If you’re like me, you know one thing: lighting is the soul of the room. Nowadays, a decor of modern chic but simple lighting is such a must-have! Be it a full home renovation or just that one dramatic statement piece, the right fixture will definitely turn your home into a cozy but modern masterpiece.
For months now, I’ve been researching the most respected and top-rated lighting shops Dublin has. If you were on the lookout for something like that too, where quality, expertise, and style shine the brightest…happy to be your chaperone for the day! And let me tell you, I’m not just gonna bore you with simple bulb shops. I’m talking about specialist showrooms, design consultation hubs, and places where you can find truly unique, bespoke fixtures.
I took it upon myself to select for you my top five favorite places to buy lighting, based on expert rep, and the thought of where I’d like to visit for my own best choices. So grab those floor plans and put on your metaphorical interior designer hat as we light up where you need to go this week!
Hicken Lighting at Usher’s Quay
Right off the bat is this master of classic decor with a personal flair, where you and I have to make our first stop. This shop is absolutely your destination for true heritage and craftsmanship. You’ll find this gem at 109 Francis Street, Dublin 8. Hicken Lighting is your go-to for an enormous array of decorative lighting.
I mean this where any vintage lover would love to start, as they have it all…from the beautiful vintage to, most notably, genuinely bespoke pieces. It has a beautiful artistic showroom and very personal service.
And quite honestly, this is where I know serious interior designers head when looking for something truly special and unique for a client. If you wish to discuss a project with them, their number is +35316777882. My top recommendation? Ditch all those mass-produced pieces you see everywhere and make it a point to inquire about custom-made ones.
The custom-made Statement Chandeliers and Custom Pendant Lights are their specialty. Imagine one of those perfect, unique masterpieces over your living room seating area or above a formal dining table. That’s the ultimate in adding a sophisticated focal point!

Enlighten at Walkinstown
If your current home project or business space happens to lean towards modern efficiency and architectural design, then you absolutely need to another Walkinstown hidden gem. The shop is called Enlighten, and they are the specialists you need.
For those of us who speak the language of lumens and clean design. You can find them at the Mulcahy Keane Estate, Greenhills Road, Walkinstown, Dublin.

They understand how to light a space without cluttering the design.
Cusack Lighting at Crystal Business Park
What if, like me, you sometimes prefer to shop the best designer labels from the absolute comfort of your couch? If that’s you, well, welcome to your digital destination called Cusack Lighting. Cusack Lighting has earned quite the fame as the premier online source for high-end designer pieces.
They feature beautiful designer lighting, complementary furniture, and they very often run great seasonal promotions. Because they are more famous for being an online-based store right here in Dublin, they make upgrading your space both easy and cost-effective. But if you prefer to shop in-store more, pay them a visit at Unit 2A, Crystal Business Park, Dublin Rd, Pollamore Near, Cavan, H12 V9K4.
Their best practical perk is definitely free shipping on orders over €100-it makes splurging on that perfect piece feel totally justified! My top recommendation? I would recommend diving straight into their designer pendant lights and statement floor lamps.

Oh, and here’s the contact in case you wanna reach them via call +353494380707.
Euro Sales at Blackthorn
Sometimes you just need a no-nonsense, practical fixture for the kitchen (since there’s no shortage of non-practical at all advertising when it comes to the kitchen). Or, perhaps a replacement bulb for a lamp, and you need it now. For those moments, head directly to Euro Sales at 1G, Block 2, Sandyford Industrial Estate, Three Rock Rd, Blackthorn, Dublin 18.
Euro Sales is your local source for all your practical electrical needs. They have general electrical goods, batteries, common bulbs, and utility fixtures. I’ve been informed that the staff here is highly regarded both for their knowledge and outstanding customer service, which makes this an excellent shop if you want a quick, well-informed purchase.

My Top Recommendation: For practical fixtures and bulbs for everyday use, this store stands out for utility spaces, kitchens, and small businesses by providing the foundational lighting that your home really relies on.
My Take on Bright Lighting It All!
Whether you are completely gutting a kitchen, building a new office, or just looking for that one perfect designer floor lamp, you’ll find the perfect specialist lighting shop Dublin has in this list of mine.
I love these spots, as choosing lighting in person is just so important. You need to be able to see the actual warmth of the bulb and touch the quality of the finish before committing! My last piece of advice is to definitely call ahead to book a consultation with them if you are planning on getting bigger services or purchases.
Especially for shops like Hicken Lighting or Enlighten, so you can get that one-on-one time with their consultants. Whichever store you choose, be assured of a memorable, fantastic, and thoroughly personal lighting experience.
