The popularity of wall sconces has taken off this year, and for good reason.  They’re an incredibly versatile wall light fixture.  Not to mention beautiful to look at.

Wall sconces also come in a variety of different styles and can be placed in any room.

In the past, the only time I would encounter a wall sconce or any wall light fixture would be while staying at a hotel.  They’re used to light hallways and bedsides.  They create soft lighting that brings a beautiful ambiance to any space.

The candle wall sconce was very popular in the 17th and 18th centuries and can still be found in their original state in historic homes and buildings.
