The useful difference between wall lights is where the switch is. A pull chain on the fixture means the light works without a wall plate wired to it, which is why these end up beside beds and in children's rooms rather than on a landing nobody stands on.

Wall Lamps — what to know before you buy
The adjustable models swivel, so you can aim light at a book and away from whoever else is in the room. All are hardwired to a standard wall box; sockets are G9 (7W LED recommended) or E27 depending on the model. $72.22 to $115.99. A wall sconce with a switch on the fixture is the whole point of this collection. The beaded pull chain means no wall plate has to be wired to it, which is why these end up as wall sconces for a bedroom and beside cots rather than on a landing. The adjustable models swivel, so a pull chain wall sconce can light a book without lighting whoever is asleep next to you. All are hardwired to a standard wall box, G9 or E27.

Who this is for
For freeing a nightstand, lighting a reading corner, or washing a hallway wall. All of these are hardwired — if there is no wall box where you want the light, this collection is not the answer, and an electrician is.
Related collections
Wall Lamps — questions and answers
Straight answers on sizing, fitting, materials and shipping.
Power, plug and wiring
Are these wall sconces plug-in or hardwired?
Every wall sconce in this collection is hardwired to a standard wall box. The Bear Nursery, Macaron Bedside and Vanity listings state hardwired with no visible cord, and the Globe Pull Chain and Fluted sconces hardwire as well. None of them ship with a plug.
Do any of the wall lamps come with a cord and plug attached?
No. None of the sconce listings include a cord set or a wall plug. The wiring is made off inside the mounting box behind the backplate, which is why the listings describe the look as having no visible cord running down the wall.
I don't have a junction box on that wall. Can I still fit one of these?
Not without electrical work. These fixtures connect to a standard wall box, so a wall with no box needs an electrician to add one and run the supply. If that is not possible in your home, this collection will not suit that wall.
Which sconce has a switch built into the fixture?
The Globe Pull Chain sconce switches with a beaded pull chain ending in a small wood teardrop. The Bear Nursery sconce uses a rotary knob on the lamp body. The other sconce listings do not state an on-fixture switch, so plan on a wall switch.
How does the pull chain on the globe sconce work?
The beaded chain hangs from the fixture with a wood teardrop on the end. Pull it to turn the frosted glass globe on, pull again to turn it off. It works without reaching a wall switch, which suits a bedside wall where a switch is awkward.
Is the Bear nursery sconce switched at the lamp or at the wall?
At the lamp. The listing states a rotary knob on the lamp body, so you can switch it where you stand rather than crossing a dark room. It is still hardwired into a wall box, so a room switch on that circuit also cuts power.
Do I need an electrician to install these?
Unless you are confident and permitted to do your own mains wiring, yes. Each sconce joins to the supply inside a wall box, so the work involves the breaker and live conductors. Local rules differ, and a licensed electrician is the safe default.
What voltage do these wall sconces run on?
It varies by product. The Bear Nursery, Macaron Bedside and Fluted sconces are listed at AC 90-260V. The Vanity sconce is listed at AC 110-240V. The Globe Pull Chain listing states AC hardwired to a standard wall box without giving a range.
Will these work on standard US 120V household power?
The listed ranges cover it: 90-260V for the Bear Nursery, Macaron Bedside and Fluted sconces, and 110-240V for the Vanity sconce. US household voltage falls inside both. The Globe Pull Chain listing does not print a range, so ask us before ordering if that matters.
Are these wall lamps dimmable?
The sconce listings do not state dimmer compatibility, so we cannot promise it. Dimming a fixture like these depends on the bulb you fit and the dimmer on the circuit, and many LED bulbs are not dimmable. Check the bulb packaging and ask your electrician about the dimmer.
Can the sconce be controlled from the room's wall switch?
Yes, if the wall box you mount it to is fed from a switched circuit, which is the usual setup for a hardwired sconce. On the Globe Pull Chain and Bear Nursery models you then have two controls: the room switch and the switch on the fixture.
