If there’s one thing that dates your home more than anything else it’s the lighting. Just like clothing, shoes, and handbags, light fixtures are constantly changing. What’s in style today will be passe’ in five years. If something feels “off” in your room, first look at your lights. When you’re selling your home buyers will notice your outdated dining room chandelier. Spend a few hundred dollars and upgrade it; it’s a quick fix and a wise investment.
This Minneapolis bedroom below got a quick, low-cost facelift with a easy upgrade to the 1970’s fixture with a can of black matte spray paint. Yes, that’s all that was needed to make it look cool and trendy again. Mid-century modern, boho, 1970’s are all popular right now. This groovy light fixture had the right 70’s vibe but needed a little boost to make it relevant. You don’t have to replace every light fixture in your home. If you have some cool vintage lights try a DIY upgrade or; replace them with something new and fabulous. Here are a few of my favorite globe styles.
