Lighting the living room with wall sconces

In the living room, wall sconces add light at eye level, which softens shadows and makes the space feel larger and warmer. The living room does a bit of everything, from movie nights to reading and entertaining, so it benefits most from layered light: an overhead fixture for general light, lamps and sconces for ambience and focused light for reading.

How to choose living room wall sconces

• Ambient layer: Use pairs of sconces to frame a fireplace, a sofa or artwork, about 60 to 66 inches from the floor.
• Installation: Each product page states whether the sconce is hardwired or plug-in. Hardwired sconces need a junction box and should be installed by a licensed electrician.
• Color temperature: Warm white (2700K to 3000K) for relaxing spaces; 3000K to 3500K where you need to see detail.
