How do you put a skinny wall sconce on a round box?

Some sort of adapter plate?

A rectangular device box may be needed. You may need to change the box.

I have made up cover/adapter plates out of metal and paint them to match the wall. Unfortunately I've never seen such a thing in the store.

Changing the electrical box is an option but then you have to repair the wall and repaint which turns it into an even bigger job. Or, you choose a sconce that has a base large enough to cover the electrical box.
