Wall sconces add function and style to a home library. As we head into fall our interiors become more important and the den or library is the perfect place to study, read and generally enjoy a respite from the cooler weather. Like your kitchen and office, lighting is key to making the most of any room. Creating a mood by offering the right task lighting is key to this type of space, as shown in these inspiration images from A Perfect Grey.
1. Hudson Valley Exeter Antique Nickel Swing Arm Wall Light
Adjustable lighting is great. The ability to move lights around allows you to direct light where needed, like for reading and hobbies such as sewing and knitting. This type of light an also be used to illuminate artwork and collectibles when mounted above a bookcase.
2. House of Troy Greensboro Antique Brass Torch Wall Lamp
The fixed scone with shade is time-honored and chic. You can’t go wrong with this style if your goal is an attractive way to add light without the need for task lights. You can always jazz up a wall sconce with a small decorative lamp shade in various colors or trim.
3. Chase Collection Bronze Swing Arm Wall Lamp
Swing arm lamps, like adjustable sconces, are multi-functional. I love these lamps in libraries as well as in bedrooms. They are perfect for creating a soft overall glow to a room but offer ample light when reading.
4. Weathered Brass Black Shade Hardwire Swing Arm Wall Lamp
Traditional library lighting in brass and black is as old as Colonial Williamsburg. No worries if you like this look but want it a tad more modern. A major trend in home design is aging brass to look funky and industrial. The color combination is classic yet the styling “on point.”
5. Murray Feiss Argento Collection Wall Sconce 6. Hinkley Congress Brushed Caramel Wall Sconce
Brass lighting has a warm patina that is so elegant. The antique look can replicate the industrial look which is so popular or a great take on Art Deco. Either way, thye are great wall sconces for the home library.
