Glass Wall Sconces
Glass wall sconces bring light and lightness to the wall. Opal glass diffuses light softly and evenly, while colored glass in caramel, emerald or smoke works as a decorative accent even during the day. In this collection you will find glass wall sconces paired with brass, metal, wood and travertine, from globes and capsules to hourglass shapes.
How to choose the right glass wall sconce
- Beside the bed: an opal glass shade gives low-glare reading light.
- In the hallway and stairwell: several identical wall sconces in a row guide the eye through the space.
- As an accent: colored or textured glass adds a highlight beside a mirror or sideboard.
When choosing, consider the mounting height and make sure the light does not project into a walkway. Mounting type, connection and dimensions are listed for each model. A hardwired installation is a job for a qualified electrician.
Frequently asked questions
Opal, clear or smoked glass: which is best for a wall sconce?
Opal glass is milky and hides the bulb, ideal for soft, glare-free light. Clear glass shows the bulb and feels airy, while smoked glass is darker and moodier. With VENOR you choose between clear glass with chrome, smoked glass with black and satin glass with brass. For a touch of color, the KIAN glass mosaic comes in amber, blue or clear.
What bulb do I need for a glass wall sconce?
That depends on the model: VENOR takes a small screw-in bulb, while EREN comes with its LED bulb included. Behind clear glass the bulb stays visible, so a decorative bulb is worth considering. In living rooms and bedrooms, warm white light around 2700 to 3000 K is usually felt to be the coziest.
Are there plug-in glass wall sconces?
Yes: the CORI wooden wall sconce with its milk glass globe simply plugs into an outlet, with no hardwiring needed. That's handy if you rent or if there's no junction box on the wall where you want the light. For the other models, the connection type is shown on the product page.
