I find that the height of sconces can vary, based on where on the wall you are placing the sconces, but the width for how far away you hang the sconces from the painting should be no less than 6 inches and no more than a foot and a half away (also depending on how large the shade on the sconce is, if any).
How much space should be between mirror and sconces?
When positioning sconces beside the mirror, they should be level with your face and 36-40 inches apart and no less than 1 inch from the mirror’s sides.
Where should sconces be placed in living room?
As a general rule of thumb, wall sconces are installed between 60”- 72” from the finished floor. Depending on the layout of your house, you can also install multiple fixtures down your hallway. When it comes to horizontal spacing, sconces are traditionally 6′ apart.
How high should you hang candle sconces?
A good rule of thumb when hanging a wall sconce is to have the middle of the fixture sit 60 inches above the floor.
How do sconces work?
They operate either by a wall switch or by a switch in the fixture. For control over your lighting scheme, put sconces on a dimmer switch. If you want each sconce to operate independently, such as for reading in bed, then an on/off switch in the fixture is the way to go.
