When it comes to proportion, there may not be a rule of thumb, but according to these designers, scale is everything. “Being able to draw an elevation and fixtures to scale can eliminate many mistakes,” Barrie says. “Always find out the placement of the wiring in regards to the fixture. Ultimately, bringing the fixture to the job site and seeing it there is the final act.” Becky says size and scale are most important when selecting a wall sconce. She asks the question, “Is it above a piece of art? On either side of a mirror in a bathroom? Next to a bed? You always need to scale in the sconce to the location first.”
