Made in the Shade

The talented team at Tracery Interiors opted for a pair of our Large Aspen Hanging Shades for this beautiful, rustic kitchen.

Beloved for their balance of form and function, hanging shades add a touch of casual elegance to any space, particularly kitchens and dining rooms. Available in many shapes, hanging shades lend a modern, polished sensibility especially if one selects a large-scaled design. Hanging shades are very much on-trend right now, but are classic enough to endure the test of time. Have you used hanging shades in your home or in a client project? Would you?

 Designer, Alecia Stevens selected a pair of Small Goodman Hanging Lights by Thomas O’Brien for Visual Comfort & Co. for this glamorous kicthen. We love the brass accents and graphic patterns in the tile work.

This dining room by Bowerbird Interiors features a Goodman Hanging Lamp in Bronze and Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass with Natural Paper Shade. It’s the perfect complement to the masculine color palette.

 We previously posted about this stunning Nantucket home designed by Barbara Waltman which features the Square Tube Hanging Shade and Goodman Hanging Lamp. These hanging shades add a modern element to this beautiful kitchen.

 The February 2012 issue of Kitchen and Bath Ideas included this breakfast area designed by Matthew Quinn. The space includes Klismos-style chairs and our Square Tube Hanging Shade in Polished Nickel.

 This young traditional dining room is part of Kristin Collin’s Los Angeles home as featured on Apartment Therapy. The Simple Scallop Chandelier by Barbara Barry for Visual Comfort & Co.

 The Simple Scallop Chandelier works just as well in this more formal, elegant bathroom designed by Melanie Turner.

Also from our Barbara Barry Collection, the Westport Pendant adds a modern touch to this stylish bathroom designed by Scott Yetman and featured in the November 2011 issue of Canadian House & Home.
