I’d spent more hours than should be humanely necessary trying to find THE sconces, so I was less than willing to take them back. In my excitement of finding sconces I didn’t think of this until I got home with them. They were perfect except one minor detail: no switches. I liked the look of them a LOT, and for $30 a sconce we were well within budget. That’s when I happened upon these sconces when I was taking advantage of the air conditioning at Home Depot on a very hot summer afternoon 8 months preggo (no a/c except a window unit in our bedroom meant this mama-to-be survived in stores the last month of that hot summer). Add in that we wanted switches on the sconces so we could turn them off and on from the bed and we were left with either spending $100 and up per sconce, or some lights that looked as cheaply made as their $20 price tag. For some reason once you filter out all the non-hardwired in an online search, your options become limited. I began researching sconces that were in the style and budget I wanted, as well as hardwired.


Sconces in the bedroom save the limited tabletop space side tables provide and are aesthetically pleasing, so it was an easy decision for us.
Hardwired wall sconces with on off switch install#
This past summer when Karl and I were renovating our master bedroom, one of the ideas we came up with was to install hardwired sconces on either side of the bed with a toggle switch on each that we could turn on or off from the bed.
