Easy Lighting Upgrades with Plug-In Wall Sconces & Lamps

Plug-in wall sconces are the ultimate solution for instant gratification in home decor. Unlike traditional fixtures that require cutting into drywall and hiring an electrician, a plug in wall lamp offers a hassle-free installation process that anyone can master in minutes. Whether you are living in a rental apartment where hardwiring isn't an option, or you simply want to add a reading light to a finished room without the mess of renovation, our collection of wall lamps that plug in delivers style and function with zero stress.

Renter-Friendly: Easy Install Sconces

For years, renters were stuck with harsh overhead lights or floor lamps that took up valuable space. Plug in wall lights change the game. Because they mount to the surface of the wall and plug into an existing outlet, they are considered temporary fixtures (like hanging a picture frame). You can install high-end sconce lighting to define your space and simply take them with you when you move.

Where to Use Plug-In Sconces

  • Bedroom: Create a boutique hotel look by mounting plug in sconces on either side of the bed. This frees up your nightstand surface area and provides excellent reading light.
  • Living Room: Place a plug in swing arm sconce behind your sofa or favorite armchair to create a cozy reading nook.
  • Home Office: Add task lighting to your desk area without cluttering the desktop. An adjustable wall lamp can be positioned to illuminate your work perfectly.

Cord Solutions for Wall Lamps That Plug In

One common concern with easy install sconces is the visible cord. However, modern design has turned this into a feature rather than a bug.

  • Decorative Cords: Many of our fixtures feature fabric-wrapped or twisted vintage-style cords that add texture and character to the look.
  • Cord Covers: For a cleaner, more built-in appearance, you can use metal cord covers (channels) that hide the wire and match the finish of the fixture.

Plug-In Wall Light Styles: Modern to Industrial

Just because they are easy to install doesn't mean you sacrifice style.

  • Industrial: Exposed bulbs, metal cages, and matte black finishes look right at home with a visible cord.
  • Modern: Sleek, minimalist designs often use the cord as a linear design element.
  • Traditional: We offer elegant brass and fabric-shade options that look just like hardwired fixtures once installed with a cord cover.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I install a plug-in wall sconce?

Installation is simple. Most come with a mounting bracket that you screw into the wall using drywall anchors (usually included). Once the bracket is secure, you attach the fixture, plug the cord into the nearest outlet, and turn it on. No electrical knowledge is required.

How do I turn them on and off?

Most plug in wall lights have a switch located directly on the fixture (on the backplate or under the shade) or an in-line rocker switch on the cord itself, making them easy to operate from a seated position.

Can I hide the cord?

Yes. If you prefer the look of a hardwired fixture but don't have the wiring, you can use a "cord cover" or "cable raceway." These are metal or plastic channels that stick to the wall, cover the wire, and can be painted to match your wall color.

Are these lights dimmable?

Some plug in sconces come with a dimmer knob on the fixture. If yours has a standard on/off switch, you can easily make it dimmable by plugging it into a "plug-in dimmer" device at the outlet, or by using a smart bulb that you control with your phone.

Can a plug-in sconce be hardwired later?

Many fixtures are "convertible" or "dual-mount," meaning they come with a plug but also include the hardware to be hardwired into a junction box if you choose to do so later. Check the specific product description to see if it lists "hardwire compatible."
