Brass Wall Sconces: Discovering The Best Style

If you want to to give your home a timeless, elegant feel, you might want to consider installing brass wall sconces. They date back to a time when electricity was not even a dream, let alone available in a domestic capacity, and indoor lighting was accomplished by hanging torches along stone walls.

That is why the definition of a sconce describes it as a mounted wall fixture that houses a bulb that directs light upward, just like a torch. Obviously, they are functional providing necessary lighting in dark rooms of your home. However, they can also make bold or understated artistic statements about you and your family. You will discover many classic and contemporary designs, which provides you with several choices for lighting your home.

As electrical units, brass wall sconces appear as wall mounts with candles or torches. Obviously, these are outfitted with glass replicas of open flames and not the real thing. The actual bulbs are mounted on arms or extensions that jut out from the base which you can screw or nail into the wall.

Also, the open flames have been replaced with glass light bulbs in the shape of flames or engineered to appear like the subtle glow of a flickering flame. Over time, as the field of interior design grew as an art form, graphic and spatial artists began to develop re-imaginings of this old classic look with contemporary and post-modern flare.

Now when you peruse lighting products, you won't just find a number of traditional looking wall mounted lighting fixtures, but more basic, minimalistic ideas, like the geometric shapes of spheres, cubes, and cones.

If you aren't sure that brass wall sconces are the right thing for your new design ideas, you should compare them with other lighting concepts. For example, you could very easily install a new wall lamp rather than a sconce.

A wall  is very similar to a wall sconce in that it is attached to the wall, and consists of a bulb which is held away from the wall with an arm of some kind.

The biggest difference is that lamps are not restricted to shining only upward. Also, lamps usually consist of a bulb which is covered with a shade. You could also take a look at table lamps and standing lamps too. Other available choices include track lighting which lets you angle several lamps at various spots within the room or recessed lighting.
