A reader had asked me a seemingly simple question about how to choose lighting fixtures that work well from room to room, and I was inspired to create this entire lighting series to answer. Today, ten posts later, we reach the end and finally pull it all together to answer the original question! You’ll find links to each collection of lights at the bottom of this post, and I’ve also linked to each light individually on Pinterest. Below are my suggestions for combinations that work well together.

I loved the lighting series, very helpful! I was wondering if you had suggestions for bathroom lighting?!?!

Love this post. I’m currently trying to figure out lighting options in my condo…it’s tiny so I don’t have a lot of space for floor lights or table top lamps. There’s no overhead lighting in the living area and I’m thinking of swing arm wall lights on either side of my bed since the alcove is really tiny. Really. :) Lots of pretty inspiration!

Nicole, thank you for all your hard work with this roundup. I feel like you have put together what normally would have taken an entire editorial team at Domino to figure out!
So, so helpful!

AWESOME! Thank you for sharing! (I know how much work it took to compile all of those, so double thanks!) I can’t tell you how helpful this is, I really like the vintage industrial group, particularly the light blue pendant one. So useful!
