Enhance the Character of the Room - Wall Sconce

In all my years of interior decorating I have seen almost everything there is available to decorate inside walls. When it comes to the little touches of wall decor that add something special to the overall theme of the room, the wall sconce is always an addition that enhances the character of the room.

There is no excuse to have an empty wall anywhere in your house. With all the style options you have the opportunity to express yourself and display your creative personality.

All lighting inside a building that is not exposed to outside weather conditions is known as interior lighting. Wall sconces are fixtures that have only one light. Functionality and style to fit the theme of the room is what you are looking for.

It creates a welcoming atmosphere with its illumination, color and design. It can provide soft romantic lighting or bright enough lighting to read by. It fits in wherever space is needed and provides that decorative touch that we all desire.

It will even make your room larger than it is. Another great feature of the wall sconce is that it is capable of highlighting other artwork or function as a gentle aura of light to accent features of the room such as your fireplace. This will also direct the eyes to the spot you want yourself and others to notice.

You can easily mount the sconces to your wall with little or no installation needed. There might be a need for installation when it comes to electric sconces, but by adding a dimmer switch you will be able to save on your electric bill. You can also have Candle Wall Sconces in any size, color or scent that you wish.

Dating back to early America, the candle holder wall sconce was the sole way of lighting a room. Today wall sconces are in use in every room of the home and on the outside walls as well. One of my friends actually has a water system that the candles float in and lights up their patio.

To brighten up the room you should try votive or taper wall sconces. For a soft romantic mood and feel try tea light candles to set up the atmosphere for the night ahead.

My niece has a couple of toddlers and purchased several of these because they are high enough up on the walls to be child proof. I have been told by her over and over again how much more comfortable she is with wall sconces instead of floor lighting with power cords lying on the floor.

There are so many styles to choose from such as Victorian, Colonial, Contemporary and Western. There are also many materials to choose from like copper, metal, wrought iron, glass, ceramic and others.

This is something that will stay within almost any budget. Inexpensive and expensive styles are all available and you will not be able to tell the difference. Only your wallet will know for sure.

At one time the only place to see these in were hallways and corridors, but not today. If you want to create a Wow factor with direct or indirect lighting, you can't lose with the Wall Sconce.
