You know how much I love mixing bold, moody vibes with softer, natural elements? Well, two years ago, we created a lighting line with Shades of Light that features modern, industrial vibes and traditional elegance. There was one element we knew we wanted to add, and that’s an organic, natural material that will add some collectible charm to your home.
And let me tell you, our newest lighting collection is here, and it’s everything I dreamed of!
Shop The Greta Lighting Collection
Our new Chris Loves Julia Greta lighting collection with Shades of Light has gorgeous natural rattan textures and soft, scalloped shapes—perfect for adding a touch of warmth and handcrafted feel to your home.
You know that feeling when you just need something to add texture, a neutral tone, and a touch of softness to your space? That’s exactly what this collection is. And it delivers in spades!
Think lakehouse or coastal vibes, but with that Chris Loves Julia twist. It’s the softer side of lighting, the pieces I found myself reaching for in my own home—especially for my girls. Their rooms fit into our home’s moody, modern, traditional side, but they need details that are a little more whimsical. And a rattan lamp really leans into that!
The Details of Our Rattan Collection
Greta Table Lamp
The scalloped shapes are so charming and interesting. We worked tirelessly with Shades of Light to get the color just right, that perfect natural tone that feels warm and fresh.
And the rattan? Oh, the rattan. You can tell the quality and the era by the weave! This is a tighter, more current weave, giving it that modern, yet timeless feel.
What Size Are the Lights?
I made sure to get the dimensions so you can find the perfect spot for these beauties:
And because I know you’ll ask, let’s talk about that gorgeous rattan. Each shade is handmade with natural rattan, woven in that stunning scallop pattern. It’s all about those organic, natural vibes.
Where to Use Rattan Lighting
Now, a quick note about where to place these lights. Because rattan is a natural material, these pieces are designed for indoor, dry spaces. So, think living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms—anywhere you want to add that touch of natural elegance.
Greta Ceiling Light
Of course I love this rattan collection for nurseries. Our friend and former team member Brooke (remember her baby shower?) was designing a nursery for her second baby, and I was so excited to give her early access to this collection so she could welcome her home. This rattan flush mount lamp with scallops really softens the space and feels so charming for a little girl’s bedroom.
How to Care for Rattan Lighting
Keeping these rattan lights looking their best is super simple! Just use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the fixture, including the rattan shade, to remove dust. And remember, no spraying with liquids or harsh chemicals! You want to keep that natural beauty intact.
