5 Ideas for How to Style Lamps in Your Home’s Interior Design

5 Ideas for How to Style Lamps in Your Home’s Interior Design

Great design consists of layered illumination. As you begin your next seasonal home refresh, aim to incorporate a mix of lighting sources. Lamps not only serve as statement pieces, but they also provide dimension and can set the mood of a room entirely! Read on for a look at a few lamps we’ve styled in recent interior design projects.

 

Desk Lamps Can Be Stylish and Functional

The first lamp we always recommend sourcing is a desk lamp. In the corner of our Fairway project’s primary bedroom, we added a small desk area for our client to get work done from home. We styled a beautifully arched desk lamp to not only tie in the other brass elements found throughout the room but also provide a light source to ensure productivity.

 

Brighten Your Bedside with a Stylish Nightstand Lamp

Sometimes lamps can be artwork themselves! In our Scottsdale interior design project, The Estates, we styled a modern, ceramic lamp on top of the two nightstands flanking the upholstered bed. Balancing both beautiful and practical, nightstand lamps are a great source of light on dimmer days. In bedroom areas, aim to find a lamp with shades that can help contain the light to avoid disturbing any nearby nappers.

 

Make a Statement with a Floor Lamp

Floor lamps can serve as beautiful statement pieces in any interior. We love that this brass floor lamp from our Marshall Ave interior design project is adjustable and can be molded to fit into nearly any space. This versatility will allow the piece to live in our client’s home for years to come. One of the top tips we share with clients is to not be afraid of investing in quality pieces like this that they love!

 

Beautiful Entryway Lamp

Have you ever laid eyes on a more beautifully intricate lamp? We can’t get over how the color of this lamp from our Cave Creek interior design project, Calle De Pompas, complements the adjacent artwork and accent wall. It’s the perfect touch to make guests feel right at home as soon as they enter.

 

Don’t Forget about Hallway Lamps

Last but not least, lamps always sit pretty on cabinets or console tables. Inside this cutout in our 83rd Place project, we opted to maximize space by styling a ceramic table lamp, artwork, and various accessories. We kept all of these details neutral to avoid overwhelming the space, and we love the subtle yet striking effect it had on the overall setup!

We heard you loud and clear, and are so excited to unveil the remainder of our Estates Project! Keep reading for a look at how we modernized this home and made it approachable and inviting with a full renovation.

 

The Mid-Century Modern Bedroom, with Custom Bed

Starting in the primary bedroom, we anchored the space with a custom, teal bed. Would you believe us if we told you that the wallpaper behind this show-stopping piece was designed in the 1960s? Still a popular pattern to this day, we love the mid-century modern feel it added to the space!

 

To keep the room feeling light and airy, we hung neutral, floor-to-ceiling custom drapery. This length is ideal to elongate the look of any interior!

To really allow the bed to shine, we kept the surrounding details neutral. Adjacent to the bed, we styled wood nightstands with a sleek silhouette and gorgeous cutout handles.

 

On top of each nightstand, we added a black lamp that’s practically artwork itself! We love how its round details look styled in front of the wallpaper pattern.

 

Get ready to grab a glass of wine and nestle in! To elevate the look of this cozy corner, we tiled the fireplace and drywalled over two adjacent windows to prevent distraction and really let the fireplace do all the talking. Finishing off the space, we added a rug, chaise, and side table to encourage rest and relaxation.

An Elegant and Inviting Dining Room for the Family

Moving into the family dining room, our goal was to create an elegant and inviting space that would fit the whole family. Surrounding the round table are six chairs with beautiful wooden, leather, and brass detailing. We carried the brass element upward and hung a two-tier, antique brass chandelier.

 

Lastly, to maximize wallspace behind the table, we hung two cement art pieces with curves in all the right places. We love the subtle interest and intrigue it added to the interior!

Combining Beauty and Function in the Family Room

If you’ve been keeping up with us for a while, you know that combining beauty and function is our specialty. Because of this, we aimed to keep the family room comfortable yet stylish.

To do so, we added a custom sectional, a large coffee table, and beautiful marble and brass side tables to allow the family a spacious area to gather and connect.

The other side of the family room came with a cozy fireplace that we wanted to center the remainder of our designs around. To fill the wall space on one side of the fireplace, we added a custom cabinet to store our clients’ essentials. On the other side, we added a plant and a gallery wall with similar height to artwork on the opposite wall.

Does this angle of the family room make anyone else’s jaw drop? As mentioned in part one of the Estates Project reveal, we wanted to capitalize on the high ceilings found throughout this home, so we opted to paint it black. We love how the brass chandelier and lighting pops off the ceiling!

For consistency, we added black frames to the sliding doors leading to the backyard. We also anchored these doors with custom drapery for an extra cozy feel.

The Best Detail for Last – Custom Built-Ins!

We may have saved our favorite detail for last! In the same family room, we added a custom built-in that goes all the way up to the ceiling. We filled the built-in with custom size shelving, so we could add various accessories and make it a beautiful piece of art as a whole.

 

To fill in the space in front of the shelves, we created an additional mini seating area by styling two chairs and a table.

Talk about texture! We pride ourselves on being able to provide the perfect blend of colors, textures, and styles that make a relaxed, eclectic design look chic and polished.

In our Fairway Project, we styled a beautifully upholstered bench at the foot of our custom bed. The bench’s textured upholstery evoked a high-end feel, and the leather buckle straps and iron legs added a distinctive and masculine touch to the space.

We care about having livable spaces that are full of beauty, character, and function. Benches are great to style in areas where you’ll need quick access to essential items. In this home gym, our clients can enjoy keeping their water, hand towel, and other equipment within easy reach during their workouts. Plus, we love how the cane on this bench elevates the space!

