14 Rattan Wall Lighting Ideas that I love for a Coastal Home

Wall Lighting Ideas for your home!

Wall lighting provides a lovely soft ambience in a bedroom, living room or hallway (make sure to use a dimmer switch with them!) and above all gives a more subtle glow than an overhead ceiling light or pendant. I tend to turn off the main light and use wall lights as an extra layer of lighting alongside table lamps.

Wall lights work well as task lights next to a bed and are great in a smaller space where there’s no room for a table lamp on the bedside table. Look out for ones with articulated or flexible arms! I like the personality and drama that wall lighting can add to a hallway where there’s often there’s not much room for furniture. Wall lighting can be used to create lovely ‘moments’ in your home by highlighting a favourite feature or artwork.

I love to layer wall lights into our lighting schemes. We have been under construction with our Airbnb project all year, consequently, we have been able to start from scratch with a lighting scheme for each room. Although It’s best to plan for wall lights at the beginning of a renovation to ensure the wiring is in the correct place, this is not always possible.

If you are not renovating, plug-in wall lights are a good solution if you don’t want to chase out your walls! With that in mind, look out for a blog post with my favourite plug-in wall lighting ideas – coming soon!

Rattan is a great material for wall lights, adding texture, warmth and a coastal charm. Here are 14 of my favourite rattan wall lights from budget to luxe!

my fave rattan wall lights

all the links!

1. I love the drama of the large articulated Padma Sconce. It would make a great statement next to an armchair in a living space. Warning: in the luxe price range!
2. Marks & Spencer Wicker Scalloped Wall Light. A well-priced budget wall light.
3. The flexible wall arm makes this a great option for next to a bed. It’s the Phoebe Flexible Wall Arm in antique brass with an 18cm pendant shade in natural rattan.
4. A smaller articulated wall light, can also be used in a bathroom. Avon Wall Light with Rattan Downlight Shade.
5. I love the warmth of this more traditional coloured rattan. This shape is great for narrow spaces. Luna Wall light in Teak.
6. A fabulous budget option which is fully dimmable (essential!) Also available in brass. Black Wall Light with Rattan Shade.
7. A great option for a hallway as it sits flush to the wall. The Athena Wall Light with its shell-inspired scalloped shade is a lovely whimsical nod to the coast, and it casts a softly diffused upward light.
8. A directional wall light which could be used over shelves or as a picture light or I could see it in a kids room! I particularly like the way that the black elevates a simple design. Lindby wall light with rattan shade and black base.
9. A couple of rattan shade options (9 + 10) – I have used both! This one, in light rattan, comes in lots of different sizes for wall lighting, from 9cm to 20cm diameter.
10. This darker rattan shade is great quality and an absolute bargain!
11. A sister to (7) this Athena Wall Light with scalloped shade casts a diffused downward light and is on a lovely tall brass plate.
12. This sconce has the rattan wound around the plate part of the wall light rather than the shade. It’s subtle and still feels coastal. Hector Wall Light
13. I love the brass border detail on the rattan shade here, it looks super considered and belies its high street price! These would look fab next to a bed.
14. Another shade option for a wall sconce, this Rattan Scallop Shell Shade is full-on coastal, whimsical and fun!

Lastly, for options (9), (10) and (14), I find Pooky has a comprehensive choice of light fixings that you can buy without a shade.
