As a lighting-focused company, we’ve spent years helping homeowners find the right lighting, and one thing we’ve noticed? Farmhouse light fixtures are still going strong in 2025. And it makes sense — they’re versatile enough to work in almost any room while adding that cozy, lived-in feel we all love. We’ve put together some of our favorite farmhouse lighting picks that our customers keep coming back to.
Wall-Mounted Favorites
The classic barn light is one of our most popular sellers, and it is not rare to see two of them flanking our customers’ front door. These fixtures come in matte black or galvanized steel, and they’re built to last. What I really like about them is how they cast light downward, which is perfect for highlighting architectural details or creating a warm glow on your porch. You can’t or won’t go wrong with our Westchester or Gardena lights for your porch lighting.
For indoor spaces, we’ve seen lots of customers gravitating toward wall sconces. These are super practical in bedrooms since you can use them for reading, and they free up space on your nightstand. My go-to recommendation is our farmhouse sconce, the Hawthorne — it has that vintage industrial look that works really well with the farmhouse style design and decor.
Ceiling-Mounted Designs That Work
In the kitchen, pendant lights are workhorses. One of Our current bestsellers is the Carson rustic barn pendant — it gives off enough light to work under while still looking beautiful. I especially like how the mounts are interchangeable to suit a particular aesthetic or function.
And if you’d give anything for that authentic farmhouse feel, I would recommend one with a galvanized finish. Pro tip: hang them in multiples (two or three over an island or work table looks particularly good).
For larger spaces like dining rooms or entryways, we’re seeing a lot of interest in single pendants and semi-flush mounts.
Our farmhouse light Pendants combine the timelessness of barn lighting and farmhouse aesthetics. Little wonder, they’ve become a quick bestseller. They are substantial enough to anchor a room without overwhelming the space.
The Right Light for Every Room
One thing I’ve learned from working with different homes is that each room has its own lighting needs. A bright, clear light that’s perfect for a kitchen might feel harsh in a living room. Here’s a room-by-room breakdown of what tends to work best:
Living Rooms: This is where layered lighting really shines. We often recommend combining a fuss-free ceiling fixture with wall sconces for flexibility. Our farmhouse light fixtures with an 8” dome can add extra light for reading corners.
Dining Rooms: A single dramatic piece usually works best here. Our wooden beam chandeliers have been incredibly popular – they make a statement without feeling too formal.
Home Offices: Good task lighting is key and wall-mounted lights are your best friends here ; they let you direct light exactly where you need it, and they free up desk space too.
Mixing Old and New
One trend I’m excited about is how farmhouse lighting is evolving. While traditional black and white finishes are still popular, we’re seeing more customers experiment with mixed metals. A brass interior paired with a black exterior adds warmth without straying too far from the classic farmhouse style.
The New Take on Traditional
What’s interesting about the farmhouse style in 2025 is how it’s adapted to modern needs. We’re seeing more integrated LED options that maintain that classic look while offering energy efficiency. Some of our newest fixtures even include smart features like dimming capabilities — without sacrificing that traditional farmhouse aesthetic.
Installation Tips from Experience
After helping countless customers with their lighting projects, here’s what I’ve learned: measure twice, buy once. For ceiling fixtures, always check your room height – you want at least 7 feet of clearance below the fixture. For wall sconces, we typically recommend mounting them around 66 inches from the floor, but this can vary based on your ceiling height and personal preference.
Practical Considerations
Let’s talk about what really matters when you’re shopping for farmhouse fixtures:
First, think about the finish. While painted finishes look great, they can chip over time, especially in outdoor locations. That’s why we offer galvanized options for exterior fixtures – they actually look better as they age.
Size matters, too. I often see people choose fixtures that are too small for their space. A good rule of thumb: add your room’s length and width in feet, and that number in inches is a good starting point for your fixture’s diameter.
Bulb Selection Tips
Something often overlooked is bulb choice. For farmhouse light fixtures, we highly recommend LED bulbs. They give you that warm, classic look while being energy efficient. The color temperature matters too – stick to warm white (2700-3000K) for that cozy farmhouse feel.
Where to Use What
In my experience, certain fixtures work better in specific spaces. Here’s what I typically suggest to our customers:
- Kitchens: Pendant lights or flush mounts in matte black finishes
- Bathrooms: Wall sconces on either side of the mirror
- Entryways: Large-sized pendants (starting from 16”)
- Porches: Heavy-duty wall-mounted barn lights
Care and Maintenance
One question we get a lot is about keeping farmhouse fixtures looking their best. The good news is they’re pretty low-maintenance. For metal finishes, a quick wipe with a dry cloth usually does the trick. More delicate shades can go in the dishwasher (top rack), though some people just hand wash theirs.
Looking Ahead
While the farmhouse style has been popular for years, it keeps evolving in interesting ways. We’re seeing more minimalist interpretations and some cool industrial crossover designs. What hasn’t changed is the focus on quality materials and timeless design — things that never really go out of style. So, dear reader, if you are updating your porch lights or redoing your whole kitchen, consider investing in farmhouse light fixtures. I trust we’ve convinced you beyond reasonable doubt why you should do this. If you need more specific advice about any of our fixtures, just reach out to our team.
