Adding hurricane candle sconces into your home is an extremely elegant and clever way of beautifying your space using candles. When you have to choose between different lighting options, you will find that various fixtures come with their own pros and cons. Although an electric light fixture is the most versatile and popular form of lighting a home, there's a certain appeal and charm to candle lighting fixtures, most especially wall-mount hurricane candle sconces.
Just like all other lighting fixtures, hurricane candle sconces for walls come in various finishes. Bronze finishes are on-trend and particularly attractive options. Chrome, black, white, pewter, and satin nickel are other popular choices of today's homeowners.
If you are having a hard time deciding on a finish, take a close look at your space. Then, determine the color of your throw pillows, decorative elements, curtains, and carpeting. You can complement the color of your new wall sconce to the color of the accent pieces already present within your living space. By doing so, you will be able to pull the area together. You can also match your sconce's finish to the finish of your faucets and door hardware. This will ensure you maintain a cohesive and consistent look.
An excellent starting guideline would be to hang the fixtures at eye level, which is approximately 5.5-6 ft. However, the ceiling's height and your fixture's size will affect the light's proper placement. An important point that you should remember is to ensure your wall lighting can't be reached by children.
Wall sconces are commonly installed in hallways. Long, dark corridors, however, can quickly start resembling runways if you add too many lights. A fixture every 8-10 feet will prove to be adequate. Of course, you may want less or more space in between every fixture depending on the size of your fixture and room. Staggering lights so they are not lining up across your hallway would appear to be a natural configuration.
Installing 1-2 wall sconces will serve as a room's decorative statement.
The next thing you need to consider is how far a fixture protrudes from a wall. A narrow hallway, room or stairwell that receives heavy traffic is best served by a fixture that has a low profile. Your best options would be ADA-compliant wall sconces as they're mostly 4-inches deep.
Apart from all the aspects that we've already mentioned, you also need to ensure that you have set a budget for a new lighting source. Depending on the fixture that you select, expect to pay anywhere between $40 and $10,000.
