7 Colorful Light Fixtures We Can't Get Enough Of
Schoolhouse launched 32 new colors—here are a few of our favorites.
When it comes to choosing lighting fixtures for your home, the color options are usually a bit limited. You're typically given the opportunity to choose between different neutral metal shades with a matte or glossy finish—industrial chrome, matte black, a shimmery bronze—but sometimes you want something a little more vibrant to zhuzh up your space.
Luckily, Schoolhouse—our Portland-based sister brand known for its fun, colorful design accents, furniture, hardware, and lighting—just dropped some of our favorite lights, sconces, lamps, and pendants in 32 new-to-Schoolhouse hues. There are vibrant pinks, oranges and reds, mellow greens, blues and yellows, and even an array of not-boring neutrals like a deep-brown butterscotch, creamy shell white, and a glossy ecru.
If you've been looking for ways to add pops of color to your space, it's your lucky day. Keep scrolling for seven of our favorites from Schoolhouse's latest batch of new arrivals.
1. Allegheny Plug-In Sconce

2. Luna Rod Pendant with 10" Shade - Brights - Vaulted
This vaulted pendant light—which is part of Schoolhouse's Luna Collection and features a delicate, sculptural quality—breaks out of the mold of standard metallic or white lighting overhead light fixtures with four vibrant alternatives: Azalea (a hot pink), Industrial Yellow (school bus yellow), Juniper (a bright green), and Persimmon (orange).

4. Sidnie Lamp
This mushroom-shaped lamp will inspire compliments regardless of where its placed. As the Schoolhouse team puts it: “The era-defying appeal of the Sidnie Lamp flows out of its charismatic personality and exceptional usability.

5. Isaac Floor Lamp
Most rooms could benefit from having a floor lamp, and this mid-century-inspired one shouldn't be forgotten.

Plus, this lamp comes in 20 different shades, so you can find the one perfect for your space.
6. Cylinder Double Sconce
With a slender profile and multiple options for orientation, this thoughtfully designed wall sconce is perfect for illuminating pockets of your home that don't need a standing lamp or vaulted hanging pendant. And, similar to the other lighting pieces we've been fawning over, this sconce is available in many different colors (20, to be exact).
7. Joe Task Lamp
Function meets form in the Joe Task Lamp, inspired by 1970s-era utilitarian designs. It features an adjustable swivel and articulated shade, adding charm to any room it lights up. It's available in 23 different hues, too, giving you plenty of options to choose from.
