Add Unique Wall Sconces to Your Home

Everyone has their own unique decorating style for their home. Whether it’s a minimalist, low maintenance vibe or the ultimate love for shabby chic home décor, expressing your individual style doesn’t have to be complicated. And one of the best things about decorating your home is that there’s always room for adding a new piece or two to give a space new life. You don’t need a total home makeover to make a room feel special. Something as simple as a wall sconce can take a room and provide the finishing touch to pull together your style and make it pop.

This style of lighting and décor can be either subtle or dramatic, depending on the type of sconce you choose. And it adds great character to a room without being overwhelming. We recommend sconces for just about any room in your house, from bathroom to basement and kitchen to bedrooms. Plus, if you choose sconce lighting, it provides dual functionality by lighting a space and acting as a piece of wall décor. If you think some of your lighting could use an upgrade or have minimal space for elaborate or large wall art, sconces are the way to go.

Here’s a roundup of a few of our current favorite sconces—we think you’ll love them, too!

A Place for Flora
Sconces don’t just have to provide light—they can be a great way to show off your favorite flowers when you don’t have a ton of extra surface space available for traditional vases. These Mediterranean Wall Vases are a gorgeous example of this fun wall décor. We love them as bathroom wall sconces for those with pedestal sinks (or whose countertops simply aren’t big enough for practical bathroom items and décor). Add your favorite flowers or greens—real or artificial—and your bathroom will feel instantly upgraded. Plus, these also make great farmhouse wall décor to add to a country style kitchen.
