Wall Lights & Sconces

Wall lights do the work that ceiling fixtures cannot: light at eye level, grazing light across a textured wall, and reading light that does not wake the person next to you. They are also the fixture most often left out of an electrical layout and the hardest to add later, because every one needs a point in the wall before plastering.

This section covers bedside and headboard sconces, vanity and mirror lights, up-down profiles for corridors and staircases, and picture lights for art walls. Finishes run through brass, antique brass, matt black, chrome and white.

If a wall point is already fixed and you are matching a fitting to it, note the height and the distance from the corner before coming in. Swapping a sconce is simple; moving the point is not.
