Japandi Wall Sconces

Most people who search for a Japandi wall sconce already know the look they want: a calm shape, a soft pool of light and nothing shouting from the wall. The practical choice sits in the details: shade size, how the light leaves the fixture, and whether you have a socket or a junction box to work from. Every light on this page mounts on the wall, which makes them natural choices for a bedside, a hall or a stair wall.

Japandi wall sconce sizes for a bedside or a long wall

Small shades pair well either side of a bed. The Silk Wall Light is 10 cm across and 30 cm tall, the Imperia is 11 cm wide and 23 cm high, and the Zenform and Tracy both offer a 12 cm size. Mid-size round shades run from 18 to 35 cm: the Solid Wood Circle comes in 18, 28 and 35 cm and the Wabi-Sabi Resin Circle in 22, 30 and 35 cm. For a statement piece on a long wall, the Retro Ceramic goes up to 50 cm across and the Ayumi swing arm stands 80 cm tall.

Wall sconces for a Japandi bedroom: where the light goes

The Callum, Silk Wall Light and Bohemian Vintage throw light both up and down, which washes the wall instead of pointing at your eyes. The Ayumi's swing arm and the Clarity Curve's adjustable angle let you aim light at a page instead. The Solid Wood Circle and Fontane are listed at 3000K and the Imperia at 2700K. Mount a sconce with its centre near eye level, 150-170 cm (60-66 in) off the floor, and treat it as the warm layer beside an overhead light and a lamp, as our guide to layering lighting explains. The Japandi lighting guide covers the palette that holds the look together.

Plug-in or hardwired Japandi wall lights

Five are listed as hardwired: the Wabi-Sabi Resin Circle, Aura, Retro Ceramic, Nordic Brass Marble Tube and Fontane. Two can plug into a socket: the Nelson has a cord, and the Ayumi has a 150 cm (59 in) cord and inline switch, or it can be hardwired instead. Three have the LED built in (the Aura, Imperia and Nordic Brass Marble Tube); others list a G4, G9, E27 or E26/E27 bulb base. For the same palette overhead and on tables, browse all Japandi lighting. If timber matters most, the wood and walnut wall sconces go wider, and what travertine lighting is is the place to start if stone appeals.

FAQ

Which Japandi wall sconce suits a small bedroom?

Several listings give a lighting area: the Imperia and Nordic Wood Iron are listed for 3 to 6 m², the Clarity Curve for 3 to 5 m², and the Wabi-Sabi Resin Circle, Tracy and Callum for 5 to 10 m².

Can I dim a Japandi wall sconce?

Some, with conditions. The Ayumi dims with a dimmable bulb and compatible switch, the Nelson only with a dimmable bulb, and the Fontane depends on the bulb and switch you fit. Five are listed as not dimmable: the Silk Wall Light, Medieval Style Travertine, Imperia, Clarity Curve and Bohemian Vintage.

Which Japandi sconces come in more than one colour?

The Imperia comes in Black, Beige, Red, Grey and Orange, the Retro Ceramic in White, Green and Black plus two finishes named Retro and Vintage, and the Clarity Curve in Green, Brown, Grey and White.

What is the difference between a Japanese sconce and a Japandi one?

A Japanese sconce leans toward paper shades, low sculptural forms and welcome shadow. Japandi keeps that calm and adds Scandinavian function: pale wood, glare-free diffusion and light you can read by.
