This past weekend I was at Home Depot and instead of just going for supplies I actually walked through the lighting department and checked everything out. In the to the trade world lighting can get really pricey! I think that is why a lot of people leave the fixtures that were in their home/apt when they arrived, but let me tell you lighting makes all the difference in a design of a room and shouldn’t be forgotten.
Here are some stylish yet budget friendly options available at Home Depot for less than $100!
No. 1: I love using wall sconces in living rooms, offices and nurseries. This sconce is a great neutral item that can work in a number or different design styles. Leave it as or paint it a different color and add trim to the shades. Only $29.97
No. 2: Vintage lighting is a big design trend that isn’t going anywhere. I love using flush mounts like this in laundry rooms or kitchens. This piece is only $39.90 and reminds me of this beauty from School House Electric.
No. 3: This pendant light is a great option for a feminine piece that isn’t overly girly. Only $66.38.
No. 5: I love using semi-flush mount fixtures in bedrooms that have low ceilings. This pieceis classic and crisp looking and only $64.89.
No. 6: Love this chandelier.It would be perfect in a dining room. It has a great amount of lighting with 5 bulbs and pretty details like the ring at the very top. I would probably paint it a fun color or metallic gold, but at $51.60 it’s still budget friendly to get a can or two of spray paint.
No. 7: Thomas Edison bulbs are everywhere and they would look right at home on this pendant.Just like the vintage trend the industrial trend seems to still be going strong. You could do a whole grouping of these, because they are only $19.99. Love the red rope design detail.
No. 8: In love with these sconces.They look so high end and would work look right at home in any to the trade showroom, but they are a steal at $49.
No. 9: This chandelier has a slight Mad Men vibe to it and would look great in a dining room with a Mid-century table and chairs. This is slightly above my $100 budget at $102.97, but still really budget friendly.
All you have to do is a little digging to find some diamonds in the rough in big box stores.
These are great, thanks so much for sharing! We are in the beginning phases of renovating our new home, and I have definitely had lighting on the brain!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
