Sconce lighting Ideas for the Home
Copyright (c) 2009 Julia Ritzenthaler
Wall sconces are really great for hallways, stairways, home entries, and really any living space that could benefit from accent lighting. Adding a wall sconce is just like incorporating any type of new light fixture. The only difference is the location and the kind of fixture box utilized. As with ceiling lights, you can vary the number of lights controlled by a single switch and it's best to affix the fixture box to a framing member as well as the drywall or plaster.
sconce lighting Essentials
Sconce lighting can be used to generate a dash of added light to give the illusion that an area is larger than it is. Generally, it is ideal to add wall sconces to one wall where the accent or indirect lighting is necessary. Wall sconces also function particularly well in groups, consider one sconce on the four walls of the room. They are also nice when used to complement another light, such as a dining room chandelier. They are great for reading.
Sconces should be at about 72 to 78 inches high. Any lower and they could get in the way and if they are positioned too high they won't cast the appropriate amount of light. When using more than one sconce, position them six feet apart or more.
Sconces add light while also adding a nice soft mood to the room. You may install a wall sconce in your laundry room to add a bit more interest to an otherwise boring space, or even position one in your dark hallway to make it more warm and cozy. Wall sconces are also great for bedrooms, since they can present light adequate enough when watching a movie or as a nightlight.
Use sconces to add style to any room. They can be used for a variety of purposes, functional and decorative. Sconces add a nice decorative flair. Sconces are great for accenting works of art or simply adding to the style of a room. Sconce lighting works just about anywhere in the home.
Always make safety the top priority when working on home projects. If you are not experienced with electricity, then consider hiring a professional electrician to see you through the installation of your new light fixtures.
