Wall sconces bring both function and atmosphere to your home, casting light that enhances depth and texture across any space. At The Lighting Shoppe, we’ve helped Canadian homeowners and designers for more than 30 years choose sconces that elevate hallways, living rooms, and bathrooms alike. In practice, a client in Toronto recently installed modern matte-black sconces on either side of a vanity mirror, creating balanced illumination and a sleek, contemporary aesthetic. Our collection spans minimalist glass designs, ornate traditional fixtures, and energy-efficient LED sconces, all CSA and cUL certified for safety and performance. According to CSA Group, certified indoor fixtures ensure reliability and safety, while Natural Resources Canada notes that LED lighting offers long-term energy savings. Whether you’re adding accent light to a hallway or layered illumination to a bathroom, our wall sconces blend affordable luxury with Canadian craftsmanship.
