This is probably the kind of lighting that has an abundance of variety in design to suit every decorating need. While they are commonly used on walls, sconces may also be installed in ceilings. Some outstanding features of wall sconces are handcrafting and beautiful bronze, brushed steel or satin gold finish of the fixtures. Different glass finishes may be used. To maximize its functionality dimmers can be installed.

Wall sconces are classic light fixtures ideal for rooms where floor space is scarce. Even on the wall, they do not take up too much space. Take this gorgeous hand blown glass wall lamp. It consists of only one tubular bulb with a shade top of only 4.5 inches. It is a bare 15″ in height. And yet it diffuses harsh light for peaceful, soothing mood lighting.
