The Best Online Stores for Chic, Unique, and Affordable Lighting

When crafting the vibe of a room, never underestimate the power of good lighting. A great fixture and thoughtful bulb placement can make or break the feel of a space. And yet, lighting can easily become an afterthought—a homogenous collection of vaguely trendy-looking fixtures that blend instead of pop. It doesn’t help that it can be staggeringly (and unnecessarily) expensive to swap out one setup for another. So, for the sake of great vibes everywhere, I scoured the internet to find the 13 best online stores for lighting fixtures.

No matter your style, your lighting should be a statement piece. Scroll on for the coolest emerging brands, direct-to-consumer disruptors, and e-commerce lighting stalwarts to know in 2022.

13 Best Online Stores for Lighting in 2022

Cedar & Moss

Michelle Aaro’s Mid-Century, minimalist designs are handmade to order out of Cedar & Moss’ Oregon studio. The small company’s unique works have graced home features in Domino and AD, but the brand’s prices stay fantastically fair.

A Cedar & Moss signature.




Cedar & Moss Concord

A handcrafted ceramic reflector adds rich texture.




Gantri

Using 3D-printing technology, the San Francisco-based lighting brand collaborates with artists and creatives to craft unique, modern lighting (using plant-based materials) at accessible price points.

The warm light with a built-in dimmable, switch-on cord.




Gantri Baltra Table Light

A unique, dimmable table lamp designed by Kickie Chudikova.




Hay

Here’s a lighting-as-art endorsement for you: the Danish-inspired brand is carried at the MoMA Design Store.

Hand-wrapping colored wool makes this truly one-of-a-kind piece pop.

Lamppo

A newer name in the online lighting store scene, Lamppo initially launched on Etsy in 2018, but quickly established its own digital storefront in 2020. Known for modern rattan and bamboo pendants, the brand sells lighting for both home and hospitality projects, all while keeping costs as low as possible.

Boho, but make it modern.

Retro and rattan—a match made in heaven.




Lulu and Georgia

Anyone with a Pinterest or Instagram account is likely well aware of Lulu and Georgia’s eye-catching aesthetic by now, but Sara Sugarman’s Los Angeles-based online retailer and its knack for curating great design (often made in the U.S.)—and making it accessible—always deserve recognition.  

Lulu and Georgia Chavette Chandelier

The Lulu and Georgia signature you’ve double-tapped on Instagram a thousand times.




Lulu & Georgia Coulwood Table Lamp

Most think “boho” when they hear Lulu and Georgia, but the versatile brand curates for all kinds of home décor styles, including industrial-chic.

An aged brass finish for the ages.




Mitzi Dolores 1 Light Wall Sconce

Rejuvenation

The American lighting and hardware stalwart, which has manufactured the majority of its pieces in Portland, Oregon since the brand launched in the 1970s (the company was acquired by Williams Sonoma in 2011), creates timeless pieces that last.

Schoolhouse

Another Oregon-based company, Schoolhouse keeps all operations—from assembly and shipping to product development and a cute little coffee shop—under one roof (in a century-plus brick factory in Portland, to be exact). That sense of care and community is felt throughout their timeless, heirloom-inspired designs.

Schoolhouse Sidnie Lamp

This hand-spun steel shade sparks joy—guaranteed.




Schoolhouse Isaac 5 Chandelier

A sleek, sculptural chandelier inspired by Scandinavian design.




Shades of Light

A conversation-starting glow.

Bring the California landscape straight to your tabletop.

Nobody does effortless cool (at equally chill prices) better than Urban Outfitters, especially when it comes to their home goods. No list of the best online lighting stores is complete without it.
