sconce roundup

sconces-1
d*s reader kristin just moved up to lovely beacon, ny with her husband and needed some help with finding some great sconces for over her mantle. so i thought it would be fun to do a big roundup, especially since i’ve been trying to do some more lighting posts lately. i’ve chosen a wide range of prices, styles and types (hard-wire, plug-in, candle) so i hope you’ll enjoy the guide. as always, the guide continues well past the fold so please click here to see the full post or just click “read more” below. looking for more product guides? click here to see the rest.

I am desperately looking for bedside table lamps that would clip onto my headboard, so that I can move my bed around and not attach my lights to the wall…any ideas? Thanks!

oh goodness me oh my what a perfectly lovely guide! thanks so much, grace! is it possible to hang every single one of these over my mantle? would that be too much? ;) thank you for this incredibly beautiful and useful inspiration.

As a loyal d*s reader, I just wanted to welcome Kristin to Beacon - I’ve lived up here the past 3 1/2 years and loved every minute! (and thanks for ALL the helpful shopping guides!)

interesting modern takes on the sconce. but why nothing vintage or antique or antique or vintage inspired?

The eclipse sconce is sexy.

I have been thinking so much about sconces lately, I keep seeing potential places for them in my home, what is up with that! I love the circles one and most of the really architectural ones here, man, you really got me thinking!

karyn- you may want to check out Ikea if you are looking for something more economical. I have a sconce from there that you can either clip on or mount to the wall.

Fantastic guide, as usual! I want them ALL.

I’ve got some wall lights that might be of interest in this area - each one is cast in fine bone china and decorated by hand with real gold or block colour decoration.

I love the dogwood sconce! Karyn - here’s another source of ‘clip-on’ bedside lamps that can actually also be wall or table mounted. Under “Bedhead Reading Lights”: http://www.absolute-action.com/

I have the floor lamp that matches the meridian sconce. It’s one of my favorite purchases!!!!
