I am now teaching interior design classes four times a week. I love answering questions, thinking on my feet, and seeing my students' love of design. One of the tenets I teach my class is to avoid all beige rooms because them you have to rely on detailing for interest, and details don't come cheap--usually. This is not the case with Anthropologie's Textural Acacia Lamp ($149, was $298). It's subtle texture, impeccable carving, and unique look are one beige moment that totally works on a budget!
