Foyer Wall Sconces
Wall sconces are a classic way to add general lighting to any room. At your home's entryway or foyer, sconces add a particularly inviting touch! If you're already lighting your home's entry or foyer with an entry light or chandelier, consider supplementing it with a couple of sconces. Here are a few reasons why installing sconces will benefit you and your entryway.
Sconces can make a space more welcoming. More warm, glowing light makes your foyer or entryway look welcoming for you, your family and your visitors.
Sconces can draw attention to accent pieces. Illuminate a large portrait, work of art or mirror in your home's entry/foyer by flanking it with a pair of wall sconces, implementing sconces as accent lighting.
Sconces can bring architectural details to life. Adding sconces to your entry/foyer is particularly useful if you're showcasing architectural details, like fancy wainscoting or a dramatic staircase. If you are really proud of how your foyer looks, show it off with sconces!
Sconces can illuminate the door. You may already use outdoor wall lights to create an inviting effect at your home's entrance. Why not do the same indoors? Sconces are a particularly savvy choice if your door is a feature you'd like to show off. Plus, more light provides more security.
Sconces can decorate and accentuate. Using sconces as decorative lighting in the foyer or entryway is basically like putting some jewelry on the room. They add a little sparkle and can match any decor theme you have. They also don't have huge footprints, so they can fit any size entryway.
Sconces are part of a good light layering scheme. Any room in your house, big or small, will look so much better when lit properly. Click here to read more about light layering.
Adding wall sconces to your home's entry or foyer will take the design to the next level, giving the room an upscale hotel-like feel that will set the tone for the rest of the home.
