We love lighting as a relatively easy and inexpensive way to make noticeable upgrades to your living space. Lighting can be done on a minimal budget and installed affordably (hello YouTube tutorials!) while having a big impact.
Not only can the right lighting change the look of one room, but consistent lighting style throughout can also feel like a major upgrade by giving your entire home a cohesive feeling. Continuity of style throughout the house with these types of pieces gives you the freedom to express yourself differently in each room while always telling the story of who you are.
Ready to consider refreshing your lighting? We’re digging these farmhouse styles…with a little modern twist.
MODERN FARMHOUSE LIGHTING
The Eastmoreland from Rejuvenation has a gorgeous, classic schoolhouse shape to spaces where you need broad light and compact dimensions of a flush mount.
We love the European feel of the Oliva Star Flush Mount from Pottery Barn and the modern geometric lines. Use it in an upstairs hallway or master bedroom walk-in closet for an unexpected element.
We are suckers for a pretty chandelier! This Traditional Four Light Chandelier from Trans Globe Lighting has all the class and none of the fuss.
Covington Hotel Triple Sconce from Pottery Barn was designed with inspiration from 20th-century train cars, and gives a modern twist to the antiquey bell-shaped shade.
Reminiscent of vintage elevator lighting (going up!), the Pittock Double Sconce from Rejuvenation was inspired by late the 1900’s but with updates that would fit any modern bathroom or front porch.
Stark Minimalist Sconce from Shades of Light is boldly modern, but the matte black finish conjures up wrought iron for that farmhouse feel.
Rustic finish meets modern geometric shapes in this piece from Star of the Show Chandelier from Shades of Light. Need I say more? Currently scheming up a place I could fit this in my house…
The Alden Single Light from Savoy House is simple, practical and classic…but not at all dated.
The Elstead Lighting Provence Sconce from BellaCor is sleek, beautiful and (wait for it) ADJUSTABLE so you can use the light wherever you need it.
Free of floor or table space in your favorite reading nook or bedroom with the Lizette Swing Arm Lamp by Breakwater Bay at Wayfair that looks straight from the Great Gatsby.