Leather Bench

We love the elevated comfort leather details add to our interior design projects. This bench’s blind-tufted, leather cushion sits inside an antique brass base, adding just the right amount of elegance and charm to our client’s entryway. It’s muted tones allow the adjacent artwork to shine!

Classic Wood Bench

If you’re in need of additional seating in your living area, but don’t have the space for large accent chairs, consider adding a wooden bench like this one! Simple in design and fusing function and fashion, this piece would sit pretty in any home without overwhelming the surrounding design.

If you’re in the interior design industry, you know there’s nothing better than wrapping up a project and seeing your full vision come to life (especially nowadays….thanks to recent supply chain issues!). These upcoming months, our team is booked and busy with finishing touches, and today kicks off the first of many new project reveals coming your way. Allow us to introduce you to our Estates Project!

 

A Warm Welcome + Modern Entryway

When designing an entryway, we love creating a space that instantly draws guests in and conveys a warm welcome. In this project, we really wanted to draw the attention upward to the home’s unique angled ceiling with wooden details, so we opted to paint it black.

 

Contrasting the black ceiling is this modern marble and brass console table with curves in all the right places. To reflect and bring more light into the space, we hung a beautiful octagon-shaped mirror. The way the glass is cut makes it look like it’s made of gemstones, further luring guests in!

 

Serving as the backdrop to these one-of-a-kind pieces, we added a stunning wallpaper with a washi cement finish for a touch of texture.

You know we love introducing statement pieces in an approachable way. To top off the entryway, we hung a hand-crafted, four-tiered chandelier with a personality of its own. Each symmetrical layer features individual plates of gold leaves, adding just the right amount of glam to this interior.

 

A Glam + Sophisticated Office

We believe in using our creativity and intuition, but also in listening to our clients and getting to know them deeply in order to create designs that are customized and personalized just for them. As the legal counsel for a major beauty brand, our client needed a space that she could come into and kick butt, while feeling inspired. This office does exactly that!

 

To complement the black cieling we carried throughout the home, we added black marble tile on the floor. Centering the space, we styled a beautifully carved desk with a spacious table top and a custom chair in one of her favorite colors – green!

Just behind the desk we added a grass cloth wallpaper accent wall and two shelving units with natural hand-woven cane paneling for added texture. And lastly, because no space is complete without touch of glamour, we hung a statement chandelier that really brought a “wow” factor into the space.

The office’s sitting area features a little bit of drama, a little bit of edge, and a lot of livability. To complement the bolder elements in this space, we styled a monochromatic, mid-century modern leather chair with a seductive silhouette. Adjacent to the chair is a brass side table for added functionality. Wouldn’t you want to have a seat and stay a while?

 

An Open + Inviting Formal Living Room

Just outside our client’s office is the formal living room. To keep the space feeling open, while still allowing for separation, we added glass doors for just the right amount of privacy. The door’s black frames beautifully complement the black accents found on the ceiling and nearby bookshelves. Lastly, we added two sofas to finish off this entertainment space.

 

custom drapery scottsdale

 

We believe in culling the options for our clients and bringing them only the best selections for their space, the design, and their lifestyle, and sometimes that means seeking custom furnishings and finishes! To further elongate this living space’s high ceilings, we added floor-to-ceiling custom drapery. Further bringing the eye upward, we also added a two-tier brass chandelier.

5 Rug Style Trends We Love in 2023 to Elevate Interior Design

Looking to find your footing when it comes to home design? Rugs are one of our go-to pieces to ground and define an interior. Whether you’re wanting to connect or divide a space, rugs are great for adding intention and warmth to your home. Keep reading for a look at five rugs we recently styled in our interior design projects!

 

Geometric Rugs Make a Statement

An entryway is where first impressions are made, so it’s important that it sets the tone for the rest of the home. Combining modern and Moroccan, this geometric rug’s pop of pattern is the perfect way to draw guests into our Montevista Project.

We know how intimidating prints can be for homeowners, but oftentimes pattern is just what the interior needs to make a memorable statement. Featuring the same black and ivory tones found in nearby details, this geometric rug added a beautiful and balanced feel to our project’s entryway.

Bonus: the durable weave made it an ideal piece for a high-traffic space like this one!

 

Solid Rugs Can be Stylish without Being Boring

We’re all about incorporating color and pattern in an approachable way, like we did in our 83rd Place project. In a neutral interior like this one, a rug with a pop of color is great to style alongside quieter elements as it keeps the design interesting and eclectic without going over the top. The over-tufted dot design also adds a subtle and intriguing texture to the space. Who said solids have to be boring?

 

Hide Rugs are Not Going Out Style

When it came to adding sophistication and comfort to our Calle de Pompas Project, we looked no further than this cowhide rug. Its organic shape was a beautiful complement to the dining space’s small circular table. The rug’s natural texture and dark tones also added a warm and masculine touch to the interior.

 

Elegant Black and White Rugs are Always a Good Idea

High-contrast and high-impact color palettes are our love language, so it’s no wonder why this black and white rug was love at first sight for us. Its sleek and elegant colorway is just what our Silverleaf project’s entryway needed to draw guests in.

 

How to Style with a Jute Rug

We love combining chic, contemporary style with relaxed, approachable comfort. That’s why in our Ironwood Project’s primary bathroom, our goal was to create a serene, organic feel with touches of glam throughout. This textured jute rug gave us the best of both worlds! Its high contrast made a statement, while its natural texture kept the space feeling simple and grounded.
