Candle Sconce: An Elegant Way to Bring Character Your Kitchen
A candle sconce is a fantastic way to bring character to your kitchen! Sometimes kitchens can feel very cookie-cutter, or lacking in personality. Elevate your kitchen by styling this elegant wall candle detail on a side wall, or in an otherwise “nothing” blank space.
A wall candle will add a warm glow to your kitchen on winter mornings over breakfast, or dark evenings cooking. It will also elegantly decorate your space, even when the candle is off, and honestly, even if it isn’t filled with a candle!
I particularly love a brass candle sconce, as it will only patina more and more over time. It’s a lovely way to bring to your home a discrete antique detail. In the way that antiques have already lived lifetimes, they bring a level of comfort and cosiness to a space, which is often sought-after in a brand new kitchen! Antiques, such as a candle sconce, are a quick way to bring character to your space.

Vintage candle sconces are the perfect sort of item to search for at an antiques or flea market. You’ll find interesting designs from around the world, which have already aged beautifully. If they are a bit scruffy, just use some brasso, or a similar metal cleaner, to give it new life!
