Coastal style lamps that shine
DESIGN FEATURE
A good lamp can help define the style of a room. Tailored Space Interiors Property Stylist Carielle Campbell explains what makes a perfect coastal-style lamp.
The coastal style is soft, breezy and relaxing, and certainly a great style to choose for your home.
As a fairly well known and loved look there are many pieces to choose from when it comes to bringing this style into your home, and it can be fairly easy to do. However, choosing some pieces, such as lamps, can at times be a little tricky.
So, what should you look for? Start with a colour palette; typically the coastal style stays within the lighter tones and palettes. However, don’t be afraid to bring in a slightly moodier edge if that’s your thing. A detailed charcoal lamp, with a linen shade can still fit in with the coastal style as well. So too, a pop of colour, namely the blue tones also work really well. Or you could choose a more Hamptons style with some floral or geometric detailing.
However, if colour isn’t your thing then choose something in the lighter tones. Lamps in white, beige and sandy tones fit the coastal theme perfectly.
Texture is also important. Having texture in the shade or within the lamp base, adds a touch of interest and warmth. Depending on your particular coastal style preference the texture can be quite subtle or dramatic. For something subtle look for a lamp that has texture within the shape of the base, or the particular fabric of the shade. If you’re wanting more of a statement, the use of rope detail on a base lends itself nicely to a coastal nautical theme.
Whatever your choice, a lamp not only adds light and soft ambience to a room, but it can also be a beautiful piece of décor within your home.
