Need Help Picking Light Fixtures for Bedrooms
Comments (3)FWIW, if ceiling fans are fairly typical in bedrooms in your area (especially if you don't have central AC), you can get a simple ceiling fan with light kit for well under $50. Check out lowes.com which is offering free shipping on anything that can be shipped by ordinary means (meaning not by freight truck) on all orders over $49. They also have quite a few nice and inexpensive simple light fixtures - flushmounts and semi-flushmounts - so it's worth a look on that site. I was very pleased with the fixtures I got there; we sold our previous house last year and had to replace virtually every light fixture in the place, since most of it was tacky worst-of-the-80s fake brass with the finish peeling off. I think the only ones we didn't replace were in the garage and cellar! I also hit the clearance section at bellacor.com and got some very good deals on light fixtures there. There's one thing you have to pay attention to in their clearance department, though: up by the first "add to cart" button it will say something like "5 available to ship within 2 business days", but those are NOT the ones on clearance. Look further down the page, to the left of the SECOND "add to cart" button, and it will tell you how many are available at the clearance price. Usually it's only one or two per style because clearance items are typically customer returns (they're checked over to make sure all the parts are there though)....See MoreNeed help picking light fixture
Comments (3)It looks like the height at which current fixture is hung is fine, so you can use that as a guide, and the size of current fixture is also good. Any fixture that you get, you'll want to have on a dimmer, generally speaking. Is this your furniture in these pics? If you offer more of an idea of what you are seeking to change about this look, what styles you are interested in, etc., it might help, in terms of specific lighting suggestions. And as a side note - I don't know if this is your furniture, etc. - but that metal art + sideboard = fabulous....See MoreNEED HELP! QUICK! Picking fixtures for new bathroom!
Comments (1)the first one is better than the second one, but if i was going to mix metals with nickel, it would be bronze not brass...See Moreneed help choosing new light fixture.
Comments (4)What is your ceiling height? I think a simple fixture would compliment your space best. Your front door looks like Craftsman style. So since transitional can mean most anything a drum style might work well....See Moregroveraxle
