Contemporary Wall Sconces

                 Thinking of wall art but with a purpose? Then contemporary wall sconces are just the thing to look for.

            Contemporary wall sconces are light fixtures that are placed on your wall. Mostly used in hallways, bathrooms, entrance halls, outdoors, and staircases, they offer your home a modern, futuristic theme that is stylish and complements with your chandelier and other light fixtures. Wall sconces offer a warm and inviting environment. They give a soft, glowing light and are beautiful when turned on and vibrant when not in use. 

            Sizes, designs, and styles vary. Wall sconces come in a variety of light shades, colors, designs, and can also use real candles. Most contemporary wall sconces combine metal and glass to create that modern look. Some styles include metallic frames which bounce the light off the wall, providing indirect illumination. Other styles have glass frames or fabric which provide soft light, ideal for general lighting. These can also be customized according to your design and style. Contemporary wall sconces can either have one, two or three lights. They also often come with dimmers which allow you to adjust the brightness of the light. Wall sconces that are placed outdoors can also come with a dawn to dusk sensor to save you the effort of having to turn them on or off. 

            Contemporary wall sconces are typically found in pairs, flanking a bed, mirror, painting, fireplace, door, and window, to name a few. One thing to consider though is whether your chosen wall sconce is ADA compliant. Sconces that are marked as ADA compliant mean that when they are installed they don’t stick out more than four inches from the wall. This ensures that your wall sconce does not block the traffic in hallways and other areas. 

            But all in all, if you want functional and at the same time stylish light fixture, go for contemporary wall sconces – wall art with a purpose.
