Sconce Lighting

A sconce is a type of light fixture that is mounted directly to the wall. Their biggest benefit is the diversity of their uses. Other lighting fixtures are often practical only in select rooms, whereas sconces can work in any room in your home, as well as in various locations outdoors. Sconces are also incredibly versatile where artistic license is concerned.

Sconces are most common in hallways, stairwells, bathrooms and bedrooms. For certain rooms of the house, like the living room, sconces are often added as complementary light sources to floor and table lamps situated throughout the room. Outdoor sconces are great to flank the entrances to your home, or to light around the patio during evening parties.

Art Lighting Gallery brings the best of custom sconce designs to our customers thanks to partnerships with some of the best artists in the business. Murray Barber is world-renowned for his work with traditional wood and paper designs. Guy Corrie has made a name for himself by using his blown glass designs to give rooms an eclectic, contemporary feel.

Something that makes sconces so versatile is their ability to complement other lighting fixtures in the home. Many people will invest in pendant chandeliers and sconces in varying combinations, giving their rooms a signature style in lighting design. Through Art Lighting Gallery, it's possible to easily commission an entire room from a single artist.
