Alabaster is a natural stone. Each cone has its own veining and tone, so no two sconces look exactly alike. These variations are not defects.
- Turn off power at the breaker before installing. A licensed electrician is recommended.
- Mount the backplate upright so one cone points up and one points down.
- Dust the cones with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or cleaning sprays on the stone.
- Let the bulbs cool before handling the cones or changing a bulb.
What bulbs does the Vesanne sconce use?
Two G9 bulbs, one in each cone. G9 is a small two-pin bulb, not a standard screw-in base, so choose G9 bulbs. A warm white 3000K bulb gives the stone its softest glow.
How big is it, and how far does it stick out from the wall?
It projects 9.1″ / 23cm from the wall. The full size is W 7.9″ x H 18.1″ x Projection 9.1″ / W 20cm x H 46cm x Projection 23cm.
Does the light shine up, down, or both?
Both. The cones are open at the top and bottom, so light washes the wall above and below while the alabaster glows in the middle.
Does it plug in, or does it need to be hardwired?
It is hardwired. The backplate mounts over a standard junction box and is controlled by a wall switch; there is no plug or cord. We recommend installation by a licensed electrician.
Which finishes are available, and will my alabaster look like the photos?
Aged brass, black, and brushed nickel. Alabaster is a natural stone, so the veining and tone differ on every cone. Clean it with a soft, dry cloth and keep it away from water, as the stone is porous.

Lighting is more than just functional—it’s a defining element of your home’s design. Choosing the right size fixture ensures both visual balance and proper illumination. In this guide, we’ll show you how to determine the ideal fixture size for your space, plus expert tips for chandeliers, pendants, flush mounts, sconces, and more.
1. How to Calculate the Perfect Fixture Diameter
Selecting the correct fixture size starts with your room’s dimensions. A fixture that’s too small or too large can disrupt the balance of your space. Use this simple formula to find the right diameter:
Step 1: Measure the room’s length and width (in feet).
Step 2: Add the two numbers together.
Step 3: Convert the total from feet to inches — that’s your ideal fixture diameter.
Example:
For a 12 x 14 ft room → 12 + 14 = 26 → Ideal fixture diameter ≈ 26 inches.

2. Determining Fixture Height
Ceiling height plays an important role in choosing fixture proportions.
Formula:
Room height (in feet) × 2.5–3 = Fixture height (in inches)
Example:
For a 10 ft ceiling → 10 × 2.5–3 = 25–30 inches fixture height.
3. Ideal Hanging Heights
- Dining Table: 32–36 inches above the tabletop.
- Kitchen Island: 32–36 inches above the countertop.
- General Rooms: Keep at least 7 feet clearance from the floor to the bottom of the fixture.
For multiple pendants, each should be roughly ¼ the length of the surface below and evenly spaced.

5. Room-by-Room Tips
Living Room
Use chandeliers or pendants as statement pieces scaled to the room size. Add table or floor lamps for layered lighting and cozy ambience.
Dining Room
Choose a chandelier ½ to ⅔ the width of your table. For long tables, consider two or three smaller pendants spaced evenly.
Kitchen
Hang pendants 32–36 inches above the island for balanced task lighting. Add under-cabinet lighting to brighten work areas.
Bedroom
Use flush or semi-flush fixtures for soft ambient light. Pair with bedside lamps or sconces placed at eye level when seated.
Bathroom
Mount vanity sconces 65–70 inches from the floor, one on each side of the mirror to avoid shadows. Use flush mounts for even overhead lighting.
6. Mirror Light Size Guide (Above-Mirror Installation)
Choosing 2-Head or 3-Head Fixtures:
- Mirrors up to 50 inches wide: A 2-head fixture provides clean, balanced illumination.
- Mirrors over 50 inches wide: A 3-head fixture offers more even light distribution.
- Extra-wide mirrors: You may install two 2-head fixtures spaced evenly for better symmetry and coverage.
Installation Height:
- Mount the fixture approximately 4–6 inches above the mirror.
- Always center the fixture with the mirror for visual balance.
7. Ceiling Height Guide
- Low Ceilings (≤8 ft): Use flush or semi-flush mounts.
- Standard Ceilings (9–10 ft): Ideal for chandeliers and pendants.
- High Ceilings (10+ ft): Choose taller, statement fixtures that draw the eye upward.
Rule of Thumb: Allow 2.5–3 inches of fixture height per foot of ceiling height.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right light fixture size means balancing scale, height, and function. By following these simple calculations and room-specific tips, you’ll ensure every space feels perfectly lit and visually balanced.
