Cheap Beach Table Lamps

When walking into a beach house, you get a certain feeling that evokes memories of happy holidays spent with family and friends. Besides the festive atmosphere, ocean views, and sound of crashing waves, the décor of a beach home plays a large role in creating ambiance. Unfortunately, the cost of décor items can be prohibitive.

Table lamps are inherently expensive. Prices often reach thousands of dollars. Thankfully, a few stores sell affordable table lamps that will contribute to your coastal home without making it look kitsch and cheap. Walmart, Houzz, Wayfair, and Overstock are a few examples.

Coastal homes are filled with textural materials such as rattan, grasscloth, and textured fabrics. Ocean-inspired accessories abound, with direct or metaphorical references to seashells, seaweed, and coastal animals. While there is an enormous amount of kitsch ocean décor available, it is possible to find tasteful elements to incorporate into your coastal home at an affordable price.

Cheap Beach Table Lamps

When referring to beach house décor, there is no single aesthetic that dominates. Beach houses are decorated in numerous ways depending on the owner’s tastes and budget. Apart from the stark, minimalist type of beach home, however, most coastal homes are cozy, homely spaces.

Generally speaking, coastal homes will have décor inspired by the coastal environment, however literal the references may be. Texture abounds, creating a rich, layered effect that helps add to the warm, comfortable, and relaxing atmosphere.

Rattan and grasscloth are commonplace, along with driftwood, jute, and plenty of robust fabrics. Almost any beach house will have accessories inspired by the ocean. Often, the washed-up items found by visitors and residents during their strolls along the beach will be incorporated into the home’s décor.

While it’s not advisable to go overboard with coastal references in your choice of accessories for your beach house, there is a way to go about this with good taste and restraint.

By carefully selecting table lamps that subtly reference the coast without being overly kitsch, you will be able to create an aesthetic that is simultaneously chic, durable, and cozy with a subtly ocean-inspired feel.

Table lamps are generally not cheap items by any means. While you can pick up a (most likely ugly and badly-made) table lamp for under fifty dollars, prices can stretch into the thousands of dollars.

This article illustrates a few examples of tasteful coastal-inspired table lamps from several online stores that will not break the bank. Some stores include Target, Walmart, Amazon, Overstock, Wayfair, Houzz, Bella Coastal Décor, and Caron’s beach house.