Is wiring hardware or a connector block included?
The listings state how each fixture mounts but do not itemise the small parts in the box, so we will not promise a specific connector. Contact us before ordering if your electrician needs to know exactly what arrives; standard connectors are easy for them to supply.
Can I run two sconces from one switch?
That is a wiring question rather than a product limit, since each fixture connects to its own wall box. Two boxes fed from the same switched circuit will turn on together. Have an electrician confirm the circuit and the load before you commit to a pair.
Do these come with a cord cover for hiding the wire?
There is no cord to hide. These sconces wire inside the wall box behind the backplate, and the Bear Nursery, Macaron Bedside and Vanity listings specifically describe no visible cord. Cord covers are only needed for plug-in fixtures, which this collection does not include.
Will these work in a country running 220-240V?
The Bear Nursery, Macaron Bedside and Fluted sconces list AC 90-260V and the Vanity sconce lists AC 110-240V, so both cover 220-240V supplies. Plug and socket standards do not apply since they hardwire. Buy a bulb rated for your local supply.
Are any of these battery powered or rechargeable?
No. Every wall lamp here connects to mains power through a wall box. There is no battery, no USB charging and no rechargeable option in this collection, so each fixture needs a live supply at the point where you want to mount it.
Does the fluted up-down sconce have its own switch?
The listing does not state a switch on the fixture, so plan on controlling it from the wall switch that feeds the box. If an on-fixture switch matters to you, the Globe Pull Chain and Bear Nursery sconces are the two that state one.
Is there a wattage limit I should respect when wiring these?
Follow the socket recommendation on each listing rather than the maximum your circuit allows. The Globe Pull Chain sconce recommends up to a 7W LED in its G9 socket, and the Fluted sconce recommends about 5W LED in each of its two G9 sockets.
Bulbs and brightness
What bulb does the Globe Pull Chain sconce take?
A G9 bulb, with up to 7W LED recommended. The bulb is not included. The listing notes that a three-colour-temperature G9 LED gives the white, natural and warm looks shown in the photographs, so a single bulb can cover all three moods.
Are bulbs included with these sconces?
It depends on the listing. The Macaron Bedside sconce offers a 12W warm, 12W white or no-bulb choice, and the Vanity sconce offers 7W warm, 7W white or no bulb. The Globe Pull Chain, Bear Nursery and Fluted sconces state that bulbs are not included.
What bulb base do the wood-base bedside sconces use?
E27. The Bear Nursery, Macaron Bedside, Vanity and Bedside Wood sconces all list an E27 socket, and the listings note that standard US E26 LED bulbs fit. That means common household screw-base LEDs from any hardware store will work.
Can I use American E26 bulbs in an E27 socket sconce?
Yes. The Bear Nursery, Macaron Bedside and Vanity listings state that standard US E26 LED bulbs fit their E27 sockets. Buy the bulb by the wattage and colour temperature you want; there is no adapter to order separately.
How many bulbs does the fluted up-down sconce need?
Two. It has two G9 sockets, one feeding the upward opening and one the downward opening, with about 5W LED recommended for each. Bulbs are not included, so buy a matched pair to keep the up-wash and the down-pool looking the same.
What colour temperature should I choose for a bedroom?
Warm is the usual pick for a sleeping room. The Bedside Wood sconce offers warm white 2700-3500K or cool white 5500-7000K, and the Bear Nursery listing recommends a warm-white LED around 2700K. Cool white reads brighter and more clinical late at night.
What is the difference between the warm and the white bulb options?
Colour of the light, not brightness. Warm light looks yellow and settles a room down; white light sits closer to daylight and shows detail. The Macaron Bedside sconce offers both at 12W, and the Vanity sconce offers both at 7W.
How much area does one sconce light?
Each listing gives a coverage figure. The Globe Pull Chain and Vanity sconces cover about 32-54 sq ft (3-5 sq m), the Bear Nursery and Fluted sconces about 54-108 sq ft (5-10 sq m), and the Macaron Bedside sconce about 108-160 sq ft (10-15 sq m).
