16 Online Lighting Stores That Will Light Up Your Nights

Not getting enough light can lead to eye strain, headaches and tiredness.

The good news is that there’s never been a better time to combat that problem with new and often very affordable lighting.

Our picks for the very best online lighting stores should have all you need to be able to see clearly wherever you are.

Schoolhouse

Portland’s Schoolhouse is all about recreating the lighting styles of yesteryear with a very modern build quality. 

They’re not the cheapest lighting store out there but they make unforgettable pieces that really catch the eye. 

Check out Schoolhouse here.

Etsy

Whatever kind of style of lighting you like, the vintage section at Etsy probably has something for you and it may even be an original piece. 

Of course, it’s worth noting that if you buy vintage lighting, you need to examine it carefully for electrical safety. 

Check out Etsy here.

Wayfair

Wayfair is a big name but that’s not always a bad thing, when it comes to lighting it means that you get a huge selection of bright and breezy modern pieces as well as more classic looks. 

We like their chandeliers which just scream mid-century farmhouse chic. 

Check out Wayfair here.

All Modern

All Modern offers very reasonably priced lighting options and a huge amount of choice, if you’re not sure what kind of thing you like – you may well discover it on their website. 

Be warned though, shopping for lighting can become very addictive when you start to discover options you had no idea existed before.

Rejuvenation

From the folks that brought you the Pottery Barn and West Elm, Rejuvenation is very much about classic lighting though it’s all made in the modern era.

They even sell one-off pieces that you cannot buy anywhere else. 

Check out Rejuvenation here.

Macy’s 

Sure, when you think Macy’s, you think “department store” but their light fixtures’ range is actually very extensive.

One area that they excel in is in outdoor options and if you’re looking to light a garden party, this is where we’d start, particularly if they have a sale on. 

Check out Macy’s here.

Ikea

If you want cheap and cheerful lighting solutions then Ikea is a great place to go. 

Be warned, some of their lights can only be collected directly from a store though most of them are available for delivery too. 

Check out Ikea here.

Birch Lane

There’s enough lighting at Birch Lane to keep you browsing for hours and they’ve got every type of fixture you can imagine and a few that you might not be able to imagine too. 

We like the “best sellers” round up which brings you all the latest fashions at a glance. 

Check out Birch Lane here.

Crate & Kids

If you want child-friendly lighting then Crate & Kids is a great place to score it from and they have a lot of really clever and heart warming options. 

There are also plenty of choices that would be perfectly suitable for an adult’s room and they’re not expensive. 

Check out Crate & Kids here.

Shades of Light

If you want to be able to customize the lighting you buy to exactly match your home then pay Shades of Light a visit. 

They have an incredible number of options for each product that lets you tailor it to your exacting tastes. 

Check out Shades of Light here.

Joss & Main

If you need to do the lighting in your home but the budget’s not exactly massive, you should check out Joss & Main. 

They’ve got a great collection of lights that will suit every room that you have and they won’t break the bank, either.

Check out Joss & Main here.

Williams Sonoma

If we had to pick a favorite store for kitchen gadgets it would be Williams Sonoma but that would be neglecting the fact that they have an amazing “home store” that also deals in light fittings. 

Nothing here is cheap but if you want top quality and the ultimate in modern lighting accessories, you can’t go wrong with Williams Sonoma. 

Check out Williams Sonoma here.

Serena & Lily

Serena & Lily has a definite vibe to its lighting and we think it’s the perfect place to go if you want your lighting scheme to be a bit of a statement. 

Their use of wicker and rattan in their fixtures really makes them stand out from the pack and bedrooms feel cozier for their use. 

Check out Serena & Lily here.

Home Depot

You can’t mention lights without acknowledging the huge selection available at Home Depot.

We admit that we’ve occasionally had issues with the quality of products at Home Depot in the past but given the size of their range this is, perhaps, inevitable. 

Check out Home Depot here.

Houzz

Houzz is an awesome place and their designs are really unique, if you want a touch of steampunk to your lighting, then they can deliver in spades.

And they’re also great for modern and industrial lighting solutions too, they’re the sort of company that interior design websites feature. 

Check out Houzz here.

West Elm

West Elm is great and we like their “design your own” products for lighting enormously, where else can you custom build a chandelier for less than $100? 

Nowhere, that’s where. 

Check out West Elm here.

We hope that you’ve found the ideal lighting solution for your needs at our best online lighting stores and that whatever you’ve chosen doesn’t clash with your ceiling fan choices. 

Once you’ve got the lights sorted, you might want to check out one of our favorite furniture stores, where you can find some pieces to show off in a new light.
