Henshaw Shores Blue Lamp

Blue is a highly versatile accent color. Based on our styling expertise, aqua tones pair beautifully with neutral palettes like white, beige, or gray to create a serene, coastal-inspired environment. For a more dynamic contemporary look, the geometric style of this base can be used to provide a "pop" of color against dark wood furniture or navy blue decor.

With a height of approximately 17.5 inches, this lamp is an excellent choice for low-profile furniture or smaller accent tables where a standard 24-to-30-inch lamp might feel overwhelming. To ensure visual balance, our design principles suggest choosing a lamp that is roughly 1.5 times the height of the table it sits on. This compact scale is particularly effective for bedside use or in reading nooks where you want the light source positioned lower to minimize glare.

The white linen shade on this lamp is designed to provide high-quality diffusion, softening the output of the bulb to create a warm, ambient glow. Linen is a premium choice for lampshades because its natural texture subtly filters light, reducing harsh shadows while maintaining enough brightness for tasks like light reading or relaxing. The rectangular shape also helps direct light more efficiently over a specific surface area compared to traditional tapered shades.

This lamp features a hand-painted finish on a wood body, offering an artisanal quality that mass-produced plastic or metal bases often lack. Wood is a naturally durable material known for its stability and longevity. The hand-painted aqua and natural tones add a custom, contemporary look, ensuring that each piece has a unique character that enhances the expertise and care put into your home's decor.

To preserve the hand-painted wood finish and delicate linen shade, we recommend regular maintenance using a soft, dry cloth for dusting. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sprays, as these can damage the hand-painted layers or discolor the fabric. For the linen shade, a lint roller or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment can safely remove dust and pet hair to keep the "clean look" of the white material.

Yes, this lamp is specifically designed with a small footprint of just 7 inches by 7 inches, making it a perfect solution for narrow apartment entryways, small bedside tables, or crowded desks. Its vertical height of 17.5 inches provides sufficient illumination without occupying excessive surface area, which is a critical consideration for urban dwellers maximizing limited living space.
