Well-placed wall sconces create an intimate atmosphere and welcoming vibe without taking up valuable square footage
First-time visitors to Evangeline, the design-forward rooftop bar at Toronto’s Ace Hotel, are often struck by the sense of intimacy that radiates through the room. While flickering fireplaces, a jungle of plants and plush vintage furnishings all contribute to that coziness, it’s well-placed wall sconces designed by Shim-Sutcliffe, the local architectural firm that oversaw the hotel’s build, that illuminate the value of good lighting to creating a convivial mood.
To also says that for residences like Victorian houses, overhead lighting may be more feasible to achieve but can easily the kill the mood of a space. “Putting in pot lights isn’t going to amplify that Victorian feel,” she says. Instead, adding lamps and wall light sources add character and help to create little pockets of interest.
Marcelis’s collection, called Varmblixt, features lighting shaped like an elegant, luminescent hula hoop or an electrified doughnut . One circular style even doubles as a mirror. Another piece, made from powder-coated aluminum, emanates an industrial-chic aesthetic. Its quirky silhouette stands out singularly, but also looks clever when used in multiples.
Luminaire Authentik’s offerings skew on the side of purposefully eye-catching – its most recent sconce launch focuses on a marble material – with the added benefit of colour and bulb customization. The brand releases a new palette seasonally and Rondeau says that the abundance of choice helps to define the brand.
Fans of a stimulating sort of subtlety will be drawn to Anony’s Horizon sconce, a slick disc-shaped design that has a hint of novelty thanks to its pivoting, slightly smaller cover held on by magnets. In addition to creating an “unbroken ring of light,” as per the product’s description, this lid can be tilted to direct the light toward different corners of a room.
