In his latest post, he's giving insights on how the unexpected can really make a home shine. "Does a lamp belong on a kitchen counter? In my new book, Foundations, I explore how unconventional choices can make a house feel personal," he wrote in the caption of an Instagram Reel posted on May 17."One thing I talk about in my new book is how to style different areas of the home, including countertops, and unexpected places to use things that you may not have thought of using," he begins. "For example, table lamps in the kitchen,"Berkus explains that there tends to be a lot of power outlets in kitchens, especially around the countertop."I really like having a secondary source of light," he said. "Something that's charming. I love the fact that a kitchen doesn't just need overhead lighting, but something that's really cool and concentrated."He points over to his stylish triangular stone lamps that are placed next to the stove and gives the countertop a rustic, glamorous glow. While it's likely that antique-lover Berkus purchased a unique vintage set of lamps, you can recreate the look with this pyramid stone lamp from Bed Bath & Beyond.