Is one sconce bright enough to light a whole room?
Treat these as accent and task lights rather than a room's main source. The largest stated coverage is the Macaron Bedside sconce at about 108-160 sq ft (10-15 sq m), while the Vanity and Globe sconces cover about 32-54 sq ft (3-5 sq m). Pair them or keep a ceiling fixture.
Can I use a three-colour-temperature bulb?
The Globe Pull Chain listing specifically mentions a three-colour-temperature G9 LED, which switches between white, natural and warm modes. For the E27 sconces the listings do not mention that bulb type, though any bulb in the right base and wattage physically fits.
What wattage are the bulb options?
The Macaron Bedside sconce offers a 12W warm or 12W white bulb, and the Vanity sconce offers 7W warm or 7W white. Where no bulb is offered, the recommendations are up to 7W LED for the Globe Pull Chain sconce and about 5W LED in each Fluted socket.
Can I use my own bulbs instead of the ones offered?
Yes, and both the Macaron Bedside and Vanity sconces have a no-bulb option so you are not paying for one you will not use. Match the base, E27 or E26 on those two, and stay at or under the wattage the listing recommends.
Will a smart bulb work in these?
Physically a smart bulb in the right base fits: E27 or E26 on the Bear Nursery, Macaron Bedside, Vanity and Bedside Wood sconces, G9 on the Globe Pull Chain and Fluted sconces. None of the listings include or test a smart bulb, so check the bulb maker's own specification.
The vanity sconce shows a bare bulb. Will it be glary?
The bulb is the visible design element on that one: a painted iron cone with a rubberwood cap holds an exposed round globe bulb. A frosted or opal globe bulb softens the view, and the head swivels so you can aim the light up, down or across.
Which sconce hides the bulb completely?
The Globe Pull Chain sconce puts the bulb inside a frosted opal glass globe about 4.7 in (12 cm) across, so you see a soft glow rather than a filament. The Bear Nursery and Macaron Bedside sconces cover the bulb with a painted iron shade.
Can I use an incandescent or halogen bulb instead of LED?
The listings recommend LED and give their wattage guidance in LED terms, so we cannot advise fitting a hotter bulb type. Stay with LED at or under the recommended wattage: up to 7W in the Globe Pull Chain sconce, about 5W per socket in the Fluted sconce.
Does the nursery lamp need a specific type of bulb?
The Bear Nursery sconce takes an E27 socket and standard US E26 LED bulbs fit. The listing recommends a warm-white LED around 2700K, which is the softer light most people want over a cot or a bedtime reading chair. No bulb is included.
Sizing and placement height
How far do these sconces stick out from the wall?
Reach varies by model. The Fluted sconce is the shallowest at 3.1 in (8 cm) deep. The Vanity sconce reaches 6.7 in (17 cm), the Macaron Dome 6.7 in (17 cm), and the Macaron Cylinder 9.4 in (24 cm) from the wall.
How tall is each sconce?
The Globe Pull Chain sconce is 5.9 in (15 cm) tall in every backplate shape. The Vanity sconce is 5.1 in (13 cm), the Fluted sconce 6.5 in (16.5 cm), and the Bear Nursery sconce 8.3 in (21 cm) with a 7.1 in (18 cm) shade.
What backplate shapes and sizes does the Globe Pull Chain sconce come in?
Four shapes. Bar measures 11.8 x 4.7 in (30 x 12 cm) with the globe set left or right depending on the variant, Disc measures 5.9 x 5.5 in (15 x 14 cm), and Square and Pebble both measure 6.3 x 6.3 in (16 x 16 cm).
What size are the Macaron bedside shades?
The listing gives two of the three. Dome measures 6.7 in (17 cm) from the wall by 5.1 in (13 cm) tall. Cylinder is 5.1 in (13 cm) across, 5.5 in (14 cm) tall and 9.4 in (24 cm) from the wall. The Bell size is not stated.
