12 Brass Wall Lights for a Cosy Coastal Home

my favourite brass wall lights!

Renovating our three Airbnbs has meant many late nights looking at wall light ideas. I’ve liked so many that I’m showing my favourites to you by dividing them into different blog posts. This post is about my 12 favourite Brass Wall Light Ideas.

See my other Lighting Blog Posts:

Brass is a lovely material for wall lights, elevating your lighting scheme and adding warmth and a classic look. Here are 12 of my favourite brass wall light ideas from budget to luxe!


Brass Wall lights

using wall lights

I love to layer wall lights into our lighting schemes. It’s best to use a dimmer switch with them so that they provide a lovely soft ambience. I rarely have the ‘big’ light on in a room and opt for lamps and wall lights to give that warm layered glow. These wall lighting ideas are for a bedroom, living room or hallway. Look out for my blog post on Bathroom wall lights which require a different IP (International Protection!) code.

If you are not renovating, plug-in wall lights are a good solution if you don’t want to chase out your walls! Here’s a blog post with my 13 Favourite Plug-in Wall Lighting Ideas.

brass Wall light ideas – all the links!


  1. A brass heart-shaped wall light! What’s not to love?!
  2. A really well-priced vintage-look Double Wall Light with Linen Shades which would be great for a larger living room.
  3. I love the slightly Art Deco look of this oval shape with this gorgeous linen shade.
  4. This Niche Wall Light in Antique Brass gives a welcome luxury hotel vibe! A great directional reading light for next to the bed; it leaves room for statement bedside table lamps.
  5. I love this shape and the gingham-checked shade with the brass border.
  6. A fabulous budget option and complete with linen shade in a lovely grey/buff colour. The Enid Wall Light isn’t dimmable so use a lower-wattage bulb.
  7. I have the sweetly named Twinky Wall Light in the cabin bedroom at The Georgian Flat. I love the scalloped brass shades. They are another rechargeable option that doesn’t require an electrician and are dimmable too! (see pictures below)
  8. An adjustable Wall Light with a slightly industrial look. I love both the Brass and the Nickel versions.
  9. A long-hooded Brass Wall Light, great used over kitchen shelves or in a hallway.
  10. This Clever Wall Light folds back out of the way against the wall. Perfect as an extendable bedside reading light or next to an armchair in the living room. 
  11. The largest Wall Light here, it’s fully adjustable and makes a fab statement light.
  12. The cutest Shell Scallop Wall Light in brass. We’ve used these in the hallway in our coastal Airbnb Stamping Cottage. They’re beautiful and I love the diffused light they give.
