Get the Drift?


Drive down the west coast of the US and you'll see an abundance of beautiful driftwood adorning the beaches. Driftwood has an edgy, masculine appeal that inspires designers to create unique pieces of furniture and accessories. Add a piece of driftwood to a modern, minimal space or add it to your cottage-chic sitting room to invoke a feeling of earthy sophistication. Here are some of my favorite pieces.

Driftwood Lighting


1. Driftwood Chandelier by Currey & Co: $648 - would work well in a sparkling white dining room or an entryway - what a versatile piece!   
2. Tall Driftwood Table Lamp by Regina Andrew: $293 - very contemporary, very zen.
3. Short Driftwood Table Lamp by Currey & Co: $390 - Doubles as a sculpture.
4. Driftwood Floor Lamp by Arteriors: $1,101 - A statuesque piece, fit for a room with high ceilings.
5. Driftwood Lantern by Currey & Co: $855 - I saw this in a winery in Napa and couldn't take my eyes off it...
6. Driftwood Orb by Currey & Co: $871 - I love how the driftwood is bent to create the orb. 


Driftwood Accessories


1. Driftwood Bodega Mirror by Arteriors: $775 - I had this piece installed in our dining room and its looks stunning! I'll add a photo of it soon. 
2. Driftwood Candelabra: $215 - would look so pretty in a shabby chic room.
3. Driftwood Windward Mirror by Currey & Co: $299 - a great twist on a traditional sunburst mirror. 
4. Driftwood Wall Hooks through Etsy: $40 - form + function at its best.
5. Root Coat Stand through Viva Terra: $279 - they're both great, but I like the entwined root one more. 
6. Driftwood Mobile through Etsy: $30 - hang them on your patio or use a few of them as room dividers.

Driftwood Furniture


1. Round Driftwood Dining Table at Pieces: $3760 - quite pricey, but worth every penny. Pair it with West Elm's wrap dining chairs and you've got a winning combo!
2. Driftwood Bench at VandM: $950 - each one of these is handmade - throw on a couple of mongolian lamb pillows for added comfort.
3. Driftwood End Table at Crate and Barrel: $399 - a steal at this price.
4. Driftwood Console Table by Arteriors: $1437 - put this in your otherwise modern, clean-lined condo for added effect.
5. Driftwood Stool by Roost: $175 - create a wine corner in your home with these stools and the matching wine rack.
6. Square Driftwood Table: $1750 - reasonably priced - pair this table with linen slipcovered chairs for an updated shabby chic look.