Which sconce is the most compact for a narrow wall?
The Fluted sconce projects only 3.1 in (8 cm) and measures 6.5 x 5.5 in (16.5 x 14 cm) on the wall, which suits a corridor where anything deeper would catch a shoulder. The Vanity sconce is the shortest at 5.1 in (13 cm) tall.
How high should I mount a sconce beside the bed?
A common approach is to set the light source a little above shoulder height when you are sitting up, so the beam lands on the page rather than in your eyes. The swivel heads on the Bear Nursery, Macaron Bedside and Vanity sconces let you correct the aim afterwards.
What mounting height suits a hallway sconce?
Hallway sconces are usually set near eye level so the glare stays out of the sightline as you walk through. The Fluted up-down sconce is made for that run, throwing a wash up the wall and a pool below from one 6.5 in (16.5 cm) body.
How high should sconces sit beside a mirror?
The common approach is a pair at roughly eye level on either side of the mirror, so the light lands on the face rather than the top of the head. The Vanity sconce is the small option for that position at 5.1 in (13 cm) tall.
How far apart should a pair of sconces be?
Spacing usually follows the object between them, such as a mirror or a bed, so the two throws overlap without crowding it. Account for reach as well: the Macaron Cylinder stands 9.4 in (24 cm) off the wall, while the Fluted sconce sits at 3.1 in (8 cm).
Which sconce has the largest presence on the wall?
The Globe Pull Chain sconce with the Bar backplate has the biggest footprint at 11.8 x 4.7 in (30 x 12 cm). The Bear Nursery sconce is the tallest at 8.3 in (21 cm) with a 7.1 in (18 cm) shade width.
Will one of these fit in the gap between the bed and the wall?
Measure the reach first. The Fluted sconce needs only 3.1 in (8 cm), the Vanity and Macaron Dome 6.7 in (17 cm), and the Macaron Cylinder 9.4 in (24 cm). A deeper fixture over a nightstand is usually fine; over a headboard the shallower ones sit better.
Will the backplate cover the mark my old fixture left?
Compare the numbers before ordering. The Globe Pull Chain backplates run from 5.9 x 5.5 in (15 x 14 cm) on the Disc up to 11.8 x 4.7 in (30 x 12 cm) on the Bar. The other sconce listings do not print a backplate size, so ask us if that matters.
Mounting and installation
How do these sconces attach to the wall?
Each one fixes to a standard wall box and the wiring is made off inside it. The Bear Nursery sconce uses a round rubberwood mount, the Vanity sconce an iron or rubberwood backplate, and the Fluted sconce clips its resin shade over a mounting bracket.
Are the fixing screws visible after mounting?
The Fluted sconce conceals them: the shade clips over the mounting bracket once the bracket is on the box. The other listings describe a backplate but do not state whether the fixings sit behind it, so we cannot promise a fully hidden result.
Can I mount these on drywall without a stud?
The fixture attaches to the wall box rather than to bare drywall, so the box itself needs to be properly secured first. Whether that box needs a stud, a brace or an anchor depends on how your wall is built, and that is a call for your electrician.
Can I install one on a tiled or brick wall?
The listings do not restrict the wall material, but the work does: a box in tile or masonry needs the right drilling and a chase for the cable. Discuss it with an electrician before you buy, since the fixture side is the straightforward part.
Can I mount the globe sconce upside down?
On the Globe Pull Chain sconce the Bar variants come with the globe already set to the left or the right, so choose that orientation at the variant stage. The listings do not describe mounting any of these fixtures against their designed orientation.
The Bar variants say globe left or globe right. Which do I pick?
Pick the side that puts the globe where you want the light, usually toward the bed, chair or mirror rather than into a corner. Bar Black is offered with the globe on the left or the right; Bar Green, Beige and Red are listed with the globe on the right.
Can I adjust the direction of the light after it is up?
