This Unexpected Lighting Brand Is My Favorite New Home Decor Source
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: My Instagram ad algorithm knows me better than I know myself. Scary? Arguably, yes. But helpful? Also yes. Countless times (more than I’d like to admit, TBH), a quick scroll through Instagram turns into an impromptu shopping spree, thanks to the app’s curated product carousels interrupting my feed. It’s like having a virtual personal shopping assistant that sources hidden gems from some of my go-to clothing and home stores as well as new-to-me brands.
The latter was recently the case for me with what I’d consider one of my greatest online decor discoveries. For context, I’m a sucker for all things squiggled, scalloped, or curved, but especially so in mirror form — there’s just something about a wavy, whimsical design that I can’t get enough of. So many of these trendy fluid styles sadly fall way out of my budget. Enter: my always-one-step-ahead-of-me Instagram feed, which introduced me to the absolutely perfect under-$200 squiggle mirror from a somewhat unexpected retailer, Shades of Light.
Unbeknownst to me, this lamp manufacturer sells, well, way more than just lighting. And after ordering this mirror right away, I also did a shopping deep dive to see what other under-the-radar decor scores their website has to offer. Turns out, there’s a lot — all just as stylish and well-priced as my newfound wall accent. Below, I did the important legwork that my Instagram ads have done for me, picking out six of the best Shades of Light decor pieces that look way more expensive than they actually are.
