12 lighting fixtures that will update a room faster than you can say "dimmer switch"

We love this reproduction pharmacy lamp from Crate and Barrel. Toronto antique hunters will know the hard-to-find originals can fetch well over $1,000, but this bronze version is much more affordable at $149. The classic is also versatile—use one as a desk lamp or a pair on bedside tables.
