Choosing a decorative wall sconce often comes down to more than aesthetics — the wrong finish choice, a mismatched bulb type, or an unexpected installation constraint can stall a project at the worst moment. Getting those decisions right early makes all the difference.
For a hardwired wall sconce like this, the key considerations are straightforward: confirm the wall box position suits the backplate, select bulbs that complement the open socket design, and choose the finish to suit the surrounding palette. IP20 means this fixture is suitable for dry interior locations — living rooms, hallways, bedrooms — but not for bathrooms or covered outdoor areas.
The Visual Comfort Brianna Double Sconce is a hardwired decorative wall light designed by Ellen DeGeneres for Visual Comfort. It combines a clean, modern-industrial structure with the warmth of a classic candle-sconce silhouette. Two curved metal arms extend symmetrically from a central vertical stem, each terminating in a tall cylindrical socket sized for tubular filament-style bulbs — a detail that gives the fixture its distinctive vertical emphasis within a wide horizontal span. IP20 rated, suitable for dry interior environments.
The Brianna is constructed from metal throughout, with a smooth, non-reflective surface finish. It is available in three finishes: Polished Nickel, Burnished Brass, and Aged Iron — each offering a distinct character, from contemporary cool to warm antique. The open, minimalist frame works well in transitional, modern, and industrial-influenced interiors alike.
The fixture mounts via a rectangular vertical backplate to a standard wall electrical box and is hardwired. Lamps are not included; the open socket design accommodates clear tubular or Edison-style filament bulbs, which are recommended to preserve the intended aesthetic. Please confirm bulb base type and wattage limits with your specification or installation team prior to ordering. This fixture carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty.
At Lightsource Studio, we work with the Visual Comfort range because it consistently delivers on both design intent and real-world specification confidence. The Brianna is a considered choice for interior schemes where a statement wall light needs to earn its place — not just look good in a mood board. We can advise on finish selection, bulb pairing, and positioning to make sure it performs exactly as intended.
