3. Rattan Basket Boho Dome Sconce

Concept & Aesthetic Appeal

Brings earthy textures and artisanal warmth into any room. By repurposing a flat woven rattan placemat or a shallow fruit basket, you create an effortless boho-chic light fixture that filters light through intricate woven patterns.

Materials Needed

  • A shallow round rattan fruit basket or sturdy woven placemat
  • Gold spray paint (optional, for interior rim detailing)
  • Heavy-duty hanging wire or small brackets
  • Battery-operated puck light or fairy light cluster
  • Wire cutters

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • If desired, lightly spray paint the center interior of the basket with matte gold to reflect a warm, glowing ambiance.
  • Create a small, discreet opening at the back or center of the basket if needed to secure your light source.
  • Mount a small, sturdy wall hook or standoff bracket directly onto the wall where you want your sconce placed.
  • Hang the rattan basket flush against the wall over the bracket.
  • Secure the battery-operated puck light inside the center cavity of the basket using Velcro strips so it can be easily removed for battery replacement.

Styling Tips & Variations

  • Variation: Use a black-painted wire basket lined with natural jute twine for a modern industrial-boho fusion look.
  • Styling: Perfect for styling above a rattan lounge chair in a sunroom or reading corner.
