I previously did a post on SCONCES FOR THE BEDROOM where I covered some of my top picks for both hardwired and plug-in wall sconces. But because sconces are so superb in the home, and certainly suited for places beyond just the bedroom, another expansive post on these versatile light fixtures was in need.

I’m sharing my top picks here for plug-in styles, sorted by color, which is really helpful if you know what color of metal or material you are looking for to add to your home, just not sure what style. And I am sharing my top picks for hardwired sconces here.

What’s not to love about plug-in wall sconces? By being both functional and stylish these clever lights are such a bright idea for illuminating the home. One of the best things about utilizing a plug-in style, is obviously, the ease of installation — you don’t have to worry about having these professionally installed, and just have to handle mounting the fixture backplate to the wall. You also can find a lot of affordable plug-in options if you are on the hunt for some budget-friendly sconces.

One of the most common ways to utilize these types of wall lights is in the bedroom, adding a sconce on either side of a bed for additional lighting. Depending on the size of your space, you can pair bedroom sconces with bedside table lamps, or, utilize just a pair of sconces as the sole bedside lighting.

And you aren’t limited to just bedrooms for these functional wall lights. This is an effective option for areas where you may need lighting, but don’t want a large lamp to overpower a space.

You can find options of plug-in styles that offer clear cords that will blend into white walls if you choose to place a sconce in a space within eye level. You will also see cords visible at times, so it really is up to you and the style of the space.

And some styles of plug-in scones feature a hidden base for the cord, where the sconce is intended to be fully displayed, like this look below. Not only does it show how to make use of these brilliant lights in a living room, but also looks chic with the metal cord cover displayed. Get this look with similar styles here and here.
