Schoolhouse Lights

What to Look for in a Schoolhouse Light

Schoolhouse light fixtures brighten up living spaces in a retro style. Some common features of schoolhouse lighting include:

• Round shades: Simple yet sophisticated, curved shades made of clear glass often cover the bulbs of schoolhouse pendant light fixtures and vanity lights.
• Symmetry: Schoolhouse ceiling lights like chandeliers and cluster lights usually boast even numbers of lights and are symmetrical.
• Antique character: Black, brushed nickel, and aged bronze finishes lend an antiqued look to schoolhouse light fixtures, which look great finished with vintage-style Edison bulbs.

Carry a Schoolhouse Lighting Theme Throughout Your Home

To fully illuminate your space, incorporate multiple types of schoolhouse fixtures with similar features into your lighting design. Provide overhead illumination in a compact bathroom with a schoolhouse flush mount light and then provide task lighting with a coordinating vanity light over the mirror. Similarly, you can hang a schoolhouse ceiling light like a linear chandelier in your entryway and frame your front door with sconces for accent lighting.
