The most important thing to consider is whether or not the sconce can be reached and used from a sitting position in bed.
Light switch next to bed.
Bedroom wall sconce placement depends on several key factors including bed height wall height and the height of those using the bedroom.
Ended up with the height of it in alignment with the top of the bed frame headboard and about 10cm out to the side the pic shows our bed frame and i ve just drawn.
I worked out the placement of ours by positioning the king size bed in the exact centre of the wall then laying in it to see what distance felt comfortable from there for the switch.
What is the proper height for sconce lighting in a bedroom.
This might follow the 5 and 8 foot rule for sconces but it is not a necessity.
By convention most switch boxes are installed with the bottom of the box located 44 to 46 inches above the floor.
The ada light switch height ranges refer to the recommended distance from the floor to the operable part of a light switch rather than the top or bottom of the cover usually the centerline for.
Measured from the finished floor line the top of the switch box should be no more than 54 inches high.
