6 Budget Friendly Light Fixtures

1. Hallway Flush Mount Light

We finally replaced the dated brass fixture in our living room! I liked the price (under $40), the clear glass globe, and the simple industrial look. The height of this light is 8” (if you are concerned about ceiling height).

Shop it here, $38.97

2. Bright Laundry Room Light

When we redesigned our laundry room last year, we replaced the original light fixture with a 3-light semi flush light with drum shaped shade. It provides a lot of great light in a small space with no windows. While I purchased it in brushed nickel, it is also available in bronze.

3. Modern Office Ceiling Fan

If you live in a warm climate, ceiling fans are a must! My husband converted our bonus room into an office a few years ago and the space gets more warm than other rooms in the house. I replaced our original fan with a modern black fixture with 4 fan blades.

Shop it here: $129.98

More indoor and outdoor ceiling fan options for under $250.

4. Geometric Entryway Chandelier

Modern chandeliers can easily cost $1,000. So when I spotted this fixture online for under $200 I did not hesitate to order it. This oil rubbed bronze chandelier mimics our window shape, and the 8 candelabra light bulbs give off a lot of light.

Shop it here: $196.62 plus cost of electrician

5. Kitchen Cone Pendant Light

We have this cone pendant in our breakfast nook in Old Bronze (18” diameter). They also sell the pendant light in a smaller 12” diameter option for a smaller space. The canopy is solid metal and it is adjustable. This fixture would be a good fit in dining rooms or kitchens.

Shop it here: $204.99

6. Classic Outdoor Lights

A few months ago we gave our exterior a refresh with paint and new lighting. I selected 17” tall wall sconces in an old bronze finish for a classic look that blends with our neighborhood.

Shop it here: $79.98 (x 4 = $319.92 Total)
