Castilian Lighting

Castilian Decor

• Castilian decor is largely associated with Castilian Trading, which began as a brassware and home accessory company decades ago. Metal, glass, wood and porcelain were used to construct lighting and other home accents made by Castilian Trading. Created as a place for high-end home products, Castilian Trading creates lighting in embellished, ornate designs.

Lighting Types

• Castilian lighting is commonly composed of lamps, although some elaborate chandelier and sconce designs are also used in home decor. Table and floor lamps are also common in Castilian lighting. The lamps are designed with their own unique, matching lampshades that may have unexpected curves and unusual designs of their own. While Castilian lighting may look antique, it's made for modern designs and will be light bulb-ready.

Design Style

• Castilian lighting is made with flowing, ornate lines. Filigree metal work is common, as are embellished finials. The accompanying lampshades are made with the same attention to detail in flowing lines and decoration. The showy style of Castilian lighting makes it look antique, yet Castilian decor style is relatively recent in design.

Design With Castilian Lighting

• Rooms designed with Castilian lighting needn't be decorated with medieval or antique furnishings, though they will complete the lighting. Castilian lighting looks dramatic in modern settings, serving as a stylized contrast against minimalist or simpler, more modern decor.
