Lighting Designing Using Organic Modern Wall Sconces
Wall sconces are lights that mount to the wall – and they’re fabulous for elevating your interior and exterior spaces.
Wall lights are another way to add layers to your lighting scheme, which is handy depending on the mood you’re going for. Some are meant to be hardwired while others can be plugged into an ordinary outlet.
Natural wall sconces come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and sustainable materials, including wood, glass, bamboo, rattan, metal, and even ceramic. Whether you’re going for a mountain modern look or cozy cottage feel, organic wall sconces are perfect for ambient lighting, both indoors and outdoors. They can add character to your entryway and elegantly illuminate an outdoor path or interior hallway. In essence, natural wall sconces are a great way to highlight the alluring features of your home. And here’s the best places to put them…
One of our favorite spots for the natural look and feel of organic wall sconces is in gathering areas. Putting a sconce on either side of the fireplace to frame this focal point inside a home helps to counterbalance other items in the space. Or instead of lamps next to the bed, wall sconces free up bedside table space and add a unique design element to the bedroom.
Wall lights are also interesting alternatives to overhead hallways lighting. A long hallway lined with a few dramatic sconces is alluring and will draw in your attention. We love woven natural wood wall sconces for illuminating a longer hallway or staircase.
Outdoor areas of the home will also benefit from wall sconces. A lot of times, this is the only way to incorporate exterior lighting… Then there’s design opportunities in the bathroom, such as next to a freestanding bathtub.
From farmhouse to contemporary modern -- you’ve got options for every room. When there’s a lot of action going on, having the overhead lights on in addition to wall sconces helps to illuminate the space. Whereas, if it’s later at night and everyone is winding down, turning off overhead lighting and keeping the wall sconces on promotes the rest and relaxation vibe.
What's the Difference Between Wall Sconces & Natural Flush Mount Lighting?
Both are mounted directly on the surface. The difference here is the location, when it comes to flush mount lights vs. sconce lighting. Wall mounted scones typically are used as accent lighting in spaces like hallways, exterior areas of the home, and in the primary or living areas of the home. Whereas natural flush mount lights sit flush against your ceiling. This makes flush mount lights especially appealing in areas where ceiling height is low or the space doesn’t call for chandeliers or pendants. But you still want something more than just standard can lighting in the ceiling. Minimalist, clean lines and a matte finish characterize the organic flush mount lighting look!
Sometimes wall sconces use decorative backplates or brackets. These are incorporated for aesthetics as well as to help mount a light fixture securely. If you’re looking for a modern woven style light, a natural wall sconce with a metal backplate and woven rattan shade may be the perfect fit for a range of spaces. Or if a transitional look is more your speed, a wall sconce with a brushed brass adjustable arm and teal metal shade may be the perfect way to add color to a space. Swing arm wall sconces are perfect for evening reading without disturbing your partner. Or, task lighting beside your bathroom vanity and kitchen sink.
What Are the Benefits of Wall Mount Lighting?
We love using wall mount lighting to light up areas inside a home as well as outside in the entry, patios, and backyard. Natural wall mount light with shades made from organic materials and modern shapes can be low profile fixtures that takes the place of a can light. These can be crafted from metal, wood, natural fabrics, rattan, cement and the like. These lights are decorative and provide ambient lighting without hard glares. What's more, glowing light from natural wall sconces illuminates walking areas beautifully and can actually tie your room decor together eloquently.
Sconce lighting illuminates busy areas, like entryways and home offices with stylish, low-profile silhouettes. In stairwells, wall mounted lights are functional and guide you safely during dark evenings.
If you're going for that nature-made look, the style of organic wall sconce lighting is often wabi sabi, meaning there’s lots of texture and irregularities in the natural materials.
Above all, modern organic wall sconces enhance your existing lighting decor. They fill in the dark corners that your chandeliers or pendant lights may not reach. Natural wall sconces come in a range of designs to complement your primary light source and invite balance and warm lighting into your home. The real question is why not incorporate some wall lights into your layered lighting theme?

How to Choose Lighting Direction: Uplighting vs Downlighting?
Wall sconces cast pools of light downwards, upwards, or in both directions. Downward-facing natural wall sconces channel light towards the floor. This makes your larger rooms appear more intimate which is great for mood lighting.
If you prefer brighter lights, upward-facing wall sconces direct light towards the ceiling. Modern organic wall sconces create the illusion of more light inside your home. They can be designed to reflect light off mirrors, glass and other surfaces to maximize your natural lighting. For the best of both worlds, double wall sconces direct equal amounts of light in both directions. Create a harmonious ambiance in your bathroom, hallway, or outdoor patio.
For outdoors, downlighting can come from a home’s soffits or landscaping lighting can create the uplight effect. Both shine onto a home’s walls for a dramatic and beautiful effect. Accent lighting can take your home’s design at night from good to fabulous. Plus, more lighting outdoors is a deterrent for break-ins.
Hard Wired vs Plug-in Wall Sconces
Hardwired wall sconces give you a clean, wire-free aesthetic in your home. They tap into the main electricity supply and you can control them via light switches. As always, we recommend using a licensed electrician for hard wire installation.
Plug in wall sconces are a simpler alternative that do not require an electrician's help. Just mount the light onto the wall and plug it into a standard outlet. You can install them onto your wall the same way you would a shelf or picture frame. Sounds like your next DIY project, right?
