The 10 Best Wall Sconces

You won't have to shell out big bucks for an elegant home with the Design House One Light (appx. $20), as it gives you graceful, frosted, fluted glass and an oil-rubbed bronze base, but without the high price tag you might expect from a stylish, yet understated, choice.

This ChangM Modern LED (about $30) is aptly named, with a look that's clean and contemporary and adaptable to just about any type of low-key or minimalist decorative scheme. Plus, you can mount it either horizontally or vertically, which definitely increases its versatility.

The Designers Impressions Juno (about $56) has a decidedly bathroom vibe to it, and when you add two 60-watt bulbs, it should give you enough illumination to complete your morning or evening ablutions. If you have a small space, don't worry, as it's not too wide, at 14.5 inches.

You could opt for a standard fixture, like you'd see in homes across the world, or you could show off your flair with the Design Toscano Elephant (appx. $68) and bring a distinctly African atmosphere to your space. Just note that they don't use electricity, as they're candle holders.

Although the Linea Tamb (around $39) resembles something you'd see in a hotel, it's an inexpensive, pleasing option that won't draw the eye from any decorative focal points nearby. Because it sticks out over 7 inches, you might avoid putting it in a truly narrow room.

An order of the 360 Lighting Wray (around $100) includes two lamps that give you downward-pointing task illumination, good for reading or working at the computer. You won't have to struggle to get comfortable, either, as the articulated arm on each adjusts vertically.

Those who have a nautical or antique decorative scheme might appreciate the Deco 79 Hanging Lantern (around $41), that is, as long as they have the room for it. With a length of 19 inches and a base that's 7 inches wide, it's not exactly what you'd call small.

For the exterior of your abode, there's the Possini Euro Xane (about $130), which is uncomplicated, yet sophisticated, with a bronze finish that's rated for wet outdoor use. As a bonus, depending upon your needs, you can choose between halogen bulb and LED models.

With its industrial feel, the KingSo Wire Cage (about $30) would fit just as well in warehouses and lofts as it does in your rustic or vintage living area. You'll get two with every order, and both offer 240-degree adjustability, so you can point them up or down.

These Hanging Mason Jars (about $20) offer farmhouse chic anyone could love, creating a laid-back mood in residences, cafes, kitchens, and more. They don't require you to call an electrician, either, as they're filled with battery-powered fairy lights.
