Lighting the staircase with wall sconces

In the staircase, wall sconces add light at eye level, which softens shadows and makes the space feel larger and warmer. Stairs need light on every tread for safety, and stairwells with tall ceilings are also one of the best places in the home for a dramatic fixture.

How to choose staircase wall sconces

• Along the stairs: Mount sconces about 66 inches above the treads and repeat them every 8 to 10 feet up the staircase.
• 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.
