Good lighting can make or break a room's ambiance, it's such an easy way to add some serious wall lights and make your room look more unique. If you are in the middle of a renovation or you are installing a plug-in sconce, and you don't know how high it should go? Let's share some tips on where the wall light fixtures should be installed.


Wall lamps for living room


There are some things that you want to think about when you are planning for living room/hallway sconces. The usual goal is to evenly light a room. To achieve this you want to keep the light source slightly above your direct eye line. This is so it won’t be too high lighting mainly the ceiling, or too low lighting up the floor.


For living rooms, entryways and hallways these are the general rules. They should be installed between 60" - 72" from the floor to the center of the junction box. For vaulted ceilings go for 66" - 72".

Bedside sconces are a great way to give yourself some extra nightstand real estate, here's what you need to know. Sitting up in your bed and measuring a few inches up from your shoulder.


We like to center the scone to the bedside table. However, depending on the size of the sconce you can go a couple of inches either towards or away from your bed frame.


Bathroom sconce lights


Bathrooms and sconces are like bread and butter, they just go together. But getting the right placement is key for lighting up that beautiful face the way you want it to, here is the general rule.


If you are wanting to flank your mirror (put a sconce on either side of it) then start with a 60"– 65" measurement from floor to the center of the junction box. The main goal is to install the light source around eye level so that your face is nicely lit for doing things like makeup.
