Wall sconces should be placed between 60 to 72 inches above the floor. This is standard height for optimal illumination.
Wall sconces should also be spaced about 5- to 7-feet apart to create a balanced dimension look.
A wall sconce is a wall-mounted light fixture that is normally small and comes in different types and styles. LED wall sconces tend to direct their light upward, while pendants and other light fixtures point their lights downward. Wall scones benefit from not taking up floor space and being easier to access than ceiling mounted lights.
