Upgrade a room’s ambiance by swapping an old ceiling light for a modern fixture.
Turn off power at the breaker for safety. Remove the old fixture, disconnecting wires carefully. Match the new fixture’s mounting bracket to the electrical box and connect wires, securing with wire nuts. Attach the fixture, ensuring it’s level, and install bulbs. Restore power and test.
This half day project costs $50-$150, depending on the fixture. The result is a refreshed space with improved lighting, whether you choose a chandelier or sleek pendant. With basic electrical knowledge, you’ll create a focal point that enhances your room’s style and functionality. This could be a budget friendly activity and also beginner friendly, as it requires little expertise and could be completed within a short period.
