We’ve been seeing a lot of home designs come our way that are kitted out with a very particular trend in lighting feature: Swing arm wall lamps and sconces. These handy wall lights reach new lengths over large modular sofa arrangements, and provide homeowners with a lamp that is easily maneuverable between a choice of seats. A swing arm wall sconce also makes a perfect bedroom reading lamp because the far reaching arm allows its glow to be positioned right where it’s needed, rather than pooled only over a bedside unit. So, to help you pick your new bit of kit, we’ve put together 40 of the most beautiful.
