Candle sconces have been a highlight in wall décor and lighting for centuries. From ancient times when candles were the only lighting option, to the modern day, the sconce has remained a useful and attractive light fixture. The candle sconce has transitioned from the functional to the decorative. The varied designs of candle sconces can fit with any type of décor and any room, whether it be the bathroom, hallway, foyer, or living room. Scrolled wrought iron designs are great as an accent piece either in pairs or as a single decoration. Wrought iron is long lasting and is easy to mount. There are many types of candles one can use including votive and pillar candles. However, modern lighting solutions utilizing electric light bulbs designed to resemble candle sconces are another popular option. One popular design in candle sconces is the mirrored candle wall sconce. The mirror adds an extra dimension to the reflective light from the candle. Finishes from antique bronze, to chrome, to painted metals make it easy to find a candle sconce that complements both one's taste and one's décor. Size is a major consideration when looking for the perfect candle sconce. Candle sconces are usually made for single mini candles or for several small votive holders. When choosing candle sconces, always keep in mind the amount of space required for safety. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for placement carefully to avoid a fire hazard or wall discoloration from smoke. It is also important to use only the type of candle recommended for the sconce design.
