Lighting is one of the most important aspects of any fully finished home. Too little of it can make rooms feel dark and grim, while too much can make a room uncomfortable and even invasive. One of the best ways to achieve the ideal lighting in a given room is through wall sconces. Here are a few useful suggestions on how to decorate your home with the nifty, practical wall lighting. 

3 Simple Ways to Decorate With Sconces

1. Place at Eye Level

According to most professional interior decorators and designers, wall sconces should be treated like framed art: hung right around eye level. This means between five and six feet above the floor, depending on the height of the homeowners and how they want the sconces’ light to hit the rest of the room. 

2. Use As Accent Lighting

For rooms with no overhead lighting, wall sconces can offer the perfect complement to lamps. Add two or more in these rooms instead of extra table or floor lamps to maximize space. Along with one or two lamps, the sconces should offer adequate lighting for the room while also contributing elegant ambiance. 

3. Use in Pairs or Quartets

Wall sconces should always be used with a sense of design symmetry. Simply attaching them to walls haphazardly can confuse or compromise a room's aesthetic appeal. Instead, find the right wall to place two or four next to each other, with the same amount of space between each one. Evenly placed wall sconces can anchor empty space and enhance a room's sense of cohesion.
