Friday Five // Lighting Roundup
I’m always on the hunt for lighting that feels fresh and timeless, because even though finish trends shift and certain bulb types fade in popularity (I’m looking at you, Edison bulbs), a light that retains a classic vibe will always be in style. So this week, I’ve rounded up my current faves on the market. From a pendant to a task lamp, these babies are total winners in my book and if you’re in need of a lighting upgrade, you’re certain to find one (or more) that you absolutely love.

NO. 1 PENDANT
If there was ever a perfect pendant, this one would be it. Whether used as a single light or in a trio of pendants over your kitchen island, it's a style you simply can't go wrong with. The brass gives it just the right modern touch while the frosted glass bulb gives off a nice soft glow that creates the ideal ambiance, day or night.
NO. 2 WALL SCONCE
I love a good wall sconce - they're absolute gems for everything from entryway to bedside lighting (or even as an accent in a gallery wall, if you're on board for thinking outside the box!). And with one as classic and chic as this little number, it's sure to be a winner. The black finish and clear globe go with anything - no matter your decor style.
NO. 3 LANTERN
Can't you just picture this beauty above a dining room table?! I'd host a dinner party every day of the week (post quarantine, of course)! With its modern finish and clean lines, it feels fresh, but still manages to retain a bit of old-world glamour and class. If you like to mix modern and traditional styles, this light is definitely for you.
NO. 4 TASK LAMP
Everyone needs a good task lamp - especially since diving into our new work-from-home normal. So, if you're spending more time than ever in your home office (or makeshift home office), why not make it cheery and stylish? I love this brass and white lamp from Target - it's simple and stunning - who could say no?!
NO. 5 FLUSHMOUNT
Nothing makes me cringe more than those old school 90s-era flushmounts - especially when all the other lighting in a home is spot on. Avoid the trap of a one-size-fits-all approach and opt for a totally unique flushmount like this one. The exposed bulb paired with the cream and brass finishes make it a total trendsetter. It's guaranteed to bring your space to life.
Lighting, in my opinion, is one of the most under-appreciated parts of a space, but trust me - when you get it right, it makes all the difference in the world. So, here’s to choosing beautiful lighting. Once you find a go-to style, you’ll never want to leave its side.
