Boho Wall Sconce Lighting

Plug in wall sconces woven from bamboo

This collection brings together 30 boho wall sconces, most woven from natural bamboo and one, NEERAYA, from natural rattan. Each one ships with a plug in cord, and the Plug Type option sets which plug you get: AU (Type I), EU (Type C), UK (Type G) or US (Type A). Switched on, the open weave scatters patterned light across the wall, so a sconce works as decoration by day and soft accent light at night. ME TI NEE has a matte black finish for a darker look. Each sconce is handmade, so expect slight differences in size, shape and tone.

Plug in wall lights with no hardwiring

Because every sconce here plugs in, there is no hardwiring and no electrician to book. Fix the sconce to the wall, run the cord to a nearby wall outlet and plug it in. That also means you can take a sconce down and move it to another room, or another home, later on. PERIN, ME TI NEE and DOROTHY carry the words plug in in their product titles, and DOROTHY adds an inline on/off switch on its cord. PERIN and ME TI NEE come in Small, Medium and Large, and DOROTHY in one size.

For renters, a plug in wall light avoids changes to the wiring, and the PERIN, ME TI NEE and DOROTHY listings point this out, with ME TI NEE and DOROTHY also naming apartments and holiday homes. You still fix the sconce to the wall, so check what your rental agreement allows before drilling. Wall mounting hardware appears in the contents lists for CRYSTALYN, CHET, CHARLES and CHARISSA; the other product pages give no contents list, so contact us if you need to check before ordering.

Boho wall sconces for living rooms, hallways and reading nooks

Every listing here names living rooms, and all but one name hallways too. On a narrow hallway or landing wall, a tall, slim sconce fits the space: PRI YA, RAPEEPAN and SATINEE are 35 cm (14 in) tall, YU PIN is 43 cm (17 in) and AURA is 48 cm (19 in), and the AURA listing also names staircases. Beside a reading chair, a compact design such as CRYSTALYN at 15 cm (6 in) or MINTRA at 16 cm (6 in) gives a small circle of warm light without crowding the wall.

For a feature wall in a living room, KIRIN and A REE each come in four sizes, from 18 to 30 cm (7 to 12 in) tall, and the KIRIN listing suggests combining sizes. If you are lighting a bedroom, our bedside wall lights gather the sconces for beside the bed. Planning a whole room?

Bulbs, wattage and delivery for boho wall lights

Each sconce takes an E27 bulb, which is not included. The listings recommend a warm white LED or a vintage Edison style LED. Most designs list a 60W maximum, while IIA, MINTRA, PITCHAYA, DOROTHY, CHARLES, CHARISSA and CHAN THA list 13W LED, so match the bulb to the limit on the product page. NEERAYA, the rattan design, is listed for indoor use and also suggests low wattage bulbs. Delivery takes 2 to 10 business days, with free standard shipping on every order.
