What to look for in schoolhouse lighting

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 integrate task lighting with a coordinating vanity light over the mirror. Similarly, you can hang a schoolhouse ceiling light like a linear chandelier in your living room or entryway and frame your front door with sconces for accent lighting.
