Hello I have a corner settee. Got a lamp either end of it, but I like to sit in the corner seat which is the darkest bit. (Settee is tight against wall)
Current ideas are : very bright fairylights in corner of wall. But what else could I do? Settee level shelf with a little lamp on would look weird I think. I don't have the DIY skills to install a wall light . Anyone got any clever ideas or maybe cool little gadgets I don't know about?

You could install a plug-in wall light that has a lead to a normal socket and then you can just attach the light itself to the wall with screws. Or a battery powered led light that sticks on?

You can buy stick on lights, that are easy to recharge. I have these for my wardrobe. You can probably get more suitable designs, just posting this link as an idea https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anywhere-Portable-Wireless-Activated-Rechargeable/dp/B06XNYL7GP/ref=asc_df_B06XNYL7GP/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309929956235&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16961887163318818262&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006672&hvtargid=pla-349469695599&psc=1

Depends how thick your sofa frame is. Would something like this work?

Ooh never thought of a clamp light.
Led strip looks good as I could balance it on settee and the cushions would hide it.
Will look at plug in wall lights too. My walls are not so good so anything list/easy/able to be fixed on by command strips would be optimal
