Embracing a sentimental autumn ambiance at home - and the timeless, refined lighting fashion that contributes to the enchantment.
In the world of interior design, candle sconces are making a striking comeback as bona fide art pieces. These elegant lighting fixtures are now gracing the walls of art galleries, with some pieces even incorporating candle holders directly into the design.
Alex, an interior designer and art curator, believes that candle sconces offer another reason to avoid the dreaded big light. 'Their soft, warm glow creates a warm, intimate atmosphere that is hard to replicate with harsh lighting,' he explains.
One standout piece is the barely-there bow sconce, rendered in a patinated metal finish. This design strikes a perfect balance between edgy and sweet, adding a touch of sophistication to any space.
While fresh pieces might not traditionally age as well, the Brutalist sconce from Brett Beldock is an exception. Featuring a brassy patina that will deepen and grow more beautiful with time, this sconce is a timeless addition to any home.
Anthropologie's scalloped-edge candle sconce is another versatile decor piece. It can be used as a bedroom lighting idea, dining room decor, or hallway accent, making it a popular choice for homeowners looking to add a touch of coziness and elegance.
Sconces were once a niche lighting idea, but they are now widely available from stores like Zara, H&M Home, Magnolia, Lulu and Georgia, and others. They are even a common sight in hotels, restaurants, and boutiques, adding a touch of sophistication to these establishments.
In cafes like Cafe Zaffri, lantern-like versions of sconces are commonly found above booths, providing a warm, romantic atmosphere.
For those who prefer a flameless option, real, lit candles are considered the chicest choice for sconces, but flameless options are also acceptable. Joanna Gaines' ribbed LED tapers, created for Target, look impressively real, providing a safe and maintenance-free alternative to traditional candles.
Joanna Gaines' double wall sconce design is inspired by ornate antiques and serves as a modern echo. Another innovative design is Audo Copenhagen's sconce, which features a mirrored backplate that reflects the shape of the flame, doubling its impact.
Sconces can be placed next to a mantle to evoke the sense of a real wood-burning fireplace, or in other locations such as dining rooms, kitchen bars, or bare walls. The scalloped-edge candle sconce instantly punches up a space's energy with its playful presence.
Candle sconces are seen as a way to romanticize homes, adding a touch of coziness and enhancing mood. They are especially popular during the cozy season, helping to create the desired vibe going into autumn.
Designer Claudia Muth even used paintings by Casper White with integrated candle holders in a project, demonstrating the versatility of these unique lighting fixtures.
Overall, candle sconces are a popular interior design trend that is here to stay. They offer a romantic, warm, and intimate atmosphere that is hard to replicate with other lighting options. Whether you're looking to add a touch of sophistication to your home or create a cozy, romantic atmosphere, candle sconces are the perfect choice.
