Styleture

We may roll out the red carpet for Hollywood glam but when it comes to Oscar night, we can’t help but get swept up in the silver screen. But whether you’re shooting a major motion picture or remaking your living space, it’s important to remember what comes first— lights! From setting the mood to perhaps concealing the wrinkles of an aging starlet, great lighting is integral to a polished finish product. That’s why we’re taking a cue from a famous little golden statue to present our nominees for best movie-inspired lights.

Best Romance

Flirt by Corbett Lighting

Sigh…we think we’re in love. Corbett Lighting’s Flirt chandelier is a cross between a “Love Story” and a “True Romance.” But unlike your typical rom-com, Flirt is anything but predictable. With both amethyst rock crystals and clear crystals, Flirt bucks tradition with its nickel jewelry chain. A hand-crafted iron base in a modern silver leaf finish, along with a hardback linen shade, further enhance Flirt’s timeless beauty for a look that’s sure to leave hearts in your eyes.

Even though Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby isn’t hitting theatres until June, we can’t keep our love for the Roaring Twenties quiet. Nearly a century later, the 1920s produced timeless, modernist pieces that are still very much en vogue today. Sculptural forms with strong ties to architecture and design, faceted polished chrome and stainless steel, elegant black and white and refined crystal detailing… we think these designs are the cat’s pajamas! Let’s take a look at some of these great designs inspired by The Great Gatsby himself.

Black out? Never. The darkest color in the rainbow is also the most tragically misunderstood. Black isn’t all doom and gloom, it’s a color worthy of worship even outside the funeral parlor. White is passé after Labor Day, but black is classic and refined year round. Feeling a little spooky? Take the passenger seat in our hearse and ride along as we dig up these black beauties…

Bijoux – Corbett Lighting

Bijoux is the French word for “jewelry” and while the traditional Goth may shun sparkles in favor of studded bracelets and lace chokers, this is a piece worthy of anyone’s collection. Wrought from hand-crafted iron, Corbett Lighting’s design blends Classic Golden Silver with delicious Antique Black. And just like your trusty night light, the shining crystal accents brighten up even the darkest corners.

Queen of Love Armchair by Moro-Pigatti

Even people of a ghostly pallor need to get a little sunshine once in a while. This whimsical throne by Italian designers Graziano Moro and Renato Pigatti can be placed outdoors or indoors, depending on your ghastly tan lines. And because this armchair is made from recyclable linear polyethylene, it’s an eco-friendly addition to your haunted house. The Queen of Love is available in 13 unlucky colors but we prefer to lie back in black.

They call Palm Beach “The Best of Everything.” And with miles of sand and surf, it never disappoints. Delight in the tropical beauty of Florida’s island haven with the best in everything Palm Beach – the styles that will transport you to the summer days and sun-kissed beaches of one of the country’s most architecturally inspiring ocean oases. So slip on your sandals, grab your shades and bring paradise home. (Drinks with tiny umbrellas optional.)

Hastings Bath & Tile Ovo Silk Tub

A bright white finish and a hint of deco make Hastings’ Ovo Silk Tub the perfect Palm Beach centerpiece for the bath. Its unique oval shape gives the basin an ergonomic elegance, and its silky smooth finish cradles with a light hand. Durable as any porcelain tub but without the volume, Ovo infuses the bath with the luxury of a summer spa year-round.

Laufen Palomba Floor Standing Menhir Vessel

From the soothing contours of the ocean come the soft ripples of Laufen’s Palomba Menhir vessel. The floor-standing ceramic washbasin’s beautiful curves are reminiscent of a tide-swept rock that organically morphs the towers into the basin surface. Distinguished by a clean white finish, Menhir (which means “tall stone” in Breton) makes any bath feel a mere stone’s throw from the surf.
