From Fruits to Lamps
The pineapple has been a symbol of hospitality for centuries. According to Atlas Obscura, the concept of pineapples equating to hospitality comes from Caribbean trips by imperial travellers who discovered that natives who hung the fruit in front of their entrances were welcoming to strangers. Thanks to their presence in front of villages and local huts, pineapples became widely considered a symbol of hospitality among the gentry in Europe. The concept travelled to America, too, where colonial houses often had the pineapple’s image in common areas. Pineapple table lamps are an extension of this tradition, using the pineapple motif as a decorative element to convey a sense of hospitality and welcome.
Locations for Your Pineapple Table Lamp
A pineapple table lamp can be placed in any room where you want to add a touch of tropical charm and hospitality. Some common places to put a pineapple table lamp include on a bedside table, on an end table in the living room, or on a console table in the entryway. The lamp can also be used as an accent piece on a bookshelf or mantel.
Styling with Pineapple Table Lamps
If you would love a pineapple table lamp in your place but don’t know how to combine it with your furniture and decor to make a harmonious look, here are some styling tips you may adapt to your room:
- For a bit of a modern and classy vibe, use a pineapple table lamp with muted tones, like the Bermuda Antique Silver Pineapple Table Lamp, on a glass console table embellished with metallic designs. Include a neutral grey sofa couch near the area, and you now have a transformed reading space.
