Light fixture favorites!

Light fixtures are relatively easy to swap out and make a huge impact for a room. I personally love unique lights! Today I thought I’d share some cool lights that I’ve been seeing across a wide variety of stores. Keep in mind that the price range of these lights vary from reasonable to expensive. Some lights it may make sense to invest in if it means getting the look you want, especially if it’s a dining room light or kitchen pendants. Other lights you can find decent matches for at a better price. One tip is to pin a light on Pinterest and see what similar ones pop up. You can also save a picture of a light and then search for it via google to find potential dupes.

I think it should go without saying that none of the lights I want to use are for sure lights we will use. Once we have a floor plan that is more or less set in stone with the builder, I should be able to play around with SketchUp and decide what size and type of light fits in each space. I also wouldn’t mind choosing a budget friendly option to live with for some time while I really nail down what kind of light looks good.

Also, a brief thank you to my readers. While I hope I’m entertaining you enough with my current content, I can’t wait to bring you on the journey of our home build (hopefully breaking ground in less than a year!!) if that’s what you’re here to read about. Until then, thank you for hanging around!

With all that said, let’s jump right in!!

brass sconce

This light is so cute, and I would love to have it in our new house! You can see it featured in my dream primary bathroom design. Etsy is definitely an underrated place to buy light fixtures!

ceramic pendant wall sconce

I actually saw this in someone’s primary bedroom reveal on Youtube and immediately recognized it. I like the idea of having sconces in our bedroom because it’s one less thing taking up space on a nightstand or getting knocked over by a cat. Maybe I’ll work on our primary bedroom design and see how this light would look!

dainty ceramic pendant

Another Etsy light I love that is very similar to the above one I shared! I am definitely planning on using these pendants in our dream kitchen design! They’re so cute and have just the smallest touch of brass.

globe chandelier

I’m a little too lazy to have to dust all of those globes, but if I saw this in someone else’s house, I’d definitely be pointing out how cool it is! I’ve seen some bathroom designs with this light hung over the tub, and it looks so dreamy!

bronze sconce

This sconce is a perfect example of a transitional design!

linear globe chandelier

This is a contender for our future dining room fixture! I assume we’ll need a larger light with our plans to have a big table, but who knows whether we’ll go with something that has length or instead pair some pendants together.

walnut and brass ceramic sconce

This sconce is so cute! I’m thinking our main floor will end up being more contemporary due to the marble and black/white contrast we have in the kitchen. However, this sconce could sneak into a hallway or even in the lower level where I hope to have a more cozy/warm vibe.

prairie pendant

Love this light! I clearly have a fondness for ribbed/fluted/crinkled/ruffled/all the things light shades, so of course this light fixture made the cut.

porcelain pendant light

This light looks like something that would be crafted in ancient Rome or Greece if they had electricity back then! Very sculptural.

ceramic ruffle and brass pendant light

How cute is this little ruffled light? I think this would be good in a secondary space like a small office, laundry room, etc. Not sure that it’d fit in our house design, but I’m sure it would look great in someone else’s!

brio polished brass pendant light

I love the metal on this light. There’s not a whole lot to say about it, but I had to include it in my list!

ribbed blackened bronze sconce

Another neat sconce! This fixture is pretty much all metal, which makes it interesting!

rattan pendant light

You didn’t expect to see this light on my list, did you? While I’m not a fan of the more boho, straw-like light fixtures (for our house, they look great for other homes!), I do like this fixture. The rattan is sturdy and the walnut makes it look like something you’d find in some old, dusty reading area. While I wouldn’t put this in any of our primary spaces, it’s another fixture that would be cool in a secondary space like a small table for crafts/card or even above a cozy reading chair!

bell flush mount

I’ve had this fixture on my radar for over a year now. It’s a good, simple option if you want a more modern take on a very common and cost effective flush mount.

marble fluted sconce

I mean, a fluted marble sconce was going to make the list no matter the price point. How cool is this?

There are still so many light fixtures that didn’t make it into this post! I have so much more to share from the common home improvement stores, Target, Wayfair, etc. In the future, I may do a follow up post, potentially one that features lights under a certain price point. A lot of the lights I had in this post were expensive, and ones that would be a tough sell for spending money on.

Let me know which lights were your favorite and if you have any recommendations for future posts. Thanks for reading!
