1. DIY Plug In Wall Sconce with Fabric Shade
If you love simple, hotel style bedroom lighting but want a more affordable version, a DIY fabric shade wall sconce is the perfect project. You can use a plug in light kit to avoid wiring, and attach a fabric lampshade of your choice. Choose linen, cotton, or textured fabric for a soft and warm glow.
To elevate the design, mount the sconce on a wooden bracket or a simple metal arm. When lit at night, the shade diffuses the light beautifully, creating the perfect reading corner or bedside ambiance. These lights work well on both sides of the bed to add balance and a subtle luxurious feeling.
One of the best parts of this project is how customizable it is. You can choose neutral shades for a calm minimalist look or select patterned fabrics to add personality. The entire project costs far less than buying actual wired sconces while still offering a high end appearance.
