Best Glass Lighting Fixture
Pathson Industrial Wall Sconce With Clear Glass Globe ($56)
If your design style gravitates toward a more vintage aesthetic, you'll be so delighted to have this rustic lighting accent in your home. The retro metal lamp is a great space-saving option if you're looking to brighten up a room but don't have the floor space for a standing lamp. Users can simply turn it on or off via the socket switch.
Best Floor Lamp Lighting Fixture
Joofo LED Torchiere Bright Floor Lamp ($48, originally $60)
This lamp might not look as aesthetically pleasing as other models, but make no mistake — it's actually one of the best floor lamps on the market right now. With thousands of near-perfect reviews on Amazon, reviewers claim that the bright light fixture is a real winner because of its minimalist design, slim, space-saving frame, and customizable settings that allow users to adjust the lamp's color temperature and height. Read our review of the Joofo LED Torchiere Bright Floor Lamp to learn more.
Best Sconce Lighting Fixture
Pack Modern Wall Sconce Set ($40, originally $45)
These wall light fixtures are perfect for a bedroom or hallway. Thanks to their simplified design, the sconce light set is ideal for home spaces that are already well-decorated and need a more basic lighting accent instead of a statement lamp or chandelier. The only con is that they can't be dimmed or adjusted, so if you're looking for something a bit more customizable, it's probably best to check out another option.
Best Chandelier Lighting Fixture
West Elm Curvilinear Midcentury Chandelier ($429)
Any art-lover or fan of abstract design will get a kick out of this midcentury-modern chandelier. The hanging light fixture is quite large, so it's a great option for those who want something that will brighten up the entirety of a room or hallway. We recommend hanging it in a dining room, over a kitchen table, or in any space where you might regularly host guests and need a piece that'll set the tone.
Best Unique Lighting Fixture
West Elm Capiz Round Chandelier ($399)
You'll receive so many compliments from guests with this ethereal rounded chandelier hanging in your home. The elegant light fixture emits a warm, vanilla-like light that's bound to make any space feel cozier. Capiz shell accents cover the piece and provide a boho flair. Because of its tiered shape, the chandelier does drape a bit lower than other hanging light fixtures, so it's best suited for homes with taller ceilings.
Best Rounded Lighting Fixture
West Elm Edie Prismatic Flushmount ($129-$199)
This rounded light fixture will make the most darling addition to any bedroom, living room, or sitting area. It features a prismatic design to ensure that light is evenly emitted throughout. Plus, the textured glass offers a nostalgic flair that'll make your home feel all the more cozy and charming.
Best Table Lighting Fixture
Urban Outfitters Ansel Glass Table Lamp ($79, originally $99)
Add a funky touch to your bedroom or office space with this TikTok-approved table lamp. Shoppers love the glass piece because of its unique shape, high-quality design, and relatively affordable price tag. One reviewer even admitted that while she was "on the fence" about buying the piece, she's been super happy with her purchase, saying: "This lamp looks exactly like the pictures and I'm so glad I bought it — super cute!" Plus, the light fixture is also available to shop in several iridescent colors.
Best Hanging Lighting Fixture
Threshold Designed With Studio McGee Metal Pendant Ceiling Light ($250)
Large hanging light fixtures can be hard to come by, which makes this modern piece from Target such a unicorn find. We love the product's flattering cone shade, which emits a balanced light onto surfaces, making it a great addition to your kitchen space or above your dining table. The only con is that it needs hardwired installation, so it requires some extra work to get it up and glowing.
Best Outdoor Lighting Fixture
Pottery Barn Flora Rattan Pendant ($261-$299)
Embrace all the boho, beachy vibes with this cool light pendant. The fixture is fitted with a handwoven rattan shade that feels earthy, organic, and ideal for any home space that's in need of a more natural touch. While the piece would work beautifully indoors, we think it'd be even better outside and on a patio space. The woven texture can match a variety of outdoor furniture sets, and since it's made of natural materials, it's also a product you can feel good about having in your home for years to come.
Best Ceiling Lighting Fixture
Joss & Main Dacia 1 Flush Mount ($53, originally $81)
We love the simplicity of this mounted light fixture from Joss & Main. The accent might not necessarily turn heads, but it'll get the job done, and best of all, won't cost you a fortune.
Best Colorful Lighting Fixture
Etsy Colorful Macaron Pendant Hanging Light Plug ($114, originally $189)
Add a colorful touch to your home with these Nordic design-inspired light fixtures from Etsy. The quirky pieces are available to shop in a wide variety of sizes, styles, and colors, so they're a great buy for shoppers that are looking to add their own personal flavor. We think these would be darling in a kid's bedroom or entryway.
