This is an easy, no-drill lighting solution using wall sconces, and battery operated light bulbs.
There’s nothing quite like soft, ambient lighting to create a cozy and inviting space, especially when it comes in the form of stunning ceramic seashell wall sconces. When I came across the Black Salt Co. Ariel Sconce, I knew they were the perfect addition to my home. The only problem? I am renting and didn’t want to deal with wiring or drilling into my walls.
That’s when I found the perfect renter-friendly solution—using removable command wall hooks and remote-control battery-operated bulbs from Bunnings. Now, I have the luxe look of designer wall sconces without the hassle! Here’s how I did it.
What You’ll Need:
- Seashell Ceramic Wall Sconces (Mine are from Black Salt Co.)
- Strong Removable Wall Hooks (Choose hooks that support the weight of the sconces)
- Remote-Control Battery-Operated Puck Lights (Available at Bunnings)
- A Tape Measure & Level (To ensure even placement)
How to Install:
Step 1: Choose the Placement
Decide where you want your sconces to go. I placed mine on either side of my bed for a soft, symmetrical look. You could also position them above a console table, in a reading nook, or to frame an artwork.
Step 2: Attach the Removable Wall Hooks
Follow the instructions on the removable hooks and make sure they’re secured properly with the correct weight. I recommend using a level to ensure the sconces will hang evenly.
Step 3: Add the Battery-Operated Bulbs
These bulbs are a game-changer! Just pop them into the sconce and with a quick tap of the remote, they create a cozy glow with two brightness settings. No electricians required!
Step 4: Test & Style
Once everything is in place, step back and test the lighting. Adjust the position if needed, and style the surrounding space to enhance the ambiance.
The soft, diffused light from these sconces adds such a dreamy touch to my space. They work beautifully paired with natural textures and coastal decor. If you love the idea of wall sconces but don’t want the commitment of wiring, this is the perfect solution.
I hope you love it as much as I do!
