Using Swing-arm Sconces in Your Home

The sequence matters: decide the footprint, then the finish, then the accessories. I absolutely love the look of swing arm sconces – adding a few of these to a room can be the “wow” factor that makes a room notable! They can be found at several lighting companies in a variety of finishes and styles. When we created a home office a few years ago, I knew that I eventually wanted wall-to-wall bookcases with library lights hung over them. I thought I'd share some finished inspiration for using swing arm sconces in your home (post includes affiliate links; disclosure statement available {here})

Library lights in any room are just the coolest look! Like this pair over the fireplace?

bedrooms, bathrooms, and even laundry rooms.

Remodeling the house office has been creeping up the home project list so that now it's one we're starting to get serious about tackling. We haven't touched this room since it was our dining room – it still has the same “dining room red” wall color (which I am so, so sick of..), the same chandelier (which we hit our heads on constantly as we stand up from the desk), and even the same furniture (we're using our old dining room table as a desk). This weekend, I came across a clearance find that has me so excited to finally get started on our office – a set of three accordion wall sconces that I can use as library lights!

What do readers think – is it a look you love?
