Sconce Lighting Hack

in DIY & Home Decor on 10/21/20

Today I am sharing a really awesome hack I LOVE using in clients homes! I am definitely not the founder of this brilliant trick but I am a huge fan and wanted to share it with all of you!

Sconce lighting hack.  You don't need hardwired electrical to install a sconce light. Use this hack using battery operated lights. #lighting #sconcehack #sconce

Sconce lighting is all the rage right now and I am LOVING IT!! You might be wondering but Emily I don’t have a hard wire option where I want to hang a sconce light fixture and I definitely do not want to pay an electrician to add one! *Time for the hack*

You DO NOT need hard wired electricity! You just need the following:

  • A sconce light (cannot have a glass shade)
  • Brilliant Evolution Battery operated remote controlled lights
  • Velcro

Yep! That’s right 🙂 Let me show you:

Step 1

First you will need to purchase a sconce light fixture that does not have a glass shade. This is because we will be putting the battery operated light inside the shade and if the shade is clear glass, the plastic battery operated light would show.

I rounded up my favorite glass free sconces below:

Step 2

Choose the perfect space for your sconce light/lights. Maybe that is above your fireplace, beside your bed, or for me I chose to put mine above my small gallery wall in our breakfast nook area.

Step 3

Secure the battery opterated light inside the sconce shade with velcro.

Using velcro here will allow for you to easily replace the battery when it dies.

Step 4

Hang the sconce light using the base bracket that comes with your light.

Quick Tip

I wanted a satin nickel sconce light but didn’t want to spend a lot so I found THIS SCONCE LIGHT and spray painted it a satin nickel finish!

This is such a fun idea and a great Pinterest trick anyone can use! I’ve already used this trick with a few clients and they love it!

This week I'm talking cohesiveness🤔 How do you This week I'm talking cohesiveness🤔

How do you give your home that cohesive feel?? I have a few tips that I'll be sharing with you all throughout the week😘

The first one is all about color scheme. Focus on two to three main colors throughout your room when choosing decor. Swipe to see how I strategically incorporated the same three colors in this fireplace space. 

"DISCLAIMER* design is subjective, if you love it and it makes YOU happy do it!!👏 (This is going to be our matra for the week people)

Stay tuned for more cohesiveness tips this week😉

It's my 30th Birthday today🎉 So I ALWAYS ask m It's my 30th Birthday today🎉

So I ALWAYS ask my husband to rub my feet and sometimes he does but most of the time he doesn't 😂 So guess what my birthday gift was this year? A foot massager 🤣 And I love it! I guess this means I'm getting old 😬🥳

I have been so blessed these last 30 years and can't wait to see what God has in store for this decade🙌
