What’s not to like about wall sconces? chandelier-type_wall_sconce.JPG

They are a great way to add accent lighting to many areas of your home.

They are rarely the focal point, yet many times they accentuate the focal point in a room.

They are a favorite item to add to the interior decor by custom homebuilders and homebuyers alike.

I see hard-wired wall sconces in either custom homes or upscale homes the majority of the time.

It shows that the builder is really trying to cater to his/her customers wants and needs.

I am constantly perplexed, though, as to why home builders in more ordinary homes don’t employ them more often.

A little wall sconce goes a long way, in my eyes.

 

Where To Put Wall Sconces

Here are some of the many places in your home that wall sconces would look great:

  • fireplace
  • stairway
  • exterior garage
  • home theater room
  • bathroom
  • foyer
  • front entry
  • dining room
  • hallway
  • kitchen

 

…and I’m sure you can think of some others.

 

Photos Of Wall Sconces

I’ve got some photos of wall sconces here that I think you’ll enjoy.

These were taken while my wife and I were looking at homes under construction in our area, as well as some open houses, etc.

Maybe you’ll be able to get a few new ideas for your home!

I started as a home-stalker… visiting brand new homes under construction in the neighborhoods near my house. That inspired me to write about home building and home renovation projects — chronicling homes during different phases of construction from a consumer's point-of-view. Basically, the tips you'll find in my articles are a collection of checklists for what I think should (and should not) go into building or remodeling a quality home.

LynnetteMy husband and I have been through the home building process... from scratch... more than once! (And we still have a few pieces of property that we might build on in the future.) So we definitely have some helpful tips to share when it comes to designing your dream home and building a house from the ground up. We've also learned that the 'fun' doesn't end once the house is built. Our clever home maintenance hacks will save you time and money each year that you live in the home. And... since everyone's house eventually needs a little remodeling (as has ours), we've got some ridiculously helpful home renovation tips as well! Whenever I’m not DIYing something around the house or adding to my Dream Home Wish List, you can find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
