    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are modern wall sconces?

    Modern wall sconces are contemporary wall lights with clean, minimal forms: simple tubes, discs or linear shapes in matte metal, glass or plaster, often with integrated LEDs. At Eleish Van Breems Home we stock modern wall sconces across finishes. Compare living room wall sconces for room-specific options.

    How do I choose modern wall sconces for hard-wired versus plug-in?

    Choose modern wall sconces by wiring first: hard-wired fixtures give a clean look but need an electrician and a junction box, while plug-in styles mount easily and show a cord. Decide which suits the wall before you buy. For older character instead, see vintage wall sconces.

    Where do modern wall sconces work well?

    Flanking a bed or mirror, lining a hallway, or highlighting a piece of art, modern wall sconces work well, adding useful light without visual clutter. Keep the style consistent through a space. Modern sconces also pair well with older furniture, creating a balanced contrast between contemporary lighting and vintage or antique pieces. For a higher tier, see luxury sconces. 

    What bulbs suit modern wall sconces?

    Warm-white LED bulbs usually suit modern wall sconces, in the shape the fixture is designed for, often compact or integrated; check the base type, wattage limit and colour temperature listed in the product details. Aim for a warm 2700K glow. Browse the wider sconces range.
