No Hardwiring, No Problem – Plug-In Sconces Turn Wall-Mounted Lighting Into a Breeze, and These 12 Are the Chicest Picks

A bedroom with floral wallpaper on the walls, a black metal bedframe, light pink bedding, and two black plug in wall sconces on either side of the bed.

Don't get me wrong, I love the elegance of hardwired sconces – their flush fit against a wall, their effortless glow, and of course, their clean, cordless look. But what I don't love is their permanence – designed to stay put, hardwired sconces force you to make a long-term design decision.

There's an easy alternative wall-mounted lighting idea that's far less permanent but equally as stylish as hardwired sconces: plug-in sconces. As the name suggests, these sconces conveniently plug into outlets to power on. They're far more adaptable than their hardwired counterparts, plus, they eliminate the need for you to call an electrician for installation. All you need to do is choose a spot on your wall, mount the sconce in its place, plug it in, and voila – an instant atmosphere shift with little to no effort.
