Lighting is a very vital element in a well designed space, but there is no need to spend your life savings to complete the look. Below I have provided pictures of several lighting options ranging from $5 to $39 (the one exception being the intro image which came in at $49 at Lowe's) from a couple of key retailers (IKEA and Lowe's-or I would have been at this all day) that carry affordable lighting options. Given the eclectic nature of Farmhouse Style, I have chosen a few of those lighting options that embrace the era of farmhouse living in all it's glory. The looks range from Industrial or Utilitarian to Shabby Chic and all work well with Country Living Decor. Notice I have chosen mainly wall, pendant, and ceiling lighting...this was done on purpose, since other than the occasional table lamp or task lighting, wall and ceiling lighting would have been the norm. I would also note that antique or rubbed bronze and brushed steel or brass would have been the typical finishes for lighting during this period. Anything that has any of those finishes will most likely fit in well even if it isn't perfectly matching, since lighting would have been inherited from earlier generations (though most likely lantern and candle lit) and would have been likely mismatched throughout the house.
Images ordered: Floor lamps, table lamps, wall mounted, flush ceiling mounted, pendants, and chandeliers.
