Our Picks
Clear wall light cover
Minimal but not too plain, this sconce shade consists of a drum shape crafted from glass while a hammered, textured finish infuses it with a subtle character. It is delivered as a set of three, each measuring 5.5" tall and 3.5" wide.
Designer Advice:
This cover is a top favorite on our list for a handful of reasons, the main one being: it adapts to ever-changing interior decorating styles. Clear glass—because of its neutral appearance—goes with everything from industrial to farmhouse, modern to traditional. This also means that it is less likely to go out of style. And, the cherry on top? It can be used on other light fixtures as well for harmonious matching.
Novelty sconce cover
This one is peculiar in form as it draws inspiration from industrial lighting. Ideal for gooseneck wall sconces, this metal shade delivers concentrated light to where it's needed and is available in white, architectural bronze, satin black, and red to suit your existing color scheme.
Bell shaped wall sconce covers
This 2-piece wall sconce cover set exudes a classic allure, featuring a half-bell shape in off-white, black, burgundy, and cream. The primary material is silk which adds a luxurious touch. Meanwhile, a brushed nickel wired frame provides sturdy support and easy attachment.
Designer Advice:
These light covers are the perfect addition to any space with a traditional atmosphere. Think of shiny fixtures, elegant flowing drapes, and stately furniture. The downside is that they're only suitable for candelabra bulbs. On the plus side, all you have to do is clip them on. Pair them with chrome, brass, or bronze wall sconces and watch the room transform.
Frosted wall sconce cover
Another drum shade, but this time flaunting a frosted glass design. The white matte finish gives off a soft, muted light to update your home's lighting effortlessly. As for size, it has a total height of 6 inches with an open top that measures 4 inches wide.
Wooden wall lamp cover
Here's a wall light cover that's a simple showstopper, a compliment attracter, and a guaranteed statement maker. It's built from the wood board and finished in an oak veneer for a natural look. It is then coated in oil wax for long-lasting beauty.
Designer Advice:
Less means more when it comes to modern minimalist interiors, and this wall light achieves just that. Fortunately, it also makes for an easy DIY wall sconce cover project. To start, you'll need a few materials and tools, such as wood ply, wood glue, a small power saw, and some screws for assembling. The best part is that you can customize the cover to any size you want, depending on your bulb type.
Patterned sconce cover
This handmade sconce cover is more on the artsy side and showcases a white half-cylinder case with an opening at the top and bottom. Cut-out accents adorn the ceramic surface, illuminating its surroundings with a lovely shadowing effect.
