This sampling of our extensive Schoolhouse Lights Collection features both clear and opaque globes in a variety of colors and mounting styles.

With dozens of customization options to choose from — including both clear and the more traditional opaque globe — schoolhouse lighting can be crafted to perfectly complement many contemporary décor styles.
Room and Usage
Schoolhouse fixtures are adaptable to many interior locations and are often found in:
- Bathrooms as vanity lighting
- Kitchens as task lighting above islands
- Dining rooms and living spaces for ambience
- Laundry rooms for a vintage touch
Schoolhouse lighting also adds a classic look to restaurants, office spaces, and retail stores. Our hand-crafted schoolhouse shades can be customized with colorful fitters and canopies, or optional painted bands on the globe to add even more visual appeal.
