I’m not gonna lie… there is a bunch of weird & bad lighting on Etsy, BUT- I sifted through lots of the bad to find the good. I definitely uncovered some gems for this month’s Best of Etsy post! Click through to see some pretty beautiful light fixtures, including: sconces, lamps, chandeliers, and more.
If there is one thing I’ve learned throughout my design career, it’s not to skimp on lighting. This is the perfect opportunity to add function and beauty to any room. Lighting goes a long way in terms of aesthetic!
Shop my finds by clicking directly on each light fixture below!
Do you have any favorites from the roundup? I certainly do! I really want to buy #2, #4, #11, and #14. There are so many great options.
If you have any lighting questions, hit me with them in the comments below! I’d also love to hear your favorite sources for light fixtures. Right now I’m focusing on our kitchen renovation, and am eagerly awaiting the time to install the sconces.

June 24, 2019 at 6:23 amOooh, those are all good pics. I struggle with buying lighting online because you can’t tell how much light they give off, and if they will work in the room you need them to or not. And if you are having an electrician install them like us a trial and error process could become very pricey! Needless to say, we still haven’t changed out any lights yet even though we reeeeally need to.

June 24, 2019 at 10:05 amThanks Brittany! I find you just have to read the specs carefully… that should tell you how much light they’ll put off :) I’ve purchased every single light fixture for our past 3 homes online. Haha!

June 24, 2019 at 6:32 amWell, there goes another hour looking at vintage lighting on Etsy! I actually have purchased a handmade fixture from a seller and love it! But the vintage Sciorlari and Murano items are the ones that make me drool. There’s not a clinker in the bunch, but I especially love #2, #12 and #25. Happy Monday!

June 27, 2019 at 10:37 amI’m refreshing our (pretty dark) master bathroom, and I’m struggling to figure out what kind of lighting I need for the spot above the mirrors. Right now there is a cheesy, dated three-light sconce (and a flush mount over the toilet.). I wonder: will a single or double sconce with a pretty shade be enough light? Is there a difference in lighting if it’s pointed up or down? (I could probably choose mirrors to fit the sconces pointing in either direction.) A bar sconce would probably give better, even light over the mirror but the look is not my favorite. Etc.!

June 27, 2019 at 2:48 pmI’d recommend mixing different types of lights… recessed can lights, the sconce, the flush mount, etc. A skylight could be another solution! Hope this helps, Tracy!
