Night Lights

Marble paper night lights started as a new obsession of Susan’s years ago, and they’ve remained a favorite ever since that first batch. Vintage wallpaper and hand-marbled paper wrapped around a small bulb, casting soft light instead of the harsh glow most plastic night lights give off.

Handcrafted Marbled Paper Night Lights for Every Room

Each marbled paper night light begins with paper that’s either hand-marbled or hand-painted, the same materials used for lampshades, simply scaled down to fit comfortably on a nightstand or hallway outlet. The paper glows softly once the bulb is lit, letting the pattern show clearly rather than disappearing into shadow, as a plain plastic night light typically does after dark.

Susan has been making these for years now, working with both marbled paper and vintage wallpaper, the same materials she uses across her custom lampshades. Set one in a hallway, a bathroom, or a child’s room, and it gives off just enough light to navigate safely in the dark without flooding the whole space the way an overhead fixture would.

Traditional Marbled Paper Art Meets Functional Lighting

Here’s what makes this small object worth more than a passing glance.

  • Doubles as decor. A marbled paper night light works as art during the day and functional lighting once evening arrives.
  • Standard bulb, no hassle. Marbled paper night lights use a common small bulb, which can be replaced the same way as any other night light.
  • Sourced from two materials. Susan alternates between hand-marbled paper and vintage wallpaper, depending on availability.
  • Never mass-produced. Each pattern is marbled or painted individually, so no two night lights ever match exactly.

Whether it’s lighting a hallway or sitting quietly on a nightstand, this piece pairs easily with a lamp finished off by one of her finials for lamps.
