The 10 Best Brass Wall Sconces
You’ve heard the age old secret to a well lit room — (outside of get yourself some dimmers already!)– ensure that the light produced in any room stems from multiple sources. Meaning– your overhead fixture — however fabulous it may be– is not enough. A table lamp, a floor lamp or even a cluster of candles can help create the nicely distributed glow present in the most comforting of rooms. But what if your tabletop just isn’t spacious enough for a big ol’ ceramic gourd lamp? What if that space next to the sofa really needs to be occupied by an accent chair as opposed to a floor lamp? And finally– what if your crisp and clean vision for the space just doesn’t involve one of these (potentially) bulkier, grounded fixtures?
Sconce lighting could be a perfect option for you! The majority of these fixtures require some hardwiring by an electrician– but there are some great plug-in alternatives for those with a case of design commitment-phobia. We’re not even going to get into candle sconces right now. Still lovely for ambiance but not ideal for the scatterbrained at heart (read: I would probably burn our house down– not a practical lighting solution for many of us).

Notice a common thread? Brass is the finish du jour — a trend that doesn’t seem to be budging any time soon. Whether the sconces provide light in hard-to-reach places, flank a prized piece of art, or add some gilded, architectural interest to the room, they are a welcome addition to almost any style and design scenario (modern, industrial, traditional– you name it).
