There are a few ways to complement the ambient lighting from a pendant, chandelier, or a flush mount in your bedroom. Bedroom wall sconces are a great option for gentle task lighting at the bedside. Although sconces are considered a more traditional form of lighting, they are quickly becoming popular in modern homes. Sconces are lamps that are mounted to a wall, which means you can save space on your nightstands and reduce the number of cables you have running along the floor.
Bedroom sconces are commonly mounted above a bed or bedside table. They are often positioned on either side of a painting or window to help draw attention to your bedroom’s focal points. However, bedroom wall sconce lighting does not always have to come in pairs – a single bedroom wall sconce makes for a wonderful statement piece. Keep scrolling to get inspired by our pick of the best wall sconces for bedroom.

A bedroom’s ambiance can be significantly transformed with the right lighting.

The white bed, adorned in white and blue bedding, stands majestically in front of the window, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere.
Renowned interior designer, Annuska Menoita, shares her expert insight on this approach. “When installing a wall sconce in a bedroom, thoughtful considerations like light warmth, brightness, and placement are crucial,” she advises. Annuska is a proponent of versatile lighting, often choosing a sconce with a dimmer to adapt to various activities such as reading or relaxing. “The inclusion of an adjustable arm adds further flexibility, enabling you to direct the light precisely—whether towards your book for focused illumination or towards the wall for a softer, diffused ambiance,” she adds.