Yes on three of them. The Bear Nursery sconce has a chrome swivel joint that rotates and tilts, the Macaron Bedside head swivels about 90 degrees, and the Vanity head swivels to aim up, down or across. The Globe Pull Chain and Fluted listings do not describe an adjustable head.
Is mounting hardware included in the box?
The listings describe how each fixture mounts but do not itemise the hardware supplied, so we will not promise a specific bracket or screw set. If your electrician needs to know before the job, contact us and we will confirm what ships with that model.
Do I need to turn off the breaker to install one?
Yes. These are hardwired fixtures, so the supply conductors in the box stay live until the breaker is off. Isolate the circuit, confirm it is dead with a tester, and follow the rules that apply where you live. If in doubt, have an electrician do it.
Can I fit one of these in a corner?
A corner works if the wall box sits far enough from the return wall to clear the fixture. Check the width: the Globe Pull Chain Bar backplate measures 11.8 in (30 cm) on its long side, while the Fluted sconce is 5.5 in (14 cm) wide and 3.1 in (8 cm) deep.
Can I install a sconce on a panelled or shiplap wall?
The backplate needs a flat seat against the surface, so a raised panel or a ribbed board can leave a gap behind it. On a boarded wall a flat mounting block behind the backplate is the usual fix, which is worth planning with your electrician.
My junction box is off-centre. Will it still look right?
The fixture centres on the box, so an off-centre box will show. The Globe Pull Chain Bar backplate, at 11.8 x 4.7 in (30 x 12 cm), gives the most surface to disguise a small offset. Moving the box is the only true correction.
Is there a sconce here that mounts horizontally?
The Bar backplate on the Globe Pull Chain sconce is the elongated design, measuring 11.8 x 4.7 in (30 x 12 cm), with the globe set to one side rather than above or below. The other sconces are shown upright and the listings do not cover other orientations.
Can I fit a sconce above a headboard?
That is among the listed uses for the Macaron Bedside and Globe Pull Chain sconces. Watch the projection over the bed: the Macaron Cylinder reaches 9.4 in (24 cm) from the wall, so the shallower Dome or the Fluted sconce may sit more comfortably above a headboard.
How much clearance do I need above the fixture?
The listings do not state a clearance figure, so we cannot give you a number. Keep the fixture clear of curtains, bedding and the undersides of shelves, and where light aims upward, as on the Fluted up-down sconce, leave the wall above it open.
Materials and finish
What are the shades made of?
Painted iron with a matte finish on the Bear Nursery, Macaron Bedside and Vanity sconces, and on the Globe Pull Chain backplate. The Fluted hallway sconce is molded resin with a ribbed texture. The globe on the Globe Pull Chain sconce is frosted opal glass.
Is the wood on these real wood?
The wood parts are rubberwood. The Bear Nursery sconce has a rubberwood wall mount, the Macaron Bedside sconce a rubberwood base and cap, and the Vanity sconce a rubberwood cap with the option of a natural rubberwood backplate instead of a painted iron one.
Is the globe glass or plastic?
On the Globe Pull Chain sconce the globe is frosted opal glass, about 4.7 in (12 cm) across. The Vanity sconce has no glass shade at all: it holds an exposed round globe bulb in a painted iron cone with a rubberwood cap.
Are the finishes glossy or matte?
Matte. The Globe Pull Chain backplate is described as painted iron with a matte finish, the Bear Nursery shade as soft matte, the Macaron Bedside shade as matte painted iron, and the Fluted resin body as matte with its ribbed fluted texture.
Do you have brass or bronze wall sconces?
Not in this collection. The finishes here are painted iron in soft colours, molded resin, natural rubberwood, frosted opal glass, and a chrome swivel joint on the Bear Nursery sconce. There is no brass, bronze or antique metal option in the range.
What colours can I choose from?
It depends on the model. The Bear Nursery sconce comes in eight colours, the Macaron Bedside in thirteen design-and-colour combinations, the Vanity sconce in five colours with an iron or wood backplate, the Globe Pull Chain in black, beige, chartreuse green and coral red, and the Fluted in four.
