Bright Ideas: How to Use Our Kin Sconces in Any Decor Style July 08 2025, 0 Comments

There’s a reason our Kin Sconce keeps popping up in designer installs and maximalist moodboards. Designed and powder-coated in our New Orleans studio, it’s a bold, geometric wall sconce inspired by Memphis style, Bauhaus color theory, and a love of sculptural lighting.

Whether you're styling a kid's bathroom, playing with monochromatic decor, or planning a rainbow lighting installation for a commercial space—Kin does more than illuminate. It transforms.

1. Monochrome Doesn’t Mean Boring

Pairing a sculptural sconce with a tone-on-tone space creates instant tension in the best way. A saturated blue wall? Go softer with poolside and citrus. A neutral bathroom? Add warmth with peach and brass.

2. Color Blocking as Design Language

Kin was built for color blocking. Each component can be customized in one of our 30+ powder coat finishes, meaning you can mix flame orange with lilac, or mustard with orchid—and still land in designer territory.

3. Small-Space Friendly: One Sconce Is Enough

We love seeing Kin used solo in powder rooms and hallways where one punch of color does all the heavy lifting.

4. Commercial? Go Maximalist

Kin works just as well in a boutique hotel lobby or gallery space. Mount them in a grid, vary the colors, and you’ve created a rainbow lighting art installation that doubles as branding.

5. Match Your Maximalism

The Kin Sconce thrives in rooms that don’t hold back. From creamy-on-cream elegance to marbled wallpapers with chartreuse mirrors, it balances playfulness with polish, especially as a pair.   Whether your palette leans saturated or subdued, Kin brings the structure—and the personality.
