When you think of a farmhouse, typically you don’t think of the beach, but it seems that the two worlds have recently collided to create a harmonic balance between them. Gone are the preconceived notions that the classic appearance of the traditional farmhouse needs to remain uniformly Victorian. Thanks to the shabby chic movement, the natural wear and tear that commonly is associated with these older farmhouses has now been heralded as the latest trend.

Vintage White RLM Twisted Cloth Cord

Factory Chic Styling With A Twist: Twisted Cotton Cord Pendants

Warehouse-Shade-RLM-Twist-Cord-Pendant

Fueling the surge to create unique factory settings in specialty stores, showrooms, and boutiques is the desire to provide an industrial atmosphere out of as much original recycled materials as possible. This often requires a business to use a blend of vintage and modern elements to recapture the look of mid 20th century warehouses. Unfortunately the supply for original RLM warehouse shades is limited to availability and options. Realizing these limitations, our newest line of Industrial Twist Cord Warehouse Pendants take the traditional appearance of these classic lights and pair them with a twisted cotton cord to create a flexible alternative to standard RLM mounting. As seen in the featured images, the showroom of this industrial inspired boutique utilizes a set of multi-paned factory windows to create a loft environment with rustic influence. Acting as a display light for the products below, the use of multiple warehouse shades spotlight each item from twisted cotton cords that are draped from the rafters. This feature not only is functional, but it creates a viable design element that can transform a room with industrial elegance. With 2 choices in warehouse shades and multiple finishes available, the twist cord Industrial Warehouse Pendant remains as the perfect example of vintage industrial rejuvenation.

When Cactus Creek was setting up their store, they had a need for some lighting that would reflect the rustic feel of the items featured in their store. With a flair for the eclectic the obvious choice for the stores lighting need was the 16” Outback Pendant in powder coat rust with a galvanized cast guard surrounding a clear glass. Not only is this shade an American made product, but its unique blend of historical influence is borrowed from early barn shades, featuring a modified cast guard unit to merge industrial styles with this classic from. This light was a perfect fit for the hardwood floors and dark wood walls, providing the ideal blend between rustic and shabby chic décor.
