It’s important to know where to shop for the perfect lights because not all lighting stores are created equal- Buying online may seem easier but if you’re not careful, buying lighting online can become much more of a hassle and more expensive than you thought it would be. You can end up with an option that wasn’t exactly what you had in mind or not what you ordered at all. Measurements are not read correctly, colors don’t match up, and accidents happen, all of which can lead to expensive returns and inconveniences. 

Buying from a physical store is more effective because you can see the options in real life, make sure the measurements, colors, and styles are exactly what you want. Search around for lighting stores near you that have a variety of options and reasonable prices. Your go-to store should also have knowledgeable salesroom consultants who can help you sift through the many different sizes, styles, and finishes to reach the perfect option for your home.
