Design Find: Natural & Textured Lighting
I am currently in the process of decorating my house—you can see some inspiration for it here—and my goal, as with everything, is to be as eco-friendly as possible. So when it comes to seeking out furniture and beautiful objects that align with this vision, my eyes light up because it means antiques and other thrifty gems are on the table. Just like fashion, interior trends come and go, and what you wouldn’t have touched in the early 2000s, I’m looking at your 80s influence, is all you can think about today. I endlessly peruse websites like Facebook Marketplace, Auction Ninja, and local thrift shops where you can find things for a bargain that you also find in stores today. Right now I am gravitating towards anything natural like wicker, cone-shaped lamp shades, or baskets that could easily be turned into lights. Here are some current finds, but I encourage you to do the same, even if something looks a little dated, consider using the lampshade or the base and adding a lick of paint or some trim to make it look as good as new.
