Most people already know the advantages of using wall sconces for accent lighting applications such as illuminating any special feature mounted to a wall. However, these versatile lighting fixtures have a number of useful applications as well. Ambient lighting, the general lamination in any room, is superior when there is more than one source of light, making wall sconces an excellent complement to any ceiling fixture. While they are not recommended for task lighting, properly placed wall sconces will complement any lamp or spot light fixture in a beneficial manner. They will reduce the amount of light needed by the task light fixture and thus reduce glare and eye strain in the process. Here are some more tips when using wall sconces throughout the home:

Bathroom

Perhaps the most common place for wall sconces is in the bathroom. For smaller bathrooms, wall sconces adorning either side of the mirror will be adequate in providing all of the lighting needs. When looking in the mirror, you want the lighting to be uniform so place wall sconces approximately 6 feet off the ground. Halogen bulbs will provide superior lighting that will most resemble that of natural sunlight so use them where possible. In larger bathrooms, the wall sconces will need to be complemented with a ceiling fixture to avoid shadows and uneven lighting.

While these fixtures provide adequate illumination of the eating area, it tends to create shadows in the corners. Wall sconces are excellent for providing the additional illumination necessary to ensure that your dining room has a more inviting appeal for diners. It is best to use the wall sconces to highlight decorative features in the dining room, such as the curio cabinet so that your China receives the attention it deserves.

You do not want shadows creating an uninviting atmosphere so use wall sconces to fill in the lighting gaps.
