As a tenant, I didn't believe I could own hotel-like sconces, but I discovered an affordable Amazon pair for $60 that lacks unsightly wires.
Battery-Operated Wall Sconces: Renovate Your Space without Wiring
For those seeking a hassle-free, wire-free lighting solution that can bypass landlord restrictions, battery-operated wall sconces are an ideal choice. These versatile and convenient fixtures, available on platforms like Amazon, feature rechargeable LED bulbs and offer a range of benefits.
One such option is the Linen Sconce by an unspecified brand. This cordless sconce, with a scalloped-edge woven rattan shade and available in black hardware, casts light from both ends, making it perfect for spotlighting formal art or providing a more subtle, less 'hotel' take on luxury in a bedroom. On its dimmest setting, a single charge can last up to 45 hours, offering extended usage without frequent recharging.
Another noteworthy choice is the Scalloped Shell Sconces. These beauties, priced at $25, are an unnecessarily elegant addition to any space, inspired by a recent trip of the Style & Trends Editor.
For those who value customization, the Pooky Sconces remain the cordless lighting gold standard, offering a dizzying array of shades to choose from. These sconces allow for customization of the look and give the lighting a more bespoke, high-design edge.
These sconces are designed with a wall mount for easy installation and are available in various styles, ranging from Modern and Mid-Century Modern to Boho, Traditional, and more classic forms like Flush Mount or Armed Sconces. Common colours include matte black, white, and gold. Some sets even come in pairs, which can be convenient for symmetrical placement.
Each sconce can light 15-25 square feet, making them suitable for small living rooms or studios. These battery-operated wall sconces are currently on sale, with the Linen Sconce available for $60.
