Home Lighting Guide: Choosing the Right Fixtures and Bulbs

Barnlight Electric Light Flushmount Fixtures - The Inspired Room Lighting Sources

I enjoy updating the lighting throughout our home because it adds character and personality to each room. Many readers ask where I source my fixtures and which specific models I use, so I’ve gathered a complete list of the lights in our house along with options and ordering details to make it easier for you to find the same styles.

Some items are currently out of stock or discontinued, but wherever possible I’ve suggested comparable alternatives.
