Cozying up my abode this autumn with an antique lighting fad that adds an effortlessly chic vibe to the setting

In the world of interior design, candle sconces have emerged as a popular and versatile lighting solution. These elegant fixtures, once hard to find, are now widely available from various retailers, including Zara, H&M Home, Magnolia, Lulu and Georgia, and more.

The modernist sconce from Audo Copenhagen, for instance, isn't just about the glow. Its mirrored backplate doubles the impact by reflecting the shape of the flame, amplifying the drama. On the other hand, Ribbed LED tapers created by Joanna Gaines for Target look impressively real, blending seamlessly into any decor.

Candlelight, as provided by sconces, creates a warm, soft, and intimate atmosphere, making them a popular choice for dining rooms, kitchens, and living spaces. In fact, in one dining room project, Alex used paintings by Casper White that incorporate candle holders directly, adding an extra layer of ambience.

Sconces can be placed next to a mantle to evoke the sense of a real wood-burning fireplace, or as a statement feature on a bare wall. They are also a popular fall decor idea that can instantly make a home feel more cozy and elegant. For instance, the barely-there bow sconce, with a patinated metal finish, is sophisticated and can be hung solo or doubled-up as living room wall lighting.

Joanna Gaines' double wall sconce design is inspired by modern antiques and can be used as a stately accent for artwork or mirrors. The scalloped-edge candle sconce from Anthropologie is a versatile choice, suitable for bedroom lighting ideas, dining rooms, or hallways, and instantly punches up a space's energy.

In the realm of restaurants and hotels, while there are no specific widely recognized "three main brands" of manufacturers specializing in the manufacture and sale of candlestick holders, general candle products, themed restaurant decoration with candlesticks, and bespoke lighting are common. Lantern-like versions of sconces are commonly found above booths in Café Zaffri.

Candle sconces offer a reason to avoid harsh lighting and can be found in bona fide art galleries. Alex, the founder of Salon 21, believes that adding natural candlelight is an easy way to romanticize homes, especially during the cozy season. The act of lighting candle sconces is a simple way to romanticize a home, as demonstrated by the Brutalist sconce by Brett Beldock. Its brassy patina will deepen and grow more beautiful with time, becoming an exception to the rule that fresh pieces might not age as well.

In conclusion, candle sconces are a timeless and trendy lighting solution that can add warmth, ambience, and style to any space. Whether you're looking for a modern, minimalist design or a more traditional, antique-inspired piece, there's a candle sconce out there to suit your style and needs.