What do the Fluted sconce colour names actually look like?
White reads as ivory, Green as olive, Orange as terracotta and Grey as a dark charcoal. They are muted rather than bright, which is why the fluted resin body reads as a quiet japandi or wabi-sabi piece rather than a colour statement.
Is the green on one sconce the same green as another?
No, treat them as separate colours. The Globe Pull Chain green is described as chartreuse and its red as coral, while the Bear Nursery, Macaron Bedside and Vanity sconces each list their own colour sets. Compare the product photos before mixing two models in one room.
Will the wood parts match my furniture?
The wood is rubberwood in a natural tone rather than a stained finish, so it reads light. It sits easily beside oak, ash and linen, and contrasts against dark walnut. The Vanity sconce also offers a colour-matched iron backplate if you would rather skip the wood.
What is the swivel joint made of?
On the Bear Nursery sconce the joint is chrome, and it both rotates and tilts so you can aim the beam. The Macaron Bedside head swivels about 90 degrees and the Vanity head swivels up, down or across, though those listings do not name the joint material.
Rooms and uses
Are these candle sconces or electric wall lamps?
They are electric wall lamps wired for mains power. Nothing in this collection holds a real candle or a taper. If you searched for candle wall sconces meaning a holder for a wax candle, these are not that: they take LED bulbs in G9 or E27 sockets.
Do you sell wall sconce candle holders?
No. There are no candle holders, candlestick sconces or tealight wall pieces in this collection. Every fixture here is an electric wall lamp that hardwires to a wall box, so it needs power at the mounting point rather than a match.
Can I put one of these in a bathroom?
The listings do not state a damp or wet rating for any of these fixtures, so we cannot say they are approved for a bathroom. The Vanity sconce lists dry bathroom walls among its uses. For anything near a shower or a tub, contact us before ordering.
Can these be used outdoors, on a porch or a patio?
No. The Fluted sconce states indoor use on dry walls, and none of the listings state an outdoor, damp or wet rating. Treat the whole collection as indoor only, and do not fit these on a porch, carport or garden wall.
Which sconce suits bedside reading?
The Macaron Bedside sconce is built for it, with a head that swivels about 90 degrees to point the beam at your page and coverage of about 108-160 sq ft (10-15 sq m). The Globe Pull Chain sconce adds a chain switch you can reach from the pillow.
What works in a nursery?
The Bear Nursery sconce is the one designed for that room: a painted iron shade with bear ears, a rubberwood mount, a chrome swivel to aim the light at the story, and a rotary knob on the body. The listing recommends a warm-white LED around 2700K.
Do you have anything for a hallway or a stair landing?
The Fluted resin sconce lists hallways, stair landings and entryways as its intended spots. It throws light both up and down from a body that projects just 3.1 in (8 cm), which keeps a corridor clear. Two or three down a run read as a set.
What would work above a sofa?
The Fluted up-down sconce names above the sofa as one of its walls, and its twin openings wash the wall rather than spotlighting the seat. If you would rather aim light down into a reading chair, the Macaron Bedside or Vanity swivel heads do that.
Is there something for beside a mirror?
The Vanity sconce is the mirror-side option: 5.1 in (13 cm) tall with a 6.7 in (17 cm) reach, an exposed globe bulb, and a head that swivels up, down or across. Its listing names beside-mirror, bedside, hallway and dry bathroom walls.
Will one of these work over a desk or a study nook?
The Bear Nursery listing names a study desk among its rooms, and the Macaron Bedside sconce covers about 108-160 sq ft (10-15 sq m) with a swivel head you can aim at the work surface. Both keep the desktop clear compared with a table lamp.
Do you have mid-century modern sconces?
The Fluted resin sconce is the closest in this collection: its style is listed as japandi, wabi-sabi, minimalist and mid-century, and the ribbed half-cylinder with up-down light reads that way in a hallway. The rest of the range is described as nordic, Scandinavian and macaron.
I can't mount on the wall. Is there a ceiling option here?
