Modern Office Wall Sconces

Why Choose Contemporary And Modern Office Wall Sconces?

Modern and contemporary office wall lights are a great go-to in rooms where you want your light fixtures to act as a work of art and add practicality to the room. Wall sconces allow you to infuse your personal style into the space and shed light onto whatever areas you need it on, whether that be a desk, a reading chair, a bookshelf, or another area of your office. 

What Are Common Styles & Colors Of Office Wall Lighting?

Common styles of office wall lights include modern, contemporary, mid century modern, vintage, farmhouse, boho, and other popular styles of interior design. The colors vary by style, but metallic finishes are common among many styles and so are neutral colors. Then there’s the matter of how colors are combined, such as rustic brass being used with off white or sleek chrome being paired with pure white. When it comes to office wall lighting, there are plenty of colors and styles to choose from. 

How Do I Shop For Office Wall Lighting Fixtures

The first step of shopping for office wall lights is considering what you hope your lights will accomplish; will their primary purpose be to provide a new aesthetic to the room, or are you hoping for practical task lighting to shine over a specific area? Once you consider the practical aspects, look around at your other lights and decor for similar design elements so the room is cohesive in its presentation. 

How Many Wall Lights Do I Need In My Office?

The exact number depends on the size of the room and what sorts of lights you’re using. Overhead ceiling fans, office chandeliers, and office pendant lighting provide more widespread light than wall sconces and desk lamps, after all. In general, focus on the brightness of the room as a whole, which should be between 6,000 and 8,000 lumens.
