How to Dress Up Plug-In Wall Sconces (and avoid cord purgatory ;)

Cords can make even the most polished space looked cluttered. So as someone who loves a plug-in wall sconce, I made it my mission to find a good solution. Enter cord cover! Cord cover is a dressy way to cover a loose cord and it can really help elevate a space IMO. Have a look…

Our Farmhouse primary bedroom sources, sconce is #1 below

I’ve used plug-in wall sconces with cord cover in so many of our homes now (Bryant, Ravenna, the Farmhouse, …) and haven’t gotten sick of it yet. It’s such a high-end look and thankfully only takes a couple of minutes to install. Unfortuantely plug-in wall sconce retailers rarely if ever offer cord covers to match. So I’ve rounded up some of my favorite sconce + cord cover pairs, many of which we’ve used in our own homes.
