Today I'm turning the light on sconces - from what they are and how to use them, to upcoming trends.

A sconce is a light fixture which attached directly to a wall instead of hanging from the ceiling or supporting itself with its own base.

Sconces can be placed in any room and provide both lighting and points of interest. The most popular placement is in the bathroom on each side of the mirror. This helps create even more lighting for grooming.

Sconces are generally placed 3/4 of the distance up the wall as measured from the floor to the ceiling.  So if your measurement is 8 feet, you would place your sconce at 6 feet.

Trends in sconces include energy efficient and led style, while brushed steel and chrome continue to be popular finishes.

With styles ranging from modern and transitional to industrial and country, there is something for every style at  Lamps Plus.
