A plug in wall light is an excellent way of adding a lighting feature without the need for hardwiring. They are ideal for the fluidity of modern living, whether you’re furnishing a new home, updating a rental property or simply want the freedom to update your lighting over time. With the cable forming part of the design rather than something that needs to be hidden, they can also bring a relaxed, informal character to an interior.

Our curated collection of designer plug in wall lights brings together functional task lighting and decorative wall lighting from the world’s leading brands. From workshop-inspired classics and adjustable task lights to sculptural, contemporary designs, these wall mounted plug in lights combine practicality with contemporary design.

Why Choose Designer Plug-In Wall Lights?

The appeal of a wall light with a plug lies in its adaptability. Without the need for hardwiring, these lights can be installed with less disruption and moved more easily if your needs change. They're particularly useful when you want the benefits of wall lighting without committing to a permanent electrical installation.

Many designs in this collection feature adjustable arms, rotating shades or directional light, making them especially useful for reading, working and everyday tasks. Others are chosen primarily for their decorative quality, adding character to a wall while taking up very little surface space.

Key design features of our luxury plug-in wall lights include:

  • Easy installation without the need for hardwiring
  • Adjustable and directional lighting for reading and working
  • Space-saving wall-mounted designs that free up table and floor space
  • Decorative and functional options for different rooms
  • Easy to reposition if your furniture or layout changes
  • Suitable for both residential and commercial spaces

Premium Lighting Designed for Modern Living

The designer plug-in wall lights in our collection are crafted using durable materials chosen for both performance and aesthetic appeal. Powder-coated steel, aluminium, brass and hand-finished metalwork feature throughout the collection, creating fittings that feel substantial while offering the durability needed for everyday use.

Many designs incorporate joints, articulating arms and adjustable mechanisms that allow the light to be positioned exactly where required. This is particularly valuable beside a bed, desk or reading chair, where being able to direct the light can make the difference between a fitting that simply just lights a room and one that genuinely supports how you use the space.

The finish also plays an important role. High-quality manufacturing ensures smooth operation and long-term durability across domestic, hospitality and workplace settings. From sleek metal finishes and bright powder-coated colours to opal glass and even ceramic shades, the right material can help a plug-in wall light feel like an intentional part of the room.

Plug In Wall Lights for Every Space

Plug-in wall lighting works particularly well in households that value flexibility. All the fitting needs is a plug and to be mounted on the wall, opening up more possibilities for furniture placement and styling.

This collection features a variety of wall-mounted lighting solutions, including:

  • Plug in wall lights for bedroom reading and bedside use
  • Adjustable plug in wall mounted task lights for home offices and workspaces
  • Decorative plug in wall lighting for living rooms and hallways
  • Functional wall lights with plugs for kitchens and workshops
  • Architectural wall mounted plug in lights for hospitality projects
  • Modern plug in wall lights that bring a clean, contemporary feel to minimalist interiors

Designer Brands Within Our Collection

Every designer brand in our collection brings its own approach to plug in wall lighting, which means there is plenty of variety beyond the practical advantages of going cordless from the wall.

Anglepoise brings classic British design and their recognisable articulated mechanisms to wall lighting, creating adjustable fittings that are particularly well suited to reading and working. Jieldé takes a similarly functional approach, drawing on its workshop heritage to create highly adjustable lights with an unmistakable industrial character.

HAY offers a more contemporary interpretation, with modern designs made for everyday living that are easy to integrate into a wide range of interiors. Normann Copenhagen also takes a distinctly contemporary approach, balancing practical lighting with clean, considered forms.

For something more traditional, Original BTC combines British manufacturing with hand-finished materials and ceramic shades, creating plug in wall lights with a warmer, more tactile character.

Together, these designers and the others in our collection demonstrate how varied plug-in wall lighting can be, from classic British designs and industrial heritage to Scandinavian simplicity and high-end, contemporary designs.

Styling Designer Plug-In Wall Lights in Your Home

A plug in wall light offers an opportunity to add a decorative accent to your wall, saving surface space and adding interest to a room. The visible cable can also become part of the aesthetic rather than something to disguise, giving these fittings an effortless, relaxed quality.

In bedrooms, plug in wall lights provide ideal lighting for reading in bed without taking up space on the bedside table. The Anglepoise Type 80 Wall Light with plug, switch and cable is a modern classic that creates soft, focused lighting and looks particularly effective installed on either side of a headboard.

In living rooms, a plug in wall light creates flexible accent lighting beside sofas, shelving and occasional seating. Here a more sculptural design like the Marset Ginger Arm Wall Light helps to bring depth and atmosphere to the room, acting as functional art on the wall.

Kitchens and home offices benefit from directional task lighting. The Jielde Signal Two Arm Adjustable Wall Light, available as a plug, switch and cable model, has a long, articulated arm that’s reminiscent of a 1950s workshop lighting design. The wall light is also available in a wide range of colours, making it easy to match or bring a touch of colour to offices and kitchens.

When choosing between modern and more traditional designs, consider the rest of your interior. Contemporary plug in wall lights with clean lines work naturally alongside modern furniture, while industrial-inspired and hand-finished designs can bring character to more eclectic or traditional spaces.

Showroom Tip

Don't let the cable put you off. A visible cable can give a plug in wall light a relaxed, informal quality that works particularly well in bedrooms, living rooms and home offices. If you'd prefer a neater finish, use discreet clips to guide the cable down towards the skirting board rather than trying to hide it completely.

Plug in wall lights are particularly useful when combined with other flexible sources of lighting. For more lighting that can be moved freely around the home, our clip on light collection is particularly good for creating focused lighting on shelves or desks.

For unlimited portability, our collection of rechargeable lamps offers a cable-free option that can be moved to any room of the house.

What are the advantages of using plug-in wall lights?

The main advantage of a plug-in wall light is the ease of installation. They don’t need to be hardwired, meaning they are easy to put on and take off walls. This makes them ideal for adding lighting and decoration to rental properties, or spaces where the décor changes often.

Can a wall light with plug be installed without an electrician?

In most cases, yes. Because the light plugs directly into a socket, installation is typically straightforward and does not require electrical work. Usually all that is needed is to mount the fixture onto the wall. We recommend to always follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines.

What plug in wall lights would you recommend for small places?

To save as much space as possible, choose a neat and streamlined design in a light or bright colour. Models from Anglepoise look great, are fuss free and work well in small places. The Normann Copenhagen Rise Wall Light is another good option as it has a simple, yet bright design in a compact size.

Do your showrooms display any of your plug in wall light collection?

Yes, our showrooms display a wide range of our lighting collection, including plug in wall lights. We recommend calling your local showroom directly to ensure the model you want to see is on display.
