LINSEEDS Tulip Milk-Glass Plug-In Wall Sconces, Set of 2

A tulip-shaped milk-white glass shade on a brass-finish arm — the softest light on this list, because opal glass diffuses the bulb instead of pointing it at you. Sold as a pair, with a switch on the cord so you are not reaching behind a headboard in the dark.

Good to know: The cord is visible unless you run it through a cover, and at this price the brass is a finish rather than solid metal, so clean around it gently.

As featured in our guide Best Plug-In Wall Sconces for Renters (No Wiring Needed) (2026).