This collection also carries flush mount ceiling fixtures, including a wood drum 9.1 in (23 cm) across in a Slim 1.9 in (4.8 cm) or Tall 4.7 in (12 cm) profile, and an 8.7 in travertine and wood fixture. Both mount to the ceiling, not the wall.
Renting and no-wiring options
I rent and cannot rewire. Can I use these sconces?
Only where a working wall box already exists and your lease allows a fixture swap. Nothing in this collection is plug-in, so there is no no-wiring route. If your rental has an existing sconce box, an electrician can change the fixture over.
Can a hardwired sconce be converted to plug-in?
The listings do not offer a plug-in cord kit and we do not supply one. Converting a mains fixture to a cord and plug is electrical modification work, so if you want to explore it, that is a question for a licensed electrician rather than something to improvise.
What is the least invasive way to fit one of these in a rental?
Use a box that is already there. Swapping an existing hardwired sconce for one of these leaves no new holes beyond the original mounting points, and the old fixture can go back up when you leave. Get your landlord's agreement in writing first.
Can I take the sconce with me when I move out?
Yes. These are not built into the wall; they mount on a wall box and can be taken down and refitted elsewhere. Have an electrician disconnect it, and keep the original fixture so you can put the wall back the way you found it.
Do you have peel-and-stick or battery wall lights for renters?
No. There is no adhesive-mount, rechargeable or battery fixture in this collection. Every wall lamp here needs mains power at the mounting point, which rules out the stick-on picture-light style that renters often use to avoid wiring altogether.
If I am shopping for plug in wall sconces, will I find them here?
Not in this collection. A plug-in sconce runs a cord down the wall to a socket, while the Houseland sconces wire inside a wall box and the listings describe them as having no visible cord. If a plug is essential for your wall, these will not suit.
My landlord will not allow new wiring. What are my options here?
If there is no existing wall box, none of these will work, and the flush mount ceiling fixtures in this collection hardwire too. The honest answer is that this range assumes a live mounting point, and without one there is nothing here we can recommend.
Care
How do I clean the frosted glass globe?
Wipe the glass and the metal with a dry soft cloth, which is what the listing specifies. Do it with the light off and cool. Keep sprays and solvents off the painted backplate, since the matte finish marks easily once it gets wet.
How do I clean a painted iron shade without marking it?
A dry soft cloth is the listed care method for the Bear Nursery, Macaron Bedside and Vanity sconces. The paint is a soft matte, so avoid abrasive pads and household cleaners, and dust regularly rather than letting a film build up that needs scrubbing.
How do I look after the wood parts?
The rubberwood mounts and caps take the same dry soft cloth as the rest of the fixture. Do not soak them or use an oil-based polish, since the listings do not specify a treated finish, and keep them out of steamy positions such as an unventilated bathroom.
How do I get dust out of the ribs on the fluted sconce?
Wipe with a dry soft cloth, as the listing states. The molded resin flutes trap dust in the grooves, so a soft dry brush run along the ribs clears them faster than a cloth. Keep water and cleaning sprays off the matte surface.
Ordering and delivery
What do the wall sconces cost?
The sconces run from about 72 to about 114 US dollars depending on model and variant. The Vanity sconce starts at $72.22, the Bedside Wood at $74.99, the Fluted at $83.79, the Macaron Bedside at $86.47, the Bear Nursery at $97.89 and the Globe Pull Chain at $104.46.
Why does the price change when I pick a different colour?
Variants are priced individually. The Globe Pull Chain sconce ranges from $104.46 to $113.80 across its backplate shapes and colours, the Vanity sconce from $72.22 to $76.54, and the Macaron Bedside from $86.47 to $89.15. The price shown updates as you select.
Does adding a bulb change the price?
The Macaron Bedside and Vanity sconces both include a bulb choice in their options, with a no-bulb setting available. The listed price range covers those combinations, so select your bulb option and read the price that appears before adding the item to the cart.
Can I order a matched pair?
