There is something magical about the winter season. Outside, the world turns crisp and cold, perhaps dusted with snow. Inside, we crave the opposite: warmth, comfort, and a soft, inviting glow.
This is why we are obsessed with Alabaster.
Unlike standard glass, natural alabaster stone has a milky, translucent quality. When unlit, it looks like a sculpture carved from ice or snow-perfect for a winter aesthetic. But the moment you flip the switch? It transforms into a warm, diffused ember that softens the entire room. Moreover, alabaster is a gift from nature-each raw stone and finished product possesses unique textures, making every lamp one of a kind. It’s not just a light, it’s a mood.
As you prepare your home for holiday hosting (or just looking for that perfect cozy upgrade), we’ve curated our top 8 Alabaster picks.
