways, living rooms, and stairwells are the most common settings, but sconces also add functionality in bathrooms, offices, and even kitchens. In a living room furniture layout, sconces placed on either side of a TV or piece of art can create symmetry and visual focus. In bedroom furniture setups, sconces mounted near the headboard free up nightstand space while delivering soft, targeted light for reading or relaxing. And in open dining areas, wall sconces can add ambient glow to complement your dining room furniture and help define the space without relying on overhead lighting.
