Lighting can be unbelievably expensive, but you don’t have to sacrifice style for an affordable light. Here are some of my favorite lights under $200. Several of these come in multiple colors or finishes. Double check the listing to see if they have what you need. I also want to note that a few of these are on sale making them under $200. My suggestion, especially on Etsy, is to always heart an item you love, and then frequent back for sale pricing. Let’s get into it…

I love using Fabric light pendant’s or sconces for the best ambiance.

I have these Plug in or hard wired sconces and I can speak for the quality. They are currently $55 per sconce.

Zara home has really cool and timeless lighting lately. I love this all white iron wall sconce
