Glam wall sconces bring the reflective drama of crystal and polished metal to vertical surfaces. Flanking a mirror in an entryway, framing a headboard in a master bedroom, or lining a formal dining room, these fixtures deliver accent light and visual richness in equal measure. Candle-style arms, crystal backplates, and mirrored shades are the defining details.

Placement and spacing determine how well glam sconces perform. For flanking applications, mount them at 60 inches from the floor to center and space them 28 to 36 inches apart. For bedroom applications beside a headboard, 60 inches from the floor works well for most bed heights. Always use dimmable bulbs to control the intensity of the light and the atmosphere of the room.

We carry glam wall sconces from Arteriors, Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting, Corbett Lighting, Crystorama, and Allegri. Free shipping on orders over $199 across Canada.

Buying guide
How to Choose Glam Wall Sconces

Mounting height, spacing, and finish are the three decisions that determine whether glam wall sconces look intentional or awkward.

Set the mounting height
In living rooms and bedrooms, mount sconces at 60 inches from the floor to center. In entryways flanking a door, 66 inches works well. In bathrooms flanking a mirror, mount at 75 to 80 inches from the floor to center for face-level light.
Space pairs correctly
For flanking applications beside artwork or a mirror, space pairs 28 to 36 inches apart center to center. For hallway applications, space sconces 8 to 10 feet apart along the corridor for even illumination without dark spots.
Match the finish
Gold and polished brass sconces complement warm interiors with wood tones and cream walls. Chrome and polished nickel suit cooler, more contemporary spaces. Match your sconce finish to the dominant metal in the room's hardware and plumbing fixtures.
Layer your lighting
Wall sconces provide accent and mood light, not primary illumination. Pair them with a central ceiling fixture for ambient coverage and add table lamps where task light is needed. A dimmer on the sconce circuit lets you control the atmosphere independently.

Common questions
Glam Wall Sconces FAQ
What defines glam wall sconces?
Glam wall sconces use crystal arms, polished metal backplates, and reflective shades to deliver accent light with strong decorative presence. They are most at home in formal spaces including entryways, dining rooms, master bedrooms, and powder rooms.
How high should I mount glam wall sconces?
In most rooms, mount wall sconces at 60 inches from the floor to the center of the fixture. In entryways and hallways where ceiling height is taller, 66 inches works better. For bathroom applications flanking a mirror, mount at 75 to 80 inches to position light at face level.
Do glam wall sconces need to be hardwired?
Most wall sconces are hardwired fixtures that connect to a standard electrical box. Plug-in sconce options exist and can be used without an electrician, with the cord run discreetly behind furniture or along the wall. Check the product listing for hardwire versus plug-in options.
Are glam wall sconces dimmable?
Most glam wall sconces accept dimmable bulbs and work with a standard dimmer switch. Dimming is strongly recommended for sconces used in bedrooms and dining rooms, where controlling light level is key to setting the right atmosphere.
Can glam wall sconces be used in a bathroom?
Yes, provided the sconce carries a damp location UL listing if it will be mounted inside the bathroom. For placements near the sink or shower, a wet-rated fixture is required. Check the product specifications for location rating before purchasing.
