Indoor Wall Sconces
Indoor wall sconces give a room depth: they light up walls, add accents and create atmosphere at eye level. In this collection you will find wall sconces in real alabaster, travertine, marble, walnut, ceramic and opal glass – from slim light columns and globes on stone discs to adjustable reading lights.
Indoor wall sconces: making the right choice
- Light direction: up-and-down models such as DALA or BOKI cast light upward and downward and accentuate the wall; opal glass or alabaster globes glow all around.
- Height: as a guide, a wall sconce sits about 160 to 180 cm above the floor, lower beside the bed. That way it does not dazzle and looks right.
- Material: alabaster and opal glass diffuse light softly, travertine and wood direct it and bring warmth.
- Connection: most models are hardwired; some, such as CORI, come with a cable and plug. The details are on the product page.
The right wall sconce for every room
In the living room, wall sconces complement the ceiling light and create a calm mood in the evening. In the bedroom, they replace the bedside lamp; in the hallway, they guide you through the space with even light. Mounted in pairs, they frame a sideboard, mirror or painting. For a warm effect, bulbs of around 2700 to 3000 K are recommended.
Frequently asked questions
How high should wall sconces be mounted?
In living spaces and hallways, usually at about 160 to 180 cm; as a reading light by the bed, a little lower. What matters is that you do not look directly into the bulb.
Do I need an electrician?
For hardwired wall sconces, yes. Plug-in or rechargeable models can be used without any electrical installation.
Which wall sconce gives the softest light?
Alabaster and opal glass models diffuse light most evenly. Travertine and wood direct it more upward or downward.
