Install wall sconces at about sixty-two inches from the floor to the center of the fixture for optimal visual balance and practical lighting. This height complements seating areas and artwork, allowing sconces to cast ambient or accent light effectively without glare. Combining wall sconces at this height with a lower chandelier and table lamps creates harmonious layered lighting. Adjust placement slightly based on ceiling height or furniture, but sixty-two inches ensures sconces contribute warmth and sculptural interest to your living room’s 2026 lighting design.
