Incorporating ambient, task, and accent lighting into your home decor is one of the principles of strong interior design. Sconces can serve any of those roles while adding visual interest to the space. Whether you opt for one or several of these wall-mounted fixtures, they add the following several benefits to the overall look and feel of the room. 

3 Benefits of Wall Sconces

1. Create Energy Efficiency  

You might not realize it, but lighting is a major contributor to your home’s energy usage. Sconces use significantly less energy than other types of lighting, so placing them strategically around your home can help reduce the amount of power you use. For instance, installing one near your bed or a favorite armchair will provide enough light for reading for a fraction of the energy consumption of an overhead light. Also, because sconces can accommodate dimmers and other features, they can be adjusted for mood lighting while also keeping energy costs under control. 

2. Add a Decorative Element

Unlike traditional overhead lights or track lighting, sconces add flair to your room and enhance the decor. With an endless variety of options for shapes, sizes, colors, and finishes, wall-mounted sconces can coordinate and enhance any room design from traditional to contemporary.

Sconces are appropriate for any room in your home, including the bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen, so you have plenty of options for getting creative and making your space a reflection of your personality and taste. 

3. Increase Space

Lamps and other sources of light may be attractive and provide plenty of light, but they take up space. In a small room where floor or table space is at a premium, sconces add light without using that valuable space. You don't need to worry about lampshades blocking sightlines or arranging furniture to ensure the lamp is near an outlet.
