Light You can use your lighting to dramatically change the look of your home. As an example, bright overhead lighting can cause a home to look sterile. This lighting isn't flattering to anything. You'll find lamps to be a good alternative, but they can leave dark areas and you have to manually turn each one on and off. Another option you might look into is wall sconce lighting.

 

Wall sconce lighting provides options other lighting styles don't offer. You can get styles which produce uplighting, or light that shines up towards the ceiling, or downlighting, which points towards the floor. Each one has specific benefits and will work in different areas. A major benefit to downlighting is that, as it lights the floor, people don't have to worry about balance or stepping on things. It is generally a softer light than uplighting is. Uplighting is often used as an accent, such as by being placed under a picture or on an accent wall. Vaulted and raised ceilings can also be accented using them.

 

Once you've settled on wall sconce lighting, you should think about a few things. Style is very important. You can find a style to fit any home. The installation is another major consideration. It is recommended to install sconces at a height of 6', with about 10' in between each sconce. Don't forget your other household members if you want to install higher or lower. You can avoid blinding them with the light sources by installing the sources above eye level. If have a raised ceiling, you might want to place the sconces higher, so that the top of your room isn't dark.

 

If you have other kinds of lighting and want to switch to wall sconce lighting, you should make sure that have an electrician install them. Since the sconces are wired into the wiring of your home, it isn't something you should do yourself unless you are very familiar with electrical work.
