Habitat for Humanity has stores that sell used building materials, you can often find new and used lighting at very good prices. Also if you have a Menards near you, they often have nice affordable lighting. They are similar to Home Depot and Lowe's but better IMO. Things are usually more pricey from a showroom.
Lastly, consider a ceiling fan :)
I'll add, I don't care for chandeliers in most settings myself, nor do I like ceiling fans with attached lights. It's an entirely different style, but I think track and/or recessed lighting can add a more modern touch of class, compared to the basic fixtures many homes have installed. And I also find it is much more effective lighting than indirect fixtures when used properly. Just my opinion.
