One thing that I used to think was pricey is lighting. While it definitely can be costly, it totally doesn’t have to be (thanks, Amazon!). Check out these affordable lighting fixtures that will instantly add style to any space.
I also used to think that switching light fixtures would be a big deal, but honestly, once you learn it’s really pretty simple (says the one who didn’t actually do it…) My husband might have something different to say about that, but anyway… 😉
Here is a round up of some of my favorite affordable and stylish lighting from Amazon. Check it out.

Pendant Lighting
Gold Pendant | Black Lantern | Black Pendant
One thing that I try to avoid (especially for kitchens and bathrooms) is any sort of fixture with clear glass. All the dirt and grime can be seen, unless you’re on top of cleaning it. These fixtures will hide dirt better, and hey, they just happy to be pretty too!
Chandelier Lighting
The thing about chandeliers is that most of them can go almost anywhere. Above your bed, above a clawfoot bathtub, above a side table or nightstand, above a dining table (probably the most common option). Here are a few versatile options.
Wooden Globe Chandelier | Drum Shade Ceiling Pendant
Matte Black with Fabric Shade | Sputnik Brushed Nickel Chandelier
Plug-in Wall Sconces
Wall sconces are something that I basically want to add everywhere. The only problem is, they usually need to be hard wired, which requires more money and most likely an electrician (or some major DIY lessons). So having a sconce with a plug is an amazing in-between. Here are a few of my favorite plug-in wall sconces.
Gold Globe Wall Sconce | Black Swivel Arm Wall Sconce
Black Metal Wall Sconce | Warm Brass Plug-in Sconce
Semi-Flush Ceiling Mount Lighting
This guy is as versatile as it gets. Honestly. It can go in a kitchen overhead, a hallway, bathroom, bedroom, closet. You name it. Anywhere you have a ceiling mounted light, go for it. It’s so simple but adds a slight bit of vintage charm with the “Schoolhouse” style.
Bathroom Lighting
Black and White Shade Sconce | Retro Milk Glass Vanity Light
Antique Brass Vanity Light | Black with Opal Glass Vanity Light
You’ll notice that none of these fixtures have clear glass. You’ll thank me later. So much easier to clean, they hide the dirt better.
When you’re looking to make a quick change in your space, I recommend:
1. paint. It’s amazing what just a little bit of paint can do. For $25-50 or so, you can totally transform your space.
2. Accessories (rug, throw pillows, lighting, a few plants)
I hope this helps you on your search for new lighting that doesn’t break the bank.
As always, pin for later down below! Thanks, friends.
