A Japandi wall sconce washes a wall in soft, warm light without taking up any floor or table space. It's the quiet solution for bedsides, hallways and reading nooks where a lamp would crowd the room. Travertine leads this collection, with carved, slatted and slab designs in warm mineral tones. Wood, matte metal, alabaster and rattan fill out the range. Shapes stay geometric and calm: cubes, tubes, domes, arches and slim lines. Every piece comes from Residence Supply or Lassola. Browse the collection below and find the sconce that suits your walls.

What is a Japandi wall sconce?
A Japandi wall sconce is a wall-mounted light with a simple form and a natural or natural-looking material. You can recognize one by its clean geometry and soft, indirect glow. Many cast light up, down or through slits rather than straight out. Travertine, wood, alabaster and matte metal are common, sometimes with brass details. The fixture sits close to the wall and stays visually light and quiet. Colors remain warm and muted, from cream stone to oak and black.
Why buy a Japandi wall sconce?
Japanese interiors have long used soft, indirect light to create calm, as with traditional paper lanterns. Scandinavian homes layer lights at different heights to bring warmth through long winters. A wall sconce does both at once. It adds a gentle layer at eye level and frees nightstands and consoles from bulky lamps. Natural stone and wood also bring quiet texture to a plain wall. Each sconce is sold by its partner store, which handles shipping, returns and warranty.
Styles and variations of Japandi wall sconces
Travertine wall sconces
A travertine wall sconce brings warm, mineral texture to a plain wall. Carved, slatted, arched and cylindrical designs appear here, some with brass bases. Natural pores and veining mean no two pieces look exactly alike.
Wooden and rattan wall lights
A wooden wall sconce adds warmth through grain and soft curves. Some designs combine wood with glass for a lantern-like effect. Rattan models filter light through their weave, suiting bedrooms and cozy reading corners.
Minimalist metal and alabaster sconces
A minimalist wall sconce in matte metal keeps lines slim and modern. Cubes, tubes, domes and a trimless recessed option appear here. A sculpted alabaster wall light glows softly through translucent stone, ideal for hallways and stairwells.
How to choose your Japandi wall sconce?
Start with placement. For hallway wall lights, mount fixtures about 60 to 66 inches from the floor. Space them roughly 8 to 10 feet apart along the wall. A bedside wall sconce usually sits 24 to 30 inches above the mattress top. Next, check the wiring. Hardwired sconces need a junction box and usually an electrician. Plug-in models, where offered, are easier for renters. For bathrooms, look for a damp-rated fixture. Finally, consider the material and its care. Travertine is porous, so dust it with a dry cloth. Warm LED bulbs keep the glow soft and the stone cool.
What to pair a Japandi wall sconce with?
Mount a pair on either side of a low Japandi bed for symmetrical reading light. Hang one beside a wooden Japandi mirror in a hallway or entry. Repeat the same stone or wood in a Japandi pendant light over the dining table. Keep the surrounding wall clear so texture can breathe. These sconces also suit Scandinavian and Mediterranean interiors.

FAQ — Japandi wall sconce
How high should wall sconces be mounted?
In hallways and living rooms, mount sconces about 60 to 66 inches from the floor. Beside a bed, aim for 24 to 30 inches above the mattress. Adjust for ceiling height and the fixture's shape.
Do wall sconces need to be hardwired?
Not always. Hardwired sconces connect to a junction box inside the wall and usually need an electrician. A plug-in wall sconce uses a cord and outlet, which suits renters. Check installation details on the partner page before ordering.
Is travertine good for lighting?
Yes. Travertine brings warm color and natural texture, and it handles the low heat of LED bulbs well. It is heavier than metal, so check the mounting plate. Being porous, it absorbs oils, so dust it dry.
