Lighting is a very important aspect in setting the mood of a given room, and the lighting from candle wall sconces can be either reflected or absorbed depending on whether the background for the candle holder is shinny or light absorbing.

When choosing where to mount candle wall sconces, one should consider basic interior design aspects such as the sources of light from windows or ceilings, the light streaming in from other rooms as well as from table or ceiling fixtures in the room.
