Where to Buy Affordable Lighting Online: 18 of Our Go-To Resources


The importance of lighting is real people. Plus, sitting in the dark is only charming for a very short amount of time…like 5 mins I’d say. However, as I am sure I don’t have to tell you, lighting can be v expensive. Would all of us love to be able to afford a $700 floor lamp? Sure. But not all of us can or actually want to put a huge chunk of our budget into just that one department. We absolutely get that and thought that a comprehensive list of our favorite, more affordable, lighting resources would be helpful to fix this issue. To preface, we aren’t saying all of the sources we are about to provide are exclusively in the $50 and under price range. But knowing the market and how pricey lighting is for the most part, this list gives you a much wider range of more affordable options…don’t worry, some are under $50. We’ve got you. Let’s now shine that perfectly warm, slightly dimmed light on our favorites.


Nordic Wall Sconce | Iris Designer Floor Lamp | Color Swirls Table Lamp
Amazon
Yes, Amazon is an amazing resource for not only your books and hard to find beauty products but they have A TON of great and very affordable lighting options. Sure, you have to dig a bit but the reward is lots of savings and 2-day prime delivery. You may remember the sconces from the 120-year-old barn…yep, Amazon baby.

Reynold Matte Black Sconce | Grid Black and White Polka Dot Table Lamp | Plate Matte Black Wall Sconce
CB2
We are all big fans of everything CB2 and their lighting is no exception. While they aren’t super cheap, they are much more affordable than a lot of other similar style resources and are VERY chic (and edgy). Plus, they have sales all the time to help lower that price point.

Modern Black Gold Pendant Lamp | Black Brass Modern Pendant Lamp | Modern Brass Maple Wood Pendant
DL Design Works
This was a killer Etsy find. They have unique modern designs that have natural elements to them which is why they are so great. They have a moderate price point but from where we are standing, look like they are well worth it.

Rockport 1 Light Table Lamp | Mid Century Flowerpot Table Lamp | Mid Century Astia Long Wall Sconce
France & Sons
France & Son is the place to go for moderately priced modern Scandi design. They sell very pretty reproductions at a MUCH more approachable price. Now, we understand the complications behind reproductions and always want to promote original work. We think if you can afford original art then you SHOULD buy it. But original work is unattainable for most. We however, of course, understand the reason for the high prices since SO much work goes into it. It’s a fine line and we get both sides from a consumer standpoint. But will all that said we do love France & Son for making cool lighting accessible.

Oak Table Lamp Cone Shape | Wooden Table Lamp | Oak Table Lamp Bottle Shape
Home and Kitchen
All hail Etsy for showing us this great lighting resource. We are suckers for a good wooden lamp. These handmade beauties are not only real easy on the eyes but also affordable (around $60+). The perfect mix of modern and organic if we say so ourselves.

Modern Natural Wood Oak Tripod LED Floor Lamp | Matte Brass Desk Lamp | Gold/Black Minimalist Resin/Metal LED Floor Lamp
Home Depot
If you go on homedepot.com (the selection is much better than in-store) you are sure to find crazy inexpensive lighting deals. They have A LOT of products in a ton of different styles, so you need to dig a bit but the savings are too good to pass up.

IKEA
Would this even be an affordable roundup post without the great IKEA? No, no it would not. IKEA is constantly stepping it up and we love their new lighting. That black wood floor lamp also comes in natural and Arlyn almost bought it for her living room MOTO. She says it’s even prettier in person so…GO GET IT (if you need it).


White Modern Sconce | Pendant Light | Black & Brass Sconce
Illuminate Vintage
See that sconce on the far right? That is the stunning sconce that Arlyn used in her dining room makeover. So not only can she vouch for the very chic design but also that they have awesome customer service and ship SUPER fast. Have a look because they have a huge selection.
