Blue Sailboat Vintage Nautical Lamp Shades

Blue Sailboat Vintage Nautical Lamp Shades

Harriet Bee

These coastal lamp shades have a white base with a nautical theme of sailboats and birds in a bold dark navy blue. The same blue wraps the top and bottom of the 8” tall by 10” deep and wide embroidered empire shade.

Designer Advice:

Coastal lamp shades can feature many types of ocean imagery, from beaches and sea animals to boats. Your boat preference can play a role in which lampshade ends up in your shopping cart. Use the surrounding decor and accents to help you pick a boat that fits cohesively into your design rather than being a clash of nautical pieces.

$47.99 $74.99

Designer Advice:

The main factor for vintage nautical lamp shades is faded neutral coloring that looks aged and used. This lamp’s imaging gives the appearance of a hand-crafted shade constructed of various postage stamps that layer together for a completed design. It can make a regular lamp base look more nautical or tone down a bold ocean color choice like turquoise.

Even if your home is completely landlocked, you can enjoy the ambiance of the ocean with these beautiful or quaint shades.

  • Nautical Explorer

If your child thrives on tales of sailing ships and ancient explorers, this is a perfect lampshade for your young person’s room.

  • Yo-Ho-Ho, Skeleton Chest

Be sure to put your copy of Treasure Island next to this lamp!
