Bathroom Sconces For Sale on 1stDibs
There is a range of bathroom sconces for sale on 1stDibs. Each of these unique bathroom sconces was constructed with extraordinary care, often using ceramic, glass and porcelain. Bathroom sconces have been produced for many years, with earlier versions available from the 20th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 21st Century. Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern and Art Deco bathroom sconces are consistently popular styles. Large bathroom sconces can prove too imposing for some spaces, so the smaller bathroom sconces available at 1stDibs — each spanning 2.5 inches in width — may make for a better choice. Bathroom sconces have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by Ifö Electric, Sigvard Bernadotte and Wilhelm Wagenfeld are consistently popular.
How Much are Bathroom Sconces?
Bathroom sconces can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $411, while the lowest priced sells for $234 and the highest can go for as much as $2,803.
Finding the Right Wall Lights And Sconces for You
From the kitchen to the bedroom and everywhere in between, there is one major part of home decor that you definitely want to master: lighting. Carefully selected vintage sconces and wall lights can do wonders in establishing mood and highlighting your distinctive personality.
We’re a long way from the candelabra-inspired chandeliers of the medieval era. Lighting is no longer merely practical, and lighting designers have been creating and reinventing lighting solutions for eons. Because of the advancements crafted by these venturesome makers, we now have the opportunity to bring unique, customizable lighting solutions into our homes.
It’s never been easier to create dramatic bedrooms, cozy kitchen areas and cheerful bars than it is today. Think of an elegant wall sconce as functional and as a work of art, adding both light and style to your hallways, whimsical kids’ rooms and elsewhere.
When choosing a lighting solution, first determine what your needs are: Will you opt for a moody or a bright feel? The room that will serve as your home office will need adequate lighting — think “the brighter, the better” for this particular setting.
For the bedroom, bedside wall lamps with warm-temperature bulbs instead of bedside table lamps could be the way to go to induce a sense of calm or intimacy. Try to match the style of the wall light or sconce that you’re installing to the overall design scheme of your room. It’s never “just a light.” You should approach the lighting of a room with a mindset that is one part practical and one part aesthetics-driven.
Let 1stDibs help you set the mood with the right antique and vintage wall lights and sconces for your home. Our collection includes every kind of fixture, from sculptural works by Austrian craftsman J.T. Kalmar to chic industrial-style wall sconces, from adjustable painted aluminum wall lamps designed by Artemide to a wide variety of minimalist mid-century modern masterpieces.
