Modern and contemporary industrial wall sconces are well suited to brighten living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and other key areas of the home. Although many associate industrial style with the traditional, functional lights used in warehouses, this style has been transformed and reimagined to fit into more modern aesthetics.
Industrial wall sconces take inspiration from the warehouse style lights of old. Structurally, the lights may use similar shapes to old industrial lights with cones and domes, or they may feature more contemporary aesthetics through unique geometric shapes and artistic constructions. Aside from the design of the light, metals and metallic finishes are another staple of the style. Modern metal wall sconces are often categorized with industrial wall sconces because of their great similarities in material and aesthetics.
Industrial style wall sconces will often feature metal as the most prominent material used in the light. Exposed bulbs, particularly Edison bulbs, are also common in cone and domed industrial wall sconces. These design elements are complemented by the inclusion of modern technology with different bulb types, lumen outputs, lighting temperatures, and dimming options to create highly functional, stylish fixtures.
Brass, bronze, nickel, silver, and gold are a few of the most popular finishes used on industrial wall sconces. Each of these metals comes in various different tones and applications to appear more rustic or refined based on the overarching style of the light and the home that it is placed in. Black industrial wall sconces are also common options that present numerous types of finishes to create iconic industrial fixtures.
Wall sconces are rarely the only lights in a room, which is why it is vital to consider the entire room’s lighting scheme when choosing industrial wall sconces. Industrial chandeliers, industrial pendant lights, industrial floor lamps, and industrial table lamps are all common fixtures that pair well with industrial wall sconces. When using multiple fixtures in a common space, look for similarities in styles and finishes to ensure that the lights convey the same aesthetic.
Modern industrial wall sconces pay respectful homage to the past style and still fit into modern and contemporary aesthetics. Because of that transformation, these lights are highly in style and can highlight either the vintage roots of industrial style or showcase contemporary interpretations of the style.
Metals and metallic finishes are the two most common features of industrial wall sconces. Aside from that, there is great diversity within the sconces’ designs, structures, and appearances to blend industrial style with other popular interior design branches.
Industrial wall sconces should be chosen based on their style, placement, and lighting capabilities. Industrial bathroom wall sconces in particular must be chosen carefully to create the proper lighting temperature and to illuminate essential areas. Similarly, industrial outdoor wall lights must also be approved for damp or wet areas based on your particular needs.
