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.

Location	Mounting height	Spacing
