We hope you had a relaxing holiday weekend, even if the weather didn’t quite cooperate. Gray skies aside, we’re channeling a little brightness of our own this week—by talking all things lighting.
Before we dive in, a quick heads-up—our annual Tent Sale is right around the corner! Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 7 at 8 am at our Riverside warehouse. We’ll be opening the shop early that day too (also at 8:00 am), so come prepared to browse, dig, and discover some incredible deals (and maybe a lamp or two while you’re here).
Let’s jump into lighting! Lighting does so much more than brighten a room—it sets a mood, adds polish, and brings your design into focus. At Nell Hill’s, we love how the right fixture can change the entire feeling of a space. Whether you’re building a layered lighting plan or simply swapping out a tired lamp, our in-store lighting collection offers thoughtful, beautiful solutions you’ll live with (and love) every day.
We recently unpacked some stunning new lighting pieces—handpicked by our team at market—and they’re already turning heads on the floor. Here are just a few of our current favorites.
The Power of Soft Drama
Some spaces call for a moment. A fixture that draws the eye, adds structure, and casts the kind of glow that makes everything feel a little more special. One new chandelier on our floor does just that—crafted with a mix of rope and wrought iron, finished in warm gold leaf. Eight shaded lights give off a soft, room-filling glow, while petal-like details add a gentle nod to nature. It’s dramatic, but never fussy.
Texture That Speaks Volumes
We’re drawn to pieces that balance modern lines with organic materials—and our newest pendant strikes just the right note. Natural seagrass meets polished brass for a look that’s both tailored and full of personality. Whether you choose a large-scale pendant for over a dining table or a smaller size for a hallway or nook, this style layers in texture effortlessly. There’s even a coordinating desk lamp version, complete with twin tapered shades and a gleaming brass base.
Style That’s Subtle—but Never Boring
A sleek antique brass pendant with a perforated mesh detail brings just the right amount of visual interest—especially when lit. It comes in multiple sizes, and its clean drum silhouette means it plays well with both traditional and contemporary furnishings. The larger size makes a beautiful statement, but the finish and shape keep it understated.
Light That Lives Beautifully
Floor lamps are the quiet workhorses of a well-lit room. They can anchor a seating area, brighten up a dark corner, or act as sculpture in their own right. We’re currently loving a few new gold floor lamps that keep things clean and simple: slim metal bases, matching metal shades, and just the right amount of shine. Perfect for adding light without overwhelming the design.
A Moment for Table Lamps
We can’t talk lighting without giving table lamps their due. They’re one of the easiest ways to update a space—adding color, shape, and a soft glow all at once. At Nell Hill’s, we stock a variety of table lamps in different finishes and styles, from classic to unexpected. And just like everything else on our floor, they’re selected with design in mind. Can’t find exactly what you’ve been searching for? We have customization options available too!
Whether you’re hunting for the perfect pendant or just want to refresh a side table with a new lamp, we’re here to help. Stop by the shop to see our lighting collection in person, or chat with a member of our team—we have access to hundreds of options beyond what’s on display, and we’d love to help you find your perfect match. Until next time – Happy Decorating!
