Finding the Right Wall Lights and Sconces for You
From the kitchen to the bedroom and everywhere in between, there is one major part of home decor that you definitely want to master: lighting. Carefully selected vintage sconces and wall lights can do wonders in establishing mood and highlighting your distinctive personality.
We’re a long way from the candelabra-inspired chandeliers of the medieval era. Lighting is no longer merely practical, and lighting designers have been creating and reinventing lighting solutions for eons. Because of the advancements crafted by these venturesome makers, we now have the opportunity to bring unique, customizable lighting solutions into our homes.
It’s never been easier to create dramatic bedrooms, cozy kitchen areas and cheerful bars than it is today. Think of an elegant wall sconce as functional and as a work of art, adding both light and style to your hallways, whimsical kids’ rooms and elsewhere.
When choosing a lighting solution, first determine what your needs are: Will you opt for a moody or a bright feel? The room that will serve as your home office will need adequate lighting — think “the brighter, the better” for this particular setting.
For the bedroom, bedside wall lamps with warm-temperature bulbs instead of bedside table lamps could be the way to go to induce a sense of calm or intimacy. Try to match the style of the wall light or sconce that you’re installing to the overall design scheme of your room. It’s never “just a light.” You should approach the lighting of a room with a mindset that is one part practical and one part aesthetics-driven.
Let 1stDibs help you set the mood with the right antique and vintage wall lights and sconces for your home. Our collection includes every kind of fixture, from sculptural works by Austrian craftsman J.T. Kalmar to chic industrial-style wall sconces, from adjustable painted aluminum wall lamps designed by Artemide to a wide variety of minimalist mid-century modern masterpieces.
Questions About Hanging Wall Lamps
- What is a hanging lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021A hanging lamp is a light fitting that is suspended from the ceiling usually by a chain or a metal rod. They are generally used as a decorative fixture in homes, hotels and offices. Find a collection of antique and vintage hanging lamps on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Typically, the best way to hang wall shelves on a wall is through the studs. The studs are the strong vertical beams that form the frames of walls. You can locate them using a tool called a stud finder. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of wall shelves.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Arc lamp is the name of a lamp that hangs over a sofa or chair. Base designs vary in size and shape but all support one or more arcing necks, each bearing a shade. Typically, arc lamps have dome shades. However, dome shades may also differ. Find a collection of arc lamps on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A tapestry is a fabric wall hanging typically seen as a work of art. Sometimes they have more functional uses, such as room dividers or curtains. Many tapestries are woven works of art, but others can be sewn pieces of fabric like quilts. Shop a collection of tapestries from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021Woven wall hangings are normally called tapestries. Tapestry is a form of textile art, traditionally woven by hand on a loom. Tapestry is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp threads are hidden in the completed work, unlike most woven textiles, where both the warp and the weft threads may be visible. Find a collection of antique and vintage woven wall hangings on 1stDibs today.
- How do I use a hanging oil lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To use a hanging oil lamp, remove the oil font from the base and fill it three-quarters of the way with clear lamp oil. Return the font and close the base. Twist the knob to raise the wick until it is a little less than 0.25 inches above the burner. Light with a match or lighter. After extinguishing and allowing time for cooling, trim the burned end off of the wick. You'll find a collection of hanging oil lamps on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2024The difference between a sconce and a wall lamp is that a sconce is a type of wall lamp or wall lighting fixture. The term sconce is usually used to refer to a decorative lighting fixture whereas a wall lamp might refer to recessed lighting, spotlights or track lighting.
Usually installed in pairs or groups, sconces are decorative fixtures used to light hallways, or placed on either side of a door or bed. In addition to ambient illumination, they can provide upward or downward directional lighting, or both.
