Wall lights do something no other fixture can: they add warm, layered light at eye level without taking up a single inch of floor or table space. Our collection of handcrafted wall lamps brings natural texture to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, bathrooms, and dining areas. Choose a rattan wall lamp for soft, filtered light beside the sofa, a pair of woven fixtures to frame a bed or mirror, or a sculptural shade that doubles as wall art.

Most of our designs are woven by hand from rattan, cane, bamboo, wicker, jute, or raffia, and each one carries small variations in tone and weave. You will also find a selection of fabric, vintage, and modern wall lamps for interiors that want a cleaner or more classic look.
Why Choose Woven Wall Lighting?
A woven rattan fixture softens a wall in a way metal and glass fixtures cannot. The weave diffuses the bulb into a warm, even glow, and the open structure throws gentle patterns of light and shadow onto the surrounding wall. When switched off, the shade still adds texture, so it works as a decorative piece during the day.
Wall-mounted lighting is also practical. It frees up nightstands and side tables, lights narrow spaces where a floor lamp would get in the way, and adds a layer of ambient light that makes a room feel finished.
Wall Lamp Styles
Half-Dome and Shield Shapes
These sit close to the wall and wash light upward and downward. They are ideal for hallways, stairways, and bathrooms where you want soft light without anything sticking out too far.
Swing-Arm and Plug-In Designs
Adjustable arms let you direct light exactly where you need it, which makes them great for reading beside a bed or sofa. Plug-in models need no hardwiring, so they are a smart choice for renters.
Statement Woven Shades
Larger, sculptural shapes such as fans, scallops, and wide drums become a focal point on their own. A large woven shade above a console table, or a pair on either side of a fireplace, instantly adds character.
Whatever shape you choose, a rattan fixture pairs naturally with wood furniture, linen, plants, and other woven pieces. For close-to-the-wall designs, browse our dedicated rattan and bamboo sconces.
Wall Light Ideas by Room
Living Room
Mount a pair of woven fixtures on either side of a sofa, a fireplace, or a large piece of art. A rattan wall light at about 60 to 66 inches from the floor adds warm, eye-level light that makes evenings feel relaxed.
Bedroom
Swap table lamps for wall-mounted shades beside the bed to free up nightstand space. Explore our bedroom wall lamps for more options.
Hallway and Stairs
Space fixtures 8 to 10 feet apart along a corridor or staircase for even, welcoming light.
Bathroom
Place one on each side of the mirror at roughly eye level for flattering, shadow-free light. Choose locations with good ventilation and away from direct water.
Dining Room
Wall lights on either side of a sideboard or buffet add atmosphere and balance the main fixture above the table.
Wicker Designs for a Relaxed Look
A wicker wall light brings a relaxed, casual feel that suits coastal, cottage, and boho interiors. Basket-style weaves and rounded shapes create a cozy pool of light, perfect for a reading corner or entryway. A wicker shade with a tighter weave gives a softer, more intimate glow, while open weaves cast bolder patterns on the wall.
If you are replacing a plain fixture, a wicker wall light shade is one of the simplest ways to add texture to a room without changing anything else.
Cane, Bamboo, Jute, and Fabric Options
Cane
Fine cane webbing creates an airy, open pattern with a mid-century feel. A cane wall fixture looks especially good with vintage furniture, cane-back chairs, and warm wood tones.
Bamboo
Slatted or woven bamboo gives a crisp, clean profile. A bamboo wall light suits Japandi, tropical, and modern interiors, and its straight lines contrast nicely with softer furnishings.
Jute and Raffia
Chunkier natural fibers bring an earthy, tactile look. A woven wall light in jute or raffia feels especially warm in neutral rooms with linen and stone.
Fabric and Modern
For a cleaner or more traditional look, our fabric, vintage, and art deco wall lamps offer soft, even light with classic silhouettes.
Where to Mount Wall Lamps
| Location | Mounting Height | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Living room | 60 to 66 inches from the floor | Keep shades slightly above eye level when seated |
| Beside the bed | About 48 to 60 inches from the floor | Shade bottom just above shoulder height when sitting up |
| Hallway | About 66 to 72 inches from the floor | Space 8 to 10 feet apart |
| Bathroom mirror | About 60 to 66 inches from the floor | Mount on both sides, about 30 to 40 inches apart |
Styling Wall Lights With Natural Decor
Natural fiber fixtures work best when the texture repeats elsewhere in the room. Pair them with a rattan wall mirror, woven wall decor, a cane console, or a few baskets on open shelves. For layered lighting, combine wall fixtures with rattan table lamps, floor lamps, and hanging lights so every corner of the room has a warm glow.
Choosing the Right Bulb
Use LED bulbs in a warm white of around 2700K to 3000K. They run cool, protect natural fibers, and bring out the honey tones of rattan and bamboo. Choose a lower wattage equivalent for bedrooms and a brighter one for bathrooms and hallways.
Caring for Woven Wall Lamps
Dust the shade every few weeks with a soft brush, a microfiber cloth, or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Wipe marks gently with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry completely. Avoid soaking the material or using harsh cleaners.
Shop Wall Lamps for Every Room
From a slim bamboo wall lamp in a hallway to a pair of statement woven shades above a sofa, our collection offers handcrafted wall lighting for every room and every style. Explore rattan, cane, bamboo, wicker, jute, raffia, and fabric designs and bring warm, natural light to your walls.
Frequently Asked Questions About Wall Lamps
How high should a wall lamp be mounted?
In living rooms, mount wall lamps about 60 to 66 inches from the floor. Beside a bed, about 48 to 60 inches works well. In hallways, 66 to 72 inches keeps the light above head height.
Do I need an electrician to install a wall lamp?
Hardwired wall lamps should be installed by a licensed electrician. Plug-in designs simply mount to the wall and plug into an outlet, so they need no electrical work.
Can rattan and wicker wall lamps be used in a bathroom?
Yes, in well-ventilated bathrooms and away from direct water. Mount them beside the mirror rather than near the shower, and use a fixture suitable for the location.
What is the difference between a wall lamp and a sconce?
The terms are often used interchangeably. A sconce usually refers to a fixture mounted flat against the wall, while a wall lamp can also include swing-arm and plug-in designs.
How far apart should wall lights be in a hallway?
Space them about 8 to 10 feet apart for even light along the length of the hallway.
Do natural fiber wall lamps give enough light?
They give soft, ambient light that is ideal for mood and accent lighting. For brighter task light, choose an open weave or combine wall lights with ceiling or table lamps.
What bulb should I use in a woven wall lamp?
Use an LED bulb in a warm white of about 2700K to 3000K. LEDs run cool, which helps protect natural fibers.
How do I clean a natural fiber wall lamp?
Dust it regularly with a soft brush, microfiber cloth, or vacuum brush attachment. Wipe marks with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry fully.
