It wasn’t until I started looking at lighting options that I started to realize how economical they are. If you take into consideration how much time you spend in your own home, I’m kind of lamenting the fact that I settled for “builder grade” fixtures for so long.

Lighting makes such a huge statement in a home and, as this list will show, it isn’t that expensive to upgrade your fixtures. Start with one room and slowly expand to the others. Heck, even adding a light a month will get you 12 amazing fixtures over the course of a year!
