LIGHT UP MY LIFE // CHANDELIERS UNDER $500

Lighting can truly enhance a space – event the smallest of ones! Warren and I recently have been on a kick to replace all our ugly lighting in our apartment. Honestly, why is it that rentals (at least in SF), have the worst of the worst lighting choices? It’s like they pick out the ugliest options on purpose – LOL! The first piece of lighting we replaced was in our dining room aka “nook” that I like to call it. We were both pleasantly surprised by how much it elevated and transformed the space! We just recently updated the light in our bedroom as well and it casts the prettiest shadows in our bedroom creating a cozy and relaxing vibe. Next on our list: the hallway and kitchen lights.

Since we are living in a rental, we didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg updating lighting as this is not a permanent home for us. Luckily, there are so many affordable chandelier and pendant lighting options out there, so it doesn’t need to cost an arm and leg to make your space feel and look better. I’ve rounded up my favorite lights under $500 that would instantly light up your life and give you all the heart eyes.
