Swing Arm Sconces

Sharing a collection of the best swing arm sconces for all budgets, as well as inspiration photos on how to decorate with them!

Yesterday I mentioned I’ve been contemplating a few updates in our home to better go with the flow of what’s changing outdoors. It may sound odd, I know. But in reality, it’s just finalizing some of the initial plans I had for our home – many that got placed on the back-burner when I felt like a space was “close enough” to being done. One of the areas I’ve been thinking of is our entryway. It’s a space that I love more than most in our home, but there are a few things that just seem off to me. I mentioned this a bit briefly in this post, when I contemplated changing the sconces out for library lights. But the more I thought about it, I was worried that they will make the area feel a bit to formal or museum-like. Today though, I’m going to share some stylish swing arm sconces that I think may look perfect and elevate this area!

Swing Arm Sconce Inspiration Photos

I know sometimes it’s hard to get sold on a particular light fixture until you can see it in action in a real life home setting. Here are a few examples of the contemporary swing arm sconce look so you can envision just what I’m talking about.

I think the height they would add would be perfect for our hallway because the ceilings are so high. Right now, everything feels a bit stumpy.

And although I don’t think it would work with the layout in our home, I love the swing arm fixtures in kitchens as well!

Where I Want to Use Swing Arm Sconces in Our Home

As a reminder, here was how our entryway looked shortly after we moved in. It’s come a long ways – new paint, lights, decor, etc.

And here was the updated space as of last week’s spring home tour.

As a reminder, here is the view above this area:

My Top Swing Arm Sconce Picks For Our Home

I would likely go with a chrome or nickel finish, but I’m equally as smitten with the gold/brass and black or oil-rubbed bronze versions as well. Thankfully, almost every fixture I’ve found comes in three or four finish options, so it’s more a decision about the shape/style.

I think the most popular designer version of the swing arm sconces is this Hudson Valley Exeter Swing Arm Sconce. BUT, the cost is crazy expensive. It really is perfection though!

I ended up finding this Savoy House model that is a fraction of the cost, and definitely much closer to something I could afford:

I then came across these industrial sconces on eBay that are even less than both of the prices above.  They ship directly from China, so I’m a bit skeptical, but they do look beautiful and the prices are hard to argue with!

So, what do you think of the new plans? Are you a fan of the swing arm sconces look? So you have a favorite out of the ones shown?
