Trending: Sconces Above Sofas

I LOVE wall sconces.  As a designer, I find them totally under-used.  They are an excellent way to flank a piece of art at an entry way and to bring a little ambient warmth to a space or vignette.  We spec a lot of wall mount sconces for bathrooms for adequate and flattering lighting.  Lately, however, we seeing a trend of sconces used in interesting places. See for yourself...

Take notes from this one!  Ever come across the perfect vintage fixture but there is only one--this is a simple, understated but beautiful way to use just one fixture.
