It is week 4 of the $100 Room Challenge, and we are shopping budget-friendly farmhouse light fixtures. I honestly didn’t know if I would have enough money leftover to buy a new light fixture for our entry nook, but with $40 to spare, I thought I’d go ahead and use it to update our very plain, very outdated fixture that is currently attached to the ceiling.
Our entry nook is coming along, but no more pictures until next week’s reveal. This week we are looking at budget-friendly light fixtures. I know many of us have older homes that come with the dreaded “boob light”. While our entry nook didn’t have one, ours was still very plain and boring. With $40 still left in my budget, I decided to shop for light fixtures that would work in this space, and much to my surprise, there are a ton to choose from.
Here is the current light fixture in our entry nook.
Told you… bor-ing! It is all white with a white globe against a white ceiling. Had I not had the budget for a new fixture, I probably would have spray painted the base in oil-rubbed bronze just to add a little contrast.
If you remember from week 1, I mentioned looking for a fixture similar to the one we had in our office.
The problem is, this one costs $100. Obviously not in my budget for this space… So, let’s see what we can find that actually fits within my budget.
Budget-Friendly Farmhouse Style Light Fixtures
Every image below is a light fixture that costs less than $40 and has a minimum four star rating, so if you are looking for one yourself, these might be super helpful… especially if working on a budget.
Light fixture updated 2/2/25 to ensure they still meet the $40 maximum. Please note, prices are subject to change.
I haven’t quite decided on which one I like best, but I’m thinking either this one…
…or this one. (Unfortunately this exact one is no longer available, but this fixture is very similar)
Thoughts?
The Budget… So Far.
No updates on the budget since last week, as I haven’t spent any additional money. Still sitting at $59.46.

Love it? Pin it!
You definitely have some great choices! Can’t wait for the reveal!
Ohhhhh they’re both great choices! I can’t wait to see your reveal.
Such great choices! I like the gold one, but the shape of the black is more my style. Can’t wait to see you finished space
I love your choice for fixture in hallway. Can’t wait to see next weeks reveal.
I love all the options you’ve shared. I need a new light in our hallway and I love that all the ones you included are so affordable!
I love the 1st one (black and white). This is the same one I am eyeing for my Laundry Room makeover. Can’t wait to see which you pick!
So many great choices! We have the oil rubbed bronze one you are considering in our hallway and it looks beautiful in person. It was super easy to install too. Either choice is going to look beautiful!
Great options! Look forward to seeing the reveal!
Go for the fixture closest to your office light. It looks really close and thrice is right.
Light fixtures on the cheap are such a great investment for a space! I love this one so much, the metal is a very nice statement for your space!
I need to update our hallway lighting. They aren’t “boob lights” but an eye sore. Thanks for sharing the budget friendly fixtures. You are doing great with the budget.
