Installing a sconce always involves a sacrifice. If you want it hardwired, you’ll need an electrician, and if you’re just mounting it, a dangling cord isn’t always pretty. But when you take electricity out of the equation altogether, you’re looking at the easiest installation of all time. Meet: the wall candle sconce. They might call to mind old estates like the one we fell in love with in Saltburn, or perhaps a moody castle from Game of Thrones, and that’s exactly why we’re into them. There’s something comforting about illuminating your home by striking a match instead of shouting at Alexa to dim the lights.
While you can absolutely go vintage (this $12 option from Chairish might be the best deal we’ve ever seen), plenty of our favorite brands, from CB2 to H&M Home, are offering their takes on the candle sconce. If you’re intrigued but have no idea where you’d hang one, we suggest purchasing a pair to flank a fireplace, cabinet, bed frame, or piece of art—or integrating a single one into a gallery wall.
And because going through expensive tapers isn’t ideal, we suggest buying these editor-approved Amazon ones in bulk. That way, it won’t feel like lighting your candle sconces is only for special occasions.
Delicate iron just thicker than a strand of spaghetti allows this dainty sconce to squeeze in just about anywhere.
This understated solid brass holder also takes up very little wall space, letting the taper itself shine (literally). It’s currently on sale, saving you $7. Just be sure to use dripless candles.
In classic H&M Home fashion, this mirrored stainless steel holder is just $18. The arches at both ends add a soft, elegant touch.
This design isn’t limited to tapers; it holds wider pillar candles, too. We’re mesmerized by the drip tray’s floating effect.
This vintage sconce offers a lot of look for just $12. Whimsical looped rope brass and scalloped drip trays make it bold enough to design an entire wall around.
This envelope-like holder is compelling even without a candle in it. The flame reflects onto the brass-plated steel sheeting, making the glow even brighter.
We’re loving the Southwestern cowboy vibes of this iron set of two. They bring double the fun.
Irregular panels in either polished or bronzed brass add a contemporary, sculptural element to a wall.
We’re digging the mix of iron and brass in this beachy pick. At 52% off, it’s worth making space for.
The simple curved column shape of this brass holder will never go out of style. Plus it’s currently 45% off.
Like the name indicates, this hefty holder is truly an ornament for your wall. It’s ideal for integrating into a gallery wall, as the circular shape breaks up a bunch of rectangular frames.
Made in Denmark in the 1970s, this sconce has likely seen quite a few walls. Welded amber and amber glass isn’t a combination we see too often, making it extra-special.
