Martha Stewart Designed The Perfect Hamptons-Chic Lamp – It's Under $40 at T.J. Maxx, but It Looks Like a $300 Pooky Light
Lately, we've been obsessing over the media mogul's newest collection for T.J. Maxx, and this new lamp is the best addition yet, and oh-so on trend
As we enter the final chapter of the summer months, you are probably searching for little touches that complete the summery, coastal energy of your home without breaking the bank. Luckily, Martha Stewart has designed the perfect thing: a Pleated and Ceramic Table Lamp available at T.K. Maxx.
The gorgeous scalloped blue piece perfectly encapsulates Hamptons decor in a pretty on-trend package. Its contrasting white-and-blue decor and brass accents feel so elevated and timeless. Though it's only $40, Martha's design reminds me of some of my favorite lamps from Pooky (like The Wobster Light at Anthropologie), which retail for over $300. If you're looking for a low-lift pick that will instantly make your living room more luxurious, it's the perfect late summer addition.
With its single bands of blue and cream shade, this gorgeous lamp is sure to spark conversation. The brass and ceramic materials make it feel heritage but contemporary at the same time.
This high-low mix is quintessential to the coastal style that defines the Hamptons. Pair this $40 lamp with your favorite designer textiles and vintage rattan furniture, and you'll instantly have a look that will stand the test of time. New-York-Based Designer Nina Lichtenstein explains: 'There’s a reason East Hampton homes always feel earthy and elevated. The style is steeped in restraint, never too polished, never too precious.'
The single, blue stripe on the edge of the Martha's lamp does much of the work. Nina advises: 'Stripes, especially in soft, sandy hues or washed-out blues, add just the right amount of pattern while still feeling calm and collected. They’re the quiet workhorse of East Coast coastal design, classic, clean, and never trying too hard.'
