10 Brushed Gold Sconce Light (s) To Spruce Up Your Home

Table of Contents

One of the simplest but most dramatic upgrades we first did in our home was replace our hallway sconces with brushed gold sconce light (s). The previous lights were a brushed chrome and were very dated, but also just said, ‘I don’t care.’

The new light fixtures are brushed gold and have a cute semi-circle, half-lamp-shade that is flush with the wall and they warm up the walkway so much! It even just makes me happy looking in the direction of the powder bath!

A Pair of Brushed Gold Sconce Lights For Less Than $100!

These sconces are a nice mix of traditional and contemporary. The whole thing is brass gold metal, when typically, we expect the lamp shade to be a soft fabric. The arced neck of the sconce gives it a more modern CB2-Vibe that could be seen in a loft apartment above the nightstand.

Of note, these sconces have the cord visible, running along the wall, beneath the sconce. This could be a positive in the sense that anyone could install them and plug the cord in the wall.

The negative could be that the cord could be more visible than one would like. But, personally, I don’t think the visible cord takes too much away form the sconces and it would be a quick and easy install DIY, without having to add electric where you want to place the sconce!

3 Uses For Gilded Gold Wall Sconce

Whether along a hallway or even sconces in a bathroom, this brushed gold sconce light is truly a sculptural work of art.

The benefit of a sconce that is so visually appealing is that you don’t need much else to design the space. These sconces speak for themselves!

  1. Because these are larger than most sconces, if used in a bathroom, the best application would be to install them on top of a mirror and not besides it. But these would speak so well within a traditionally designed bathroom!
  2. And, the second application could be down a long hallway. What beautiful color and texture to add to the space!
  3. Thirdly, do you have a huge wall above a sofa and the artwork doesn’t quite fill the space? Add these sconces on either side and you will be bound to have a properly designed wall.

Three Great Smaller Brushed Gold Sconce Light Options

The first thing a designer will tell you are the famous words, “It’s all in the details!” A well designed home has subtle details all throughout the house that are far from ordinary and far from “cheap.”

Anywhere you can add a custom touch, it’s there!

The reason why this gold and wrapped bamboo sconce is such a keeper is the marriage of the natural bamboo material with the brass gold. It causes you to look twice and say, “Cool! That’s different!”

It also reminds me of a great option for a little boy’s bathroom. Something about it gives me a nautical vibe.
