Ready to brighten up your living space with stylish lighting ideas or looking for easy, cordless options to enhance your home decor? This thrifty DIY project is perfect for you. All you need is a thrifted vintage wall sconce and a cordless light of your choice. The Borelor remote control globe light is recommended, but any cordless option that fits in your sconce will work.
This project is beginner-friendly as it eliminates the need for electrical work. Simply install the sconce with a hammer and nail or screws and anchors for heavier sconces. Mark where you want the sconce, install the hardware, and then hang the sconce before placing the cordless light fixture on top.
To keep the light secure, add double-sided tape underneath. Now, you have a unique and beautiful cordless lamp that enhances your space without the hassle of cords and wires.
Tips for installing cordless wall sconces
When installing your DIY cordless lamp, consider a few key things. Place two sconces around a centerpiece like a bed or a piece of art for visual interest. Install the sconces 66 to 72 inches from the ground or at eye level to avoid harsh shadows. Keep the sconces at least 6 feet apart to ensure proper spacing. With these tips, you can create designer-worthy lighting using thrifted items in any room of your home.