The listings are for individual fixtures and do not state that a pair ships together, so add two to the cart if you want a run down a hallway or one either side of a mirror. Check stock on the exact variant before ordering both.
How do I check the delivery time to my address?
Shipping options and timing appear at checkout once your address is entered, since they depend on the destination. The product listings do not carry a delivery estimate. If you need a date confirmed before booking an electrician, contact us and we will check that item.

Questions people ask before buying
Seven sconces, five pendants and four ceiling fittings: why is this called Wall Lamps?
Seven of the sixteen. The remaining nine are ceiling fittings: five E27 pendants on an adjustable cord and four flush or surface mounted ceiling lights, including a spotlight and a travertine hallway fixture. The collection is named Wall Lamps and a bit more than half of it is not one, so filter to the sconces if a vertical wall is what you are lighting.
Why are there 420 variants across only sixteen products?
Color. This is a macaron range and the finish choice is the product. One bedside sconce is offered in three shade shapes across thirteen colors, another in eight colors, a pendant in seven, a fluted hallway light in ivory, olive, terracotta and dark charcoal. Add shade size, bulb and color temperature choices on top and sixteen listings become 420 buyable combinations.
What is the price spread and is there anything under $70?
No. The cheapest listing starts at $72.22 and the most expensive starts at $124.99, with a median start of $102.22 and a highest single variant of $165.99. Eight listings start under $100 and eight start at $100 or more. This is a narrow, mid-priced range with no budget tier and no statement piece, which is unusual and worth knowing before you compare it to a lighting showroom.
Which of these is a reading light and which is just decoration?
Six of the sixteen have a head that moves, and those are the reading lights. The bear nursery sconce has a chrome swivel joint, the macaron bedside sconce swivels about ninety degrees, and the vanity sconce aims up, down or across. A fixed sconce throws the same pool of light wherever you mount it, which is fine beside a mirror and frustrating beside a pillow.
What is missing from this collection?
Anything that plugs into a socket. Every fixture here that documents installation is hardwired to a wall or ceiling box with no visible cord, so there is no renter-friendly option, no clamp light and no floor lamp. There is also no integrated smart or app-controlled fixture, and bulbs are mostly not included. If you cannot run wiring, nothing on this page will work.
Is a sconce a better bedside choice than a lamp on the nightstand?
A sconce if the nightstand is small or shared, a table lamp if you rent. A sconce gives the whole surface back and puts the light above the book instead of beside it, but every one here is hardwired, which means an electrician and a wall box. A table lamp needs no permission and no holes. The trade is floor plan against flexibility, not light quality.
Are bulbs an extra cost across this range?
Most of them. The listings that document it say the bulb is not included, and several offer a 7W or 12W warm or cool LED as a paid add-on instead. Sockets are E27 on most fixtures, which takes the standard US E26 bulb, and G9 on one frosted globe sconce with a 7W LED maximum. Budget for a bulb per fixture unless you tick the option.
Who fits these and what do they need?
An electrician, and a wall or ceiling box behind the mounting point. One listing says it directly: fit by a qualified electrician, and confirm the wall box, the switch setup and local code first. Voltage ranges given across the collection are 90 to 260V, 110 to 240V and 85 to 265V. Only two listings have a switch on the fixture itself, a pull chain and a rotary knob.
Is there a Houseland option if I want light and wall decor in one object?
Yes, in the Wall Art collection rather than this one. Twelve of the forty-one listings there are backlit panels that carry their own warm-white LED, a slim shelf and a glass bud vase, and six of those offer a battery power option, which is the only way to get light onto a wall in this store without wiring. They are a decorative wash rather than a task light.
Are Nordic macaron fixtures still a current look?
They have outlasted the trend cycle that produced them because the shape is plain and the color does the work: a painted iron dome or cone on a rubberwood base reads as Scandinavian rather than as a specific year. Fourteen of these sixteen listings are in that language. Whether it suits your room is a palette question, and the thirteen-color and eight-color options exist for that reason.
