How to Install a Bathroom Sconce | Pottery Barn

While considering bathroom renovations, lighting is an important consideration. Easy updates like adding sconces can improve your bathroom decor considerably. This how to install a sconce video is perfect for a weekend DIY project.

Before beginning any bathroom renovation project, it's important to gather all the tools and accessories needed. You'll need the sconce and the hardware included. For this project, you'll also need: a Philips head screwdriver, flat head screwdriver, electrical tape and a light bulb of up to 60 watts.

Safety is an important concern when working on bathroom renovations. The first step of how to install a sconce is to shut off the main electrical supply from the main fuse box or circuit breaker. Next, remove the mounting plate from the base of the sconce. After that, gently pull the wires from the wall outlet box and thread them through the center of the mounting plate. Adhere the mounting plate to the wall by fixing the included screws.

While considering how to install a sconce, it's essential that the outlet box in your home is properly grounded. Next, wrap the green ground wire around the ground screw in the mounting plate and tighten to fix. Connect the white neutral fixture wire with the neutral outlet wire using the wire connector and fasten with electrical tape. Repeat the same process with the black hot wire.

The final process of this project is to attach the lighting fixture to the mounting base. Next, insert the shade and tighten the thumb screws to hold it in place. Finally, screw in a light bulb. Turn on the main power and enjoy your new bathroom light fixtures.
