Boho Wood And Rattan Wall Lamp | Hand Woven Plug In Sconce For Bedsides and Reading Corners

Most wall lights mean calling an electrician. This one does not. The Marlow Vane boho wall lamp plugs into an ordinary socket, so it mounts on the wall beside a bed, a chair or a bookcase and runs off the nearest outlet. That makes it a genuine option for renters, for a room where the wiring is already fixed, and for anywhere you want light without cutting into plaster.

The shade is hand woven rattan on a wood frame, and the weave is what makes the light interesting. Instead of a flat wash across the wall, the light comes through in a pattern that shifts as you move past it. Because the rattan is woven by hand, the density varies slightly between pieces, so no two throw exactly the same shadow onto the wall behind them.

Buy it now if you want a proper bedside light without losing the table to it. Mount it into a solid wall or a stud with fixings rated for the weight, and run the cable neatly down to the socket so nothing is left loose at head height. Dust the rattan with a soft brush, and keep the lamp out of bathrooms and other damp rooms.
