Where Should Sconces Be Placed in a Bedroom

Bedroom wall sconces are usually hung on the sides of the bed, centered with the headboard. Or you can hang them about two feet above the sides of your bed/five feet from the floor. Each sconce should be eight to ten feet from each other to provide even lighting.

How close should sconces be to the bed?

As a general rule, the sconces should be 4 to 6 inches from the side of your headboard or of the bed, if you don’t have a headboard.

Where should wall lights be placed in a bedroom?
