Good lighting is the bread and butter of a cozy, well-styled interior. It elevates a space from stark to sensual, and good lighting is all in the layers. What would a dining room dinner party or living room siesta be without the soft glow of ambient lighting? A table lamp here, a floor lamp there, and most importantly: well-placed wall scones.
Wall sconces bring that thoughtful finishing touch, merging both form and function when planning your home lighting scheme. However, sconce lighting requires a little more consideration than simply placing it on a side table or shelf — it's typically wired-in, meaning you really need to think about things like height, size, and relative placement to get it right. So, naturally, there are a few places you shouldn't hang a sconce light.
