# Title: Gold Wall Sconces


## Description: Gold wall sconces put a warm reflective surface at eye level, where the body does as much work switched off as switched on. It catches daylight and stops a wall from reading flat, then turns the light amber once the lamp comes on. Bodies range from slim arms to solid backplates. How to choose gold wall sconces Direction comes first. An open top throws light up the wall and softens a ceiling. A downward shade puts a defined pool on the floor or on a nightstand. A shade closed at both ends washes only the wall around it and works as a marker rather than a source, which suits a corridor or a stair landing. Then size the backplate. A wide plate covers an old junction box opening and reads solid on a large wall. A small round or rectangular plate almost disappears, which is what you want in a pair flanking a mirror. Warm metal against deep green, navy, plum or warm white gives the strongest contrast; against a pale gray wall it goes quiet. Finally look at how the arm carries the shade. A long arm shifts the light away from the wall and casts a bigger shadow behind it. A body held tight to the plate keeps the outline clean. Where the room already holds polished hardware, a brushed body keeps the wall from getting busy. Mounting height and projection for gold wall sconces These are the figures American electricians and designers work to when they set a box. General height: 60 to 66 inches from the finished floor to the center of the backplate. Beside a bed: 30 to 36 inches above the mattress, or level with a seated shoulder. Flanking a mirror: around 60 to 65 inches high and 36 to 40 inches apart. Projection: under 5 inches where people pass close, more on an open wall. Height is set by the junction box, so decide it before the drywall closes. In an existing wall the box position is fixed, and a fixture with a taller backplate is the simplest way to hide a box that sits an inch or two off. Which gold sconce for which wall Sconce type Best in What it does Price here Vanity bars Above a mirror, over a basin An even line across a face with no shadow $129 to $489 Glass globes A hallway, a bedroom, a bathroom A warm metal frame around a soft lit ball $119 to $240 Crystal detail A formal room, a dressing area Facets picking up the gold and throwing points $129 to $3,129 Alabaster and ceramic A bedroom, a quiet corridor A matte surface against a polished stem $169 to $569 Wood plates and shelves A bedside wall, a reading nook Warm grain behind a metal arm and shade $129 to $219 Slim rods and reading spots Beside a bed, along a narrow wall A thin body and a beam aimed where you want it $99 to $350 Terms used here Integrated LED, not replaceable The diodes sit inside the body with no socket at all, which is how a large part of this range is built. Nothing is relamped, so the rated hours and the color temperature printed on the product page are what you keep. E14 candelabra socket The narrow screw fitting used by many of the bar fixtures here. It takes a slim bulb, which keeps a multi lamp bar from looking heavy over a mirror. Buy a matching set so the tone stays even across the whole bar. Hardwired to a junction box The fixture connects to the wiring inside a box set in the wall, with no plug showing. Most sconces on this page install that way. The backplate has to be wide enough to cover the box, so compare the two measurements first. Plug in models Several fixtures here come with a cord and a plug instead, so no electrical work is needed. The cord hangs visibly from the backplate, which some designs make a feature of with a braided or twisted cable. IP20 The dry indoor rating carried by almost everything on this page. It suits a bedroom, a hall or a bathroom away from the spray. It is not enough for a shower zone or an outside wall, where a sealed body is required. Questions about warm metal on the wall Should the fixture match the door hardware? It helps but it is not required. Matching the nearest metal, usually a door lever or a cabinet pull in the same sightline, makes the room read deliberate. Two tones across a room are fine as long as one of them repeats somewhere else rather than appearing once. Which wall colors suit this finish? Deep and warm ones. Green, navy, plum, clay and warm white all set the metal off, and it sits naturally beside marble and walnut. On a cool gray or stark white wall the outline flattens, so a shade with more depth or a darker antique tone holds the shape better. How much of the room will one light? Less than people expect. A single sconce covers about a 6 foot stretch of wall as an accent, not a whole room. Plan them in pairs or in a run, and treat them as a layer beside a ceiling fixture or a lamp rather than the only source. Continue with Black Wall Sconces, White Wall Sconces, Brushed Nickel Wall Sconces and Copper Wall Sconces. This page is part of Wall Lamps. Do wall sconces have to be installed in pairs? No. A pair is the convention when the fixtures flank something symmetrical, a mirror, a bed, a fireplace or a window, and in that case equal distance from the center matters more than the distance itself. A single fixture is right when what it marks is single: a reading chair, a stair landing, a doorway, a piece of art. A spaced run of three or four along one wall is a third arrangement and needs no symmetry at all. The only layout that reads as unfinished is one sconce alone on a wide blank wall. How much does a gold wall sconce cost on this page? Between $99 and $3,129 across 102 fixtures here. The median lands at $189 and nine in ten come in under $359. One large crystal fixture accounts for the top of that range; most of the page sits between $120 and $260. What wall color suits a gold finish? Warm neutrals, deep greens and off whites all work, and the reason is contrast rather than matching. Gold reads as a warm metal, so it stands out against a cool or dark wall and almost disappears against a beige or tan one of similar value. On a white wall the fixture becomes a graphic object, which suits a plain modern room. On a dark wall the light itself becomes the feature and the metal frame recedes.
