Wall Lights & Sconces

Layer your rooms with wall lights and sconces that add illumination without taking up floor or table space. Our collection includes modern wall lamps, classic sconces, glass globes, reading lights, decorative statement fixtures and industrial designs for bedrooms, hallways, living rooms, dining areas and home offices.

Wall Lights for Ambient, Accent and Task Lighting

Wall lighting can make a narrow hallway feel more welcoming, frame a bed or mirror, highlight artwork and create a softer evening atmosphere. Upward-facing sconces spread ambient light across the wall and ceiling, while downward or adjustable fixtures provide more focused illumination. Pairs create symmetry; a single wall lamp can define a reading corner or architectural feature.

Compare styles across modern wall lights, classic wall lights and industrial wall lights. For exterior entrances and patios, choose products specifically designed for outdoor use from our outdoor wall lights.

How to Select a Wall Sconce

• Measure projection: check how far the fixture extends from the wall, especially in corridors and beside doorways.
• Plan mounting height: consider eye level, furniture placement, glare and the direction of the light.
• Choose a shade and finish: clear glass feels brighter, diffused glass softens the glow, and metal finishes can coordinate with nearby hardware.
• Confirm electrical specifications: review the bulb base, integrated LED details, voltage, wattage and dimmer compatibility.

Wall sconces are often part of a layered scheme rather than the room's only light source. Combine them with suitable ceiling lighting and portable lamps as needed. Hardwired fixtures should be installed by a qualified electrician according to local electrical requirements.

Wall Lights FAQ

What is the difference between a wall light and a wall sconce?

The terms are often used interchangeably. A sconce is a wall-mounted light fixture, while wall light is the broader category that can also include adjustable reading lamps and decorative wall fixtures.

How high should wall lights be installed?

There is no single height for every room. Placement depends on ceiling height, fixture size, furniture and intended use. Map the fixture dimensions and sightlines before installation.

Can these fixtures be used in bathrooms or outdoors?

Only when the individual product carries an appropriate damp- or wet-location rating. Indoor fixtures should not be installed where moisture exposure exceeds their stated rating.
