We looked long and hard for the perfect black and gold light fixtures for our renovation. We wanted two or three oversized pendants above the island, a big chandelier over the dining room table, and a couple of sconces above the floating shelves in the kitchen and the piano room.

If you’ve never sourced lighting fixtures for your home, it’s hard. There are so many cool styles and colors out there; it’s hard to narrow down your options if you don’t have anything in mind. For us, we knew we only wanted black or gold, domes or drums over the island, arm swings for sconces, and a big chandelier. We also didn’t want to spend a ton of money. And lighting costs can add up fast. So I thought finding the perfect light would be easy, being we knew the style and price we needed to stick to. And I’m a big fan of mixing metals, so I wasn’t picky about the color of gold. To my surprise, we had to hunt and hunt and hunt. Since we spent months sourcing these styles of fixtures, I wanted to spare you all the pain and share our top finds of gold and black light fixtures for those of you that may be on the hunt too.

Pendant Lighting

As I said, for the island, we wanted a couple of oversized drums or domes. We had our eyes on #1, #2, and #3. We even bought them all, but we decided to go with #1 and return the rest in the end. To be honest, Jamie wasn’t a fan of any. He thought they were all way too big. But after our blogger reveal party, all the bloggers said they had to stay. And I’m a fan of oversized, so I was pumped! And hey, if we get sick of them in a couple of years, we can always easily swap them out.

Chandeliers

Since I got to chose the kitchen lighting, I let Jamie choose the dining room. At first, I wanted a couple of dome lights, but Jamie was persistent in putting up a chandelier.

We used this same light in a client’s home this past fall, so we knew we liked it. It’s simple and classic.

Chandeliers can be extremely pricey too. I had my eyes on #5, but in the end, Jamie won the vote!

We plan to build a big dining room table soon, and Jamie wanted the light to be spread across the table, not just be right smack dab in the middle.

Wall Sconces

Oh, I was so excited about these! This was an easy one to find. I wanted gold arm swings above the floating shelves and saw these on sale at Wayfair at the time for under $100.

For the piano room, I wanted to have black sconces to complement the black shiplap wall. I’ve had my eye on this style for a while, and again when I saw them online for under $50, I was sold and bought them immediately.

Ceiling Lighting

We didn’t end up doing any ceiling lighting, but we were contemplating doing some over the sink and in the entrance but decided not to.

Our current living room which is right off the kitchen has a large outdated fan with no light, and we’re going to swap that out with a ceiling light soon.

So I’ve had my eyes on some of these, and they are still some of my favorites.
