By changing the lighting in your home, you can create a whole new look you might not have thought possible. For example, stark over-head lighting makes your home look sterile. This kind of lighting isn't flattering at all. Lamps are a viable alternative, though they leave dark areas in the room and must each be individually turned on and off. You may want to give wall sconce lighting a look.

 

Wall sconce lighting provides options other lighting styles don't offer. You can get styles which produce uplighting, or light that shines up towards the ceiling, or downlighting, which points towards the floor. They all have their benefits and work well in differing situations. Downlighting lights the floor, providing an excellent choice for anyone who has problems with balance or worries about stepping on things. Downlighting is almost always softer than downlighting. Uplighting is used as accent lighting - to highlight pictures or used on accent walls. These fixtures are also great for accenting any vaulted or raised ceilings.

 

If you choose to use wall sconce lighting, you should remember the following information. Style is very important. The variety of styles means you can find a sconce for any home. Another is the installation itself. It is recommended to install sconces at a height of 6', with about 10' in between each sconce. Before going higher or lower, think about the heights of those in your home. They need to be installed above eye level to avoid temporarily blinding others with lights. If have a raised ceiling, you might want to place the sconces higher, so that the top of your room isn't dark.

 

If you have other kinds of lighting and want to switch to wall sconce lighting, you should make sure that have an electrician install them. Since the sconces are wired into the wiring of your home, it isn't something you should do yourself unless you are very familiar with electrical work.
