Modern Wall Sconce for a Living Room with Up and Down Light
Two cylinder shades sit on a round backplate, one pointing up and one pointing down. The shades are opaque, so no light escapes sideways. What you get is a band of light on the wall above and another below, with a dark middle where the backplate sits. The fixture is 10.0 in high, 4.7 in wide and stands 3.9 in off the wall. You pick the backplate colour and each shade colour separately, and choose hardwired or plug in.

Two shades facing opposite directions is an old trick and it solves a real problem. A single downward sconce leaves the wall above it dark, which makes a room feel lower than it is. Splitting the light sends half of it up. The wall reads taller, the corner feels less closed in, and you still get a pool of light at the bottom where you want it.
What Up and Down Light Does to a Living Room Wall
The shades are solid. Light leaves only from the open ends, so it goes straight up and straight down.
On the wall that reads as two soft triangles, one spreading towards the ceiling and one towards the floor.
The band between them stays dark. That contrast is what makes the fixture read as a shape rather than a lamp.
Because light reaches the ceiling, the room feels taller. A downward-only sconce does the opposite.
Two of these on a long living room wall will light it evenly without any ceiling fitting at all.
It is ambient light rather than task light. It will not light a book on your lap.
Choosing the Backplate and Shade Colours
The round backplate comes in cream, gold or black. It is the part that sits against the wall.
Each of the two shades is chosen separately. You can run them matching, or set one colour above another.
The shade colours run through cream, olive green, terracotta, dark red, black and white.
A black backplate reads as a hard dot behind the shades. A cream one blends into a pale wall and lets the cylinders float.
The gold backplate is the warmest option and works with the terracotta and cream shades.
Two-tone combinations are where this fixture earns its keep. Cream over terracotta, or olive over dark red, both work well against plaster.
Hardwired or Plug In, and Fitting It
Two power options are offered. The hardwired version needs a wall point behind the backplate.
The plug-in version has a cord that runs from the bottom of the fixture to a socket. There is no wiring work.
Choose plug in for a rented flat, or for a wall that has no point in it. The cord is visible, so plan where it runs.
Choose hardwired for a clean wall with nothing trailing, if you have a point or are having one put in.
The fixture is 10.0 in high and stands 3.9 in off the wall. That projection is worth checking in a narrow hallway.
It weighs 3.5 lb, so a standard wall fixing carries it. It is an indoor fitting only.
