One of the most impactful—and often overlooked—ways to change up the look of a room? With lighting. Sure, you could paint the walls or buy a new rug. But swapping a drab, overlooked light fixture for a design-forward upgrade—or a downright statement piece—can tie a space together, add subtle sophistication, or create a new focal point. Whether you own or even rent, a simple lighting swap (with the help of an electrician where needed) can transform the feel of a whole room.
And it doesn’t have to cost a lot. For an achievable update, we like considered, well-designed fixtures that are also affordable and easy to install, like the offerings from Linea Lighting, based just outside of Chicago. Linea believes in high-quality fixtures at a fair price—plus, everything’s backed by a USA-based warranty and customer service. Need inspiration? Here’s a look at a handful of rooms upgraded with Linea fixtures.
Above: Linea’s Caserti Midcentury Modern Three-Light Hanging Chandelier in black ($99.99) draws attention to a dark kitchen island. It’s also available in brass. Above: Four Fiorentino Industrial Factory Pendant Lights ($39.99 each)—staggered and hung in a row—frame a petite breakfast table. Above: So do three Macaria Modern Hanging Pendant Lights ($42.99 each). Each has a clear glass shade and adjustable lengths and also works with sloped ceilings. The lights are part of Linea’s designer collection and are available in additional shapes and finishes. Above: Proof that lighting can help define a space: An industrial-style Sonoro Rectangular Chandelier ($249.99) echoes the shape of both table and rug, creating the feeling of a room within a room. Above: Linea’s Effimero Three-Light Cluster Pendant Light ($99.99) adds a delicate touch to the kitchen. It’s shown here in brushed nickel, but it’s also available in polished chrome and black. Above: Lighting swaps aren’t just for the kitchen. A pair of Effimero Wall Lights with Clear Cylinder Shades ($47.99 each) adds polish to an otherwise-unremarkable hallway. Above: The Effimero Two-Light Wall Sconce ($79.99), another fixture from the sleek Effimero collection, fits with any style bath. It’s also available in three- or four-light styles and a variety of finishes. Above: Another case of pendant pairing well with dining table: The Athenae Four-Light Exposed Ceiling Light ($129.99), shown here above a round table, can be hung as a semi-flush-mount or longer hanging pendant.
