Faqs: Bedroom wall sconce ideas

Where should wall sconces be placed in a bedroom?

• Install wall sconces 55–60 inches from the floor for a comfortable adult height or 30–36 inches above the mattress for ideal bedside reading light. Ensure sconce shades are at chin level when seated for the best lighting effect.

How do I choose a bedroom wall sconce?

• Match the style to your decor—clean lines for modern spaces or ornate designs for vintage looks. Define its purpose: reading, ambient lighting, or decoration. Adjustable and dimmable sconces offer flexibility. Decide between wired or plug-in options based on your installation needs. For non-wired installation options, visit how to install wall sconces without wiring.

Where should a light fixture be placed in a bedroom?

• The light should be positioned at eye level, especially when illuminating artwork. Pendant or semi-flush ceiling fixtures are typically centered in the room, often above the bed. It's important not to hang them too low—generally 8 to 12 inches from the ceiling—to maintain a balanced look and proper lighting.

Where to put wall lights in the bedroom?

• Place wall lights in the bedroom about 20-24 inches from the edge of the bed and align them with the height of your bedside table for optimal lighting.
