Chandeliers are by no means cheap, but if you’re a fan of a more rustic aesthetic, YouTuber Darbin Orvar put together one using a set of string lights and some wood.
The idea here is to basically build a box for the lights, string them through the wood, then mount it to the ceiling. As for power, you can either connect to a power source in the ceiling, or add an extension cord to connect to a wall outlet. Sure, it’s not exactly an elegant, crystal chandelier designed for castles and fancy houses, but it’s still a clever way to light up a room with about $40 of material.
