Get the Look: 38 Coastal Pendant Lights Made from Rattan, Wicker, Seagrass, Jute, Hemp, and More

Coastal style pendant lights made from rattan, wicker, seagrass, and more.

These days, it seems, a room is not complete with a pendant light made from natural fibers. Even if you’re not celebrating coastal decor, somehow, rattan makes its way into a room.

Natural fiber pendant lights made from rattan, wicker, seagrass, jute, hemp, rope, and the like, is certainly an effective way to add texture into a room. And you can supersize your light fixture and go with a dramatic silhouette without being too too, because the earthy material tempers the glam effect.

There is a never ending array of rattan pendant lights and rattan chandeliers on the market. I’ve curated the best ones, from simple wicker globe pendants to distinctive statement chandeliers to artsy, natural fiber pendant lights that almost look like handwoven works of art.

Which would I chose? I like the tailored shape of #2, the playful boutique hotel vibe of #4, the simplicity of #10, and the nostalgia of #38, which looks like the light pendant that hung in my childhood bedroom.

Just In: Everything Is 20% Off at Serena & Lily (Even New Arrivals)

Coastal California has been rebranded as Coastal Grandmother style. Why now? Nancy Meyers films (Something’s Gotta Give, It’s Complicated, etc.) spawned the term; talk about a delayed reaction. The Coastal Grandmother trend has been ubiquitous for, like, ever.

It’s not just in California; New England is inundated with breezy coastal decor. So is much of the rest of the country; one look at Instagram confirms it. Why so popular? It’s fresh, pretty, and accessible.

Serena & Lily nailed the look years ago and the brand’s social media presence has helped perpetuate the look. Call it Coastal California style or the Coastal Grandma trend, either way, the look lives on.

ARTmonday: 13 Whale Artworks

Since I’m spending the month on the Outer Cape, curating a collection of whale artwork seems fitting. I’ve never actually been on a whale watch, I’ve never read Moby Dick, and I’ve definitely never worn miniature whales on a belt—not even in the ’80s—but I’ve live in New England long enough to appreciate the whale.

My son spent his entire third grade year learning about whales and whaling, though admittedly I didn’t accompany the class on any whaling museum field trips. I did however buy him Don Carney’s Timid Whale print at 20×20. After the boys broke the glass with a football I moved it to their bathroom, where it lives happily.

Here are 13 not too preppy whale artworks—children’s art and grownup specimens—from a variety of artists and shops, including StyleCarrot partners.
