Sconces are lamps for organizing additional or, in some cases, main lighting. They also act as an independent decorative element, completing and complementing the interior. Our ranking presents the 19 best sconces in 4 stylized groups in order of popularity.

How to choose a sconce

To choose a sconce, it is not enough just to decide on the appearance of the lamp, functionality is very important:

1. A local light source, in this case, the sconce fulfills its main task – it illuminates a certain area above the bed, mirror, painting, showcase.
2. Atmospheric lighting is combined with the main source (chandelier). Typically, sconces in this function are chosen with colored glass, which creates a backlight of the appropriate color, setting the mood from intimate to intimate atmosphere.
3. Zoning with a sconce is the simplest and most functional: at each zone in the room there is a lamp that centralizes the composition (zone of play, work, rest, etc.).
4. Central lighting instead of a chandelier. In this case, the sconces are placed on the walls, installing powerful lamps in them. Suitable in corridors and rooms with low ceilings.
5. Decorative sconces are placed on walls or ceilings for beauty, often combining them with the center of the exposition (stucco, column, etc.).
6. Functionality will help narrow the range of choices, it will dictate the transparency of the product and the degree of its decor. Sconces can also differ in design, be single or with two shades, with a glass or polymer shutter.
7. Another way to choose a lamp is to define the overall style of the interior. This can be the direction of the classics, modern hi-tech, baroque or in a free style with an author's presentation. We have collected the most common sconces based on the sales rankings of the largest retail chains.
