A flush mount wall sconce attaches directly to the wall, with no space between the vertical surface and the main body of the fixture. Flush mount lights unobtrusively hug the wall without the use of arms or extending designs that take up too much space. This allow them to easily fit into narrow and out-of-the-way places and blend more seamlessly into any space than other types of wall lights. These wall lights are incredibly versatile and can be used in foyers, hallways, bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms, dining rooms, kitchens, and entryways.
Flush mount wall lights are more often used to provide ambient or accent lighting. Every room should have a mix of lighting such that a fully usable, adaptive space can be created. Overhead fixtures such as statement pendants and stunning chandeliers are usually the primary source of ambient light for a room, but having a balanced combination of wall sconces with ceiling mounted lights can create a more attractive, functional and inviting environment. The flattering ambient light provided by flush mount sconces lends refinement to the room and can compensate for where the overhead light fixture doesn’t reach or isn’t an option. Flush mount wall sconces are also used as accent pieces that add depth and dimension to a spaces by highlighting architectural features. Accent lighting reinforces design aesthetics and creates a visual interest in the space.
