DESIGN sconces
BRIGHTEN UP YOUR STYLE BY JANE RENNYSON
While designing a room, elements like paint, furniture, artwork and accessories may do the heavy lifting, but none of these careful selections matters without proper illumination. Lighting is a delicate art; too bright can feel cold and jarring, too dim leaves much in the shadows. But if you can get the lighting just right, you’ll be rewarded with a room you’ll be proud to let shine. Experts agree that a successful lighting scheme uses a combination of ambient, task and accent lighting, and wall sconces are an important component of this lighting formula. They are perhaps one of the most versatile light fixtures since they can be used for all three: Ambient in the way they can illuminate an area, task in that they can be placed exactly where you want them to go and shine where you want them to shine, and finally, accent lighting at its finest, since sconces offer such customized style and design. Sconces can suit just about any taste, and are available in myraid shapes, colors, finishes and sizes.
