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.

Test it out! Use your remote and turn that baby on! Now these light’s aren’t going to light an entire room but they will give your beautiful sconce function!

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!

Bedrooms are probably my favorite spaces to decorate because I love giving my clients a room where they can relax and feel at peace 🙏  If you think about it, you go to bed and wake up in your bedroom EVERY SINGLE DAY.  If the space doesn't make you happy that means you are starting and ending your days in a negative state of mind... Who needs that? No one 😉

Home Decor PSA #4 (Yesterday was #3 I messed that Home Decor PSA #4

(Yesterday was #3 I messed that up🤦🏻‍♀️)

It's ok to choose function over beauty sometimes! Actually, most of the time😜 Your home isn't just for pictures on Instagram, it's where you live so sometimes choosing a specific layout, a more durable paint color, or a certain fabric for your sofa is just what you have to do!

For example:
1. You may choose carpet in your living room  because your kids love rolling around and wrestling.
2. You choose a darker paint color because having light colored walls stresses you out with three kids🤪
3. The most comfortable sofa may not always be the perfect looking sofa 😊

If you use some creativity the functional option might also be the most beautiful 😊

In this photo, swivel, comfortable counter stools were a must for my client! Comfortable✔️ Swivel✔️ Still looks beautiful ✔️
