Coastal Gourd Woven Wall Light, Faux Rattan Outdoor Porch Sconce

The best outdoor spaces feel like rooms. Soft textures, warm light and natural materials turn a porch or patio into a place to linger, and a woven light is one of the quickest ways to get there.

The Coastal Gourd Woven Wall Light has a hand woven faux rattan shade in a double gourd shape, hung from a curved stainless steel arm on a round backplate. It comes in a wood or coffee finish and three sizes: 7.8 by 14.9 inches, 9.8 by 18.9 inches and 11.8 by 22.8 inches, width by height. A replaceable E27 base LED bulb gives 585 lumens at 6W with a color rendering index above 90. It is hardwired at 110V to 220V, rated IP65 for rain and dust, and lights about 86 to 171 square feet.

What makes the gourd light stand out

The weave makes the light. The open, hand woven pattern lets the glow slip through in soft stripes, so the wall around the light fills with layered patterns and the space feels calm.

The double gourd shape is playful without being fussy. Two rounded lobes give it a relaxed, coastal character that suits beach houses, cottages and garden rooms.

The material is made for outside. The shade is faux rattan rather than natural cane, and the arm and backplate are stainless steel, so it can live on an exterior wall.

The two finishes suit different settings. Wood is light and natural, and coffee is a deeper brown that looks rich against white render or pale stone.

The high color rendering bulb shows plants, wood and skin tones naturally, and it can be replaced when needed.

Where it looks best, around the house

• Beside the front door. A pair of woven gourds gives the entry a relaxed welcome.
• Porches and verandas. Soft patterned light for evenings outside.
• Garden walls. A warm, textured glow among the planting.
• Covered patios. A woven light makes an outdoor seating area feel like a room.
• Pool houses and cabanas. A coastal touch by the water.

It suits coastal, bohemian, Mediterranean, cottage and farmhouse homes, and brings warmth to a simple modern exterior.

Choosing the size and placement

The three sizes are 7.8 by 14.9 inches, 9.8 by 18.9 inches and 11.8 by 22.8 inches, width by height. Compare the height with your door and the wall around it.

A few guidelines help:

• For a small porch or a narrow wall, the smallest size keeps the look light.
• For most front doors, the middle size looks balanced.
• For a wide entry or a tall wall, the largest size has the most presence.
• Plan the wiring with an electrician, and set pairs at the same height on each side of the door.

All required mounting hardware and instructions are included.

Layering it with other lighting

A woven sconce is the mood layer. Add warm outdoor string lights over a patio and the whole space glows in the same relaxed spirit.

Along the garden, low path lights guide the way without competing with the woven pattern.

Keep the light warm and the finishes natural across the space, so wood, rattan and planting read as one scene.

Care is simple. Switch it off and let it cool, lift dust from the weave with a soft brush, and wipe the metal with a soft, dry cloth and dry it fully. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners.

The shade also earns its place in daylight. The hand woven texture softens hard surfaces like render, stone and concrete, and the gourd outline adds a gentle curve to straight walls and doorways. In the wood finish it pairs naturally with teak furniture and planters, while the coffee finish echoes darker wood, wrought iron and terracotta, so it is easy to fit into an outdoor space that already has a look of its own.

Is the gourd light right for your space?

This light is a strong fit if you:

• Want a relaxed, coastal look outside.
• Love woven textures and soft patterned light.
• Want a choice of wood or coffee finish.
• Need a size for a small porch or a wide entry.

It may not suit a very formal traditional entrance, or someone who wants a bright, even light for security.
