One of the trickiest tasks in any bathroom project is sourcing good sconces; here are ten that we like (and have used, in some cases).

Above: Enne Luci Wall Sconce, designed in 2005 by architects Michele Romani and Mauro Saccani for Vistosi, features a handblown white glass diffuser; $355 at Design Within Reach.
