Sconces
Sconces
Sconces are decorative wall fixtures that are used to provide ambient or task lighting in a room. They are typically installed on either side of a door, window, mirror, painting, or other wall feature. They can also be used to light a hallway or staircase or provide bedside lighting. The Lighting Corner offers amazing wall sconces for your home or office space in Grandville and Grand Haven, Michigan.
Wall Sconces can be used for ambient, task or accent lighting.
When used correctly they provide illumination as well as safety while giving an air of sophistication and elegance to your home. They are popular in all areas including hallways, dining rooms, studies, over fireplaces and beside mirrors in baths.

Wall Sconce Trends
When it comes to wall sconce trends, the big trend right now is geometric shapes. Geometric shapes are popping up in wall sconces in all kinds of different ways, from simple straight lines to complex shapes like cubes, hexagons, and octagons. These geometric shapes can be used to create interesting patterns or to add a modern look to a room.
Another popular trend in wall sconces is the use of natural materials. Natural materials like wood, stone, and metal are all being used to create unique and beautiful pieces. These materials bring a touch of the outdoors into the home and can be used to create both modern and rustic looks.
