The Best Craftsman and Arts & Crafts Lighting Makers
By Joshua Scheide | November 1, 2025 | Updated August 24, 2026
You stand in your bungalow, admiring the oak trim and built-ins that someone, a century ago, made by hand. Then your eyes lift to the ceiling and there it is...that light that just doesn’t belong.
If that moment makes your heart sink a little, you’re not alone. For homeowners who care about preserving architectural integrity, lighting isn’t just decor. It’s part of your home’s soul.
Finding high-quality Craftsman lighting for your bungalow isn't always simple. Your local big-box store doesn't cut it, and searching online brings up a myriad of manufacturers, some with period-accurate options, some just using ‘Craftsman style’ as marketing.
We make Craftsman lighting ourselves, and yes, we have a vested interest and are on this list. But we also know we can’t always check every box on every bungalow owner’s list, and we want your home to have what it needs.
Here's the complete picture of who makes Craftsman lighting we think you can be proud to put on your home.
Questions to ask yourself when choosing your Craftsman lighting
Timeline: What kind of lead time does your project allow?
Design: How accurate do you want it to be? In the ballpark? Museum-quality reproduction? Somewhere in the middle?
Budget: What's your per-fixture budget? $250-500? $500-1,500? $2,000+?
Personalization: Are you comfortable with standardized off-the-shelf options or do you prefer something made for your space?
Materials: Are lasting, durable materials non-negotiable or are you comfortable with replacing them more frequently?
