The right she shed light fixture will turn your she shed (or spare room) into a stylish space. We found some great pendants, tracks, and string lights to spark your interest.
She shed lighting is important for many reasons. Your lighting will likely rely on one or two fixtures, so each one counts heavily. The light fixtures are often the first item seen when someone scans a room, so make your choices carefully to get the most light and loveliness possible. Keep reading; we’ve gathered a few suggestions for you.
Prism Pendant Lamp
They’re made of eco-friendly plastic, but the range of pendant lamps from this company pack a lot of style into their fixtures for a low price point. Get a couple of these for those dark corners. The Prism features a slightly curved silhouette and wavy lines for a modern touch. From Uncommon Lamps: $52.50
Clear Glass Pendant with Cord
Classic wide-cone shade crafted in clear glass makes the Apartment plug-in pendant look perfectly at-home in the she shed. Put one in the center and one over your desk. From Schoolhouse. $258.
Art Deco Pendants
These two lights are actually in one of our sheds in Pasadena. You can find Art Deco pendants on eBay and sometimes at your favorite vintage lighting shop or flea market. Similar shades can be found here.
French-Style “Lucille” Chandelier
True Parisian elegance is captured in this 3-light crystal chandelier. It is hardwired, so not as easy to install; but for those who’ve decided to fully wire up their shed this chandelier will really class up the place. From Ballard Designs. $824.25
Ruffled Rattan Pendant
Every day’s a picnic under this charming Kai scalloped rattan pendant. Available both for hard wire or plug-in. Note all of the other pretty rattan fixtures this brand offers. From Eclanat Studio. $158
Romantic Globe Pendant
One of the prettiest she shed lights we’ve seen in awhile, this exquisite little globe measures 6.5″ tall. A bit of Victorian detail in the embossed design fits the romantic look you want. From LampGoods. $105
Capiz Shell String Lights
String lights encased in delicate capiz shell ball globes are a step up from your average string of bulbs. Chic and alluring, these natural Filipino “parols” (lanterns) are a perfect accessory for the coastal or Bohemian look. Each string is about 10′ long. From ParolsofAmerica. $185
Farmhouse Gooseneck Porch Lights
Face it – nothing says “she shed” like a little industrial/farmhouse detail. This California-made Traditional Farmhouse Sconce hits all the right notes. It is handmade of heavy-duty steel; the 12″ shade has a handsome copper-colored inlay. Put one on each side of your door. From Steel Lighting Company. $219
Fluorescent Architectural Lighting
This is NOT your average shop light. We searched for something that had style and color, while delivering on a bright and energy-efficient output. Wait until you see all the great colors it comes in (our pick is Mint). From Barn Light Electric Company. $462
