Forget About Lightbulbs, The Quickest Way to Add Ambiance to Any Room Is With Candle Sconces – Shop Our Style Editor's Pick of the Best

Curation of candle sconces, featuring styles that span mirrored antique revivals and Art Deco stars to modern scallops and swiggles.

Culturally, we’re craving a world we never inhabited, an era when candles were the only lighting ideas on the table and evenings, at least in our imaginations, were threaded with enchantment and a little mystery. In 2025, we’re grateful for electricity, of course, but we're longing for romance. So the candle sconce is back: flanking artwork, anchoring furniture, and rescuing sad, shadowy corners.

They are perfect for this time of year, when you want to create romantic mood lighting for your festive gatherings. And if you are concerned about the fire hazard, pair a sconce with LED taper candles that give all the romance of the real thing, without the risk.

No wires, all whimsy – consider this the return of your new (old) favorite ambient glow.
