We just fell in love with this lamp when we saw it! Simply adding accent pieces is such an easy and trendy way to add your own personal touch and style to a room, like this giraffe lamp we came across. It looked so playful with the giraffe poking its head up over the lamp shade yet still had a sophisticated approach with the black/white and sleek design. We could see this lamp added to a contemporary room with bold colors and modern décor. This lamp could easily replace a different boring lamp you might otherwise have in its place, and in any room boring just isn’t acceptable.
A room demands personal touches. We could see this piece getting a second glance from someone who may ask, is that really a lamp shaped like a giraffe!? We believe that playfulness in a room can be added in the cleverest yet most subtle of ways. Having uncommon pieces in a room just adds personality to it.
At Storibook Designs we’re always trying to find a way to make a room more interesting and appealing, and especially enjoy incorporating your own personal style to a room. This lamp could go with so many different fabrics and different designs yet still is an original piece. We think personal style is what makes a home a home and finding that unique style is what something we aim for.

Great blog! Love the giraffe lamp, playful but sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteCan't say I like this lamp, but I love the idea of using a fun accent peice as inspiration for a room. Inspiration comes from anywhere and any time one has an open mind and thinks creatively.

Love and appreciate your honesty! Design is very personal, so a giraffe lamp definitely does not fit in to everyone's schemes :-). I always tell clients to "trust what you love"... if they do that and are honest to their own likes/dislikes, the result will be a design plan they can be happy with! Thanks Mary!
ReplyDeleteVery fun! I agree with Mary that I'm not sure the lamp is my style, but the concept you present is great and I love the balance of elegance and playfulness. Very helpful to include the fabric samples to show some options, too. Would love to see more of how you would/have put things together.
ReplyDeleteI will have to do a design up a design board to show you how I would have used this. I'll give you a hint... it would include the lamp, the black/white trellis looking fabric and a giraffe silhouette on the wall done with chalkboard paint!!
ReplyDeleteEvery room should have a couple of elements that just make people smile - like the giraffe lamp!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be an easy way to make the world a happier place?
That is very true Liz. Unexpected elements add so much to a room, if not visual interest, at the very least, something to talk about. :-)
