Added these to two rental units to justify a higher rental rate. They photograph brilliantly for listings and give the spaces a boutique hotel feel. Tenants love them and I have had zero issues with the hardware in several months of use.
I design interiors for a living and this sconce punches well above its price point. The proportions are considered, the finish is refined, and the bidirectional lighting is genuinely functional rather than decorative. I have recommended it to two clients already.
Was looking for a modern sconce that was not too flashy. The Shashi is perfect — understated but high quality. The LED is bright enough for a hallway but soft enough to not feel clinical. The black finish does not show fingerprints either which is a bonus.
Installed flanking my bathroom mirror and the effect is stunning. No more harsh overhead shadow from ceiling lights — the Shashi gives even flattering light that actually helps when getting ready. The brass finish against black tile is a winning combination.
The pearl black finish is really something — photos do not fully capture it. It has depth to it. The sconce itself feels solid and well made. The LED output is consistent and the up/down cast creates a lovely ambiance in our bedroom.
Installed one in the bedroom first. Liked it so much I ordered three more for the hallway the following week. The consistency of the finish across all four units is great — clearly well quality controlled. The light effect stacked along a hallway looks incredible.
No fuss, no surprises — this lamp arrived, it looked exactly like the pictures, and it does exactly what is described. The bidirectional light is a real feature, not just a gimmick. It creates a proper ambient atmosphere. Would buy from Alaya Decor again.
I compared this to sconces at three times the price in furniture stores and honestly this holds its own. The finish is excellent, the LED quality is good, and it photographs beautifully. Really pleased.
I run a small wine bar and installed four Shashi sconces along the main seating wall on a dimmer. The warm LED at low intensity creates exactly the right evening atmosphere — intimate without being too dark. Multiple customers have specifically asked what brand they are. Will be ordering more for the second room.
I ordered the pearl gold variant for our reading room and it is absolutely the right call. The warm gold finish against our sage green walls looks very considered — like something from a boutique hotel reading lounge. The upward glow bouncing off the ceiling with the gold highlight is genuinely special.
I have a long staircase wall that was just blank and sad. Put three of these Shashi sconces in a row going up and it looks incredible — like a boutique hotel. The light pools on the wall beautifully. My friends keep asking where I got them.
I put two of these flanking a piece of artwork in my vanity beside the living room, and it looks like something out of an interior magazine. The up-and-down light cast is just perfect for highlighting art. The pearl black finish is stunning — not flat black, it has a subtle sheen.
I installed two Shashi sconces in my Airbnb master bedroom and my review scores jumped. Multiple guests have mentioned the lighting specifically in their reviews. The warm LED glow photographs really well too which helps my listing. Solid investment.
I take a lot of photos at home for social media and the Shashi is genuinely one of the best things to happen to my content. The warm bidirectional glow photographs beautifully and gives any lifestyle shot a warm professional quality. People always ask about it in comments. It earns its place.
Our bedroom is painted a very deep navy and I was worried a sconce would be lost against such a dark colour but the opposite is true. The pearl black disappears subtly into the wall and the warm light creates a beautiful glow against the dark paint. It looks like it was made for the room.
Just moved into a new build with completely blank walls. The Shashi sconces were the first things I ordered and they immediately made the living room feel like a home rather than a show unit. Clean lines that complement modern architecture.
I built a gallery wall in our dining room and needed ambient lighting that would not overpower the art or create harsh glare on the prints. The Shashi is perfect — the up-down glow bathes the wall in warm light that complements every piece without spotlighting any one of them.
Bought this as a housewarming gift for my sister. She sent me a photo of it installed and it looks so good I immediately ordered one for myself. The packaging was also really nice which matters when gifting.
First house, first time decorating from scratch and the Shashi was one of the early decisions I made that I have been most pleased with. It gave the living room personality before I had even finished furnishing it. An interior designer friend visited and asked immediately where I had sourced it. High praise.
Took out dated brass sconces from the 90s and put these in. The transformation is night and day. The pearl black is timeless and modern without being cold. The LED quality is excellent — warm but not yellow. My partner was skeptical and now loves them.
Photos really do not do this justice. When you see the up-down light fan in person against a textured wall it is genuinely beautiful. I have a limewash wall and the way the light plays on the texture is stunning. My most complimented home detail.
Mounted one above my desk to add ambient light and reduce eye strain from overhead fluorescents. The upward component bounces light off the ceiling beautifully and the downward wash hits the desk at a perfect angle. Did not expect to love it this much.
The dual direction lighting really makes this sconce special. I have seen similar designs in high-end hotels and this absolutely matches that quality. The pearl black colour is rich and does not look cheap. Installation was a bit tricky but manageable.
Two pearl gold Shashi sconces either side of our bed and we genuinely feel like we are in a five star hotel every night. The warm gold tone against our warm white walls and the soft bidirectional light is just beautiful. Freed up the nightstands too which was an added bonus. Absolutely love them.
If you have a modern or contemporary home this sconce is a great fit. The black finish works with so many color palettes. I have it against a warm white wall and it is a striking combination. Quality feels premium. Very happy with the purchase.
I have a small breakfast nook area off the kitchen that always felt a bit forgotten. A single Shashi above the bench seat transformed it into the nicest spot in the house. The warm light makes morning coffee feel like a proper ritual. A genuinely simple addition with an outsized effect.
I am always a little nervous ordering lighting online but this arrived exactly as shown. The pearl black finish is rich and consistent and the LED cast is warm and even. Installation took about 20 minutes with basic tools. One of my better online purchases.
