Summer in Northeast Ohio is the peak home improvement season. Walk into any hardware store in Lakewood, Parma, or Mentor on a Saturday morning, and you’ll see half of Cleveland loading up on paint, drywall, and landscaping supplies.
Everyone is looking for ways to refresh their space while the weather is nice. But if your budget is tight this summer, you don't need to spend thousands on a full room remodel to make your home feel brand new.
In fact, those who frequent our Brook Park warehouse all know the ultimate budget design secret: If you want to completely change the look of a room in under an hour, change the lighting.
Right now at Northcoast Hotel Liquidation, we have an incredible influx of commercial-grade hotel wall lamps, vanity sconces, and lighting, with many styles starting at just $5 to $10. Here is how you can use these incredible finds to "flip" your space for less this summer.
1. Ditch the Generic Big-Box Style for Unique Character
If you shop at the major retail centers in Strongsville or Beachwood, you end up buying the exact same flush-mount ceiling lights and generic lamps as everyone else on your block.
Hotel lighting is different. Hospitality designers custom-commission pieces that are heavy-duty, highly stylized, and built to create a specific mood. In our current inventory, we have everything from sleek, modern brushed steel vanity lights to geometric cubic sconces and unique faux-wicker wall lamps. For less than the price of a summer cocktail downtown, you can score a statement piece that gives your room instant architectural interest.
2. The Ultimate Quick Fixes for Summer Remodels
Because our warehouse gets weekly shipments from major hotel renovations, we have high volumes of options for you. This makes summer the perfect time to tackle those nagging DIY projects:
The Bedroom Upgrade: Swap out cluttered nightstand lamps for matching hotel swing-arm wall lamps on either side of the bed to free up space and get that clean, luxury-suite aesthetic.
The Basement: Summer is the perfect time to finish or refresh a basement to escape the July heat. Adding a few strategically placed wall sconces can turn a dark basement into a cozy home theater or lounge.
Rental Property Polish: If you are an Airbnb host or landlord prepping a property near downtown Cleveland or the Cleveland Clinic before the late-summer move-in rush, updating outdated lighting is the fastest way to make your listing photos pop online.
3. Commercial-Grade Quality for Pocket Change
Why are these pieces priced at $5, $10, or $20? Simple: hotels buy these fixtures by the hundreds for entire building renovations. When we liquidate a property, our mission is to pass those massive bulk savings directly onto our Northeast Ohio community.
Don't let the low price tags fool you, this isn't flimsy plastic stuff. This is commercial-grade metal, glass, and heavy-duty hardware designed to stay beautiful through years of constant use.
