  • <h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Many Variables

    There are many variables that can determine the proper height for your sconces. The height of the people in your family and visitors is one. When they walk by, you don't want the light shining directly into their eyes. Also consider what else goes on the walls where you place the sconce, including a picture or another fixture such as a mirror. Finally, experiment with the rest of the furnishings to determine what works for you.

    On the Other: Standard Height

    The standard height for wall sconces is 60 inches from the floor to the center of the sconce. With vaulted ceilings, placement can go higher than that and will create a dramatic effect for your room.

    Bottom Line

    The correct height for sconces for your home is determined with measuring different variables and trial and error. You can always use the standard 60-inch height if you're not sure. Either way, you're sure to be happy with these fixtures because they add a finishing touch to any room in your home.
