The Arteriors Alternative

Arteriors has redefined what accent furnishings and lighting can be. Their collections — spanning chandeliers, table lamps, mirrors, side tables, and decorative objects — bring a level of artistry and material exploration that transforms good rooms into extraordinary ones.

Arteriors — Where Art Meets Function in Every Detail

Working with materials like hand-hammered brass, mouth-blown glass, natural horn, and cast resin, Arteriors creates pieces that function as both furnishing and sculpture. Their designer collaborations and limited-production runs ensure that spaces featuring Arteriors pieces feel genuinely distinctive.

At Emerald & Oak, Arteriors is one of our essential finishing brands. We use their lighting and accessories as the layer that elevates a well-furnished room into something truly memorable — the chandelier that draws the eye upward, the mirror that doubles the light, the accent table that anchors a reading nook.

Why Arteriors Defines the Finishing Layer

Arteriors excels where most furniture brands stop:

Arteriors doesn't furnish rooms — it finishes them. And that finishing layer is where design becomes memorable.

  • Sculptural lighting that serves as functional art — chandeliers, pendants, sconces, and table lamps
  • Artisan materials: hand-hammered metals, mouth-blown glass, natural stone, and cast resin
  • Statement mirrors and accent furniture that anchor vignettes and focal points
  • Limited-production designs that ensure your space feels unique, not replicated

Statement Pieces Need a Stage

Arteriors creates extraordinary accent pieces — but accents without context are just objects:

An extraordinary accent piece deserves an extraordinary room built around it.

  • Lighting requires technical planning: A sculptural Arteriors chandelier needs proper ceiling height, electrical placement, and room proportions to achieve its intended impact.
  • Scale calibration is critical: A 42-inch mirror or a bold side table can either anchor a space or overwhelm it — the difference is spatial planning and proportion management.
  • The surrounding room matters: An Arteriors pendant over a dining table is only as beautiful as the table beneath it, the chairs around it, and the rug underfoot.
  • Trade access reveals the best pieces: Many of Arteriors' most distinctive designs are available exclusively through authorized design trade partners.

The Finishing Layer, Designed In

We don't add Arteriors as an afterthought — we design it into the room from the beginning. Lighting plans, accent placement, and material coordination are integral to our process.

  • Integrated Lighting Design: Arteriors fixtures selected for specific rooms, specific tasks, and specific moments — not browsed from a catalog after the furniture arrives.
  • Material Harmony: Arteriors' brass, glass, and stone coordinated with your furniture finishes, textile palette, and architectural elements for seamless cohesion.
  • Layered Brand Curation: Arteriors accents paired with Four Hands furniture, Exquisite Rugs, and Wendover Art — every brand playing its role in a unified design.
  • Complete Installation: Lighting installed, mirrors hung, accessories placed — every Arteriors piece arrives positioned and styled as part of your finished room.

Ideal for

  • Homeowners who understand that lighting and accessories make or break a room
  • Clients seeking trade-only access to Arteriors' full catalog of sculptural designs
  • Anyone building or renovating who wants lighting and accents planned alongside furniture
  • Design enthusiasts drawn to artisan craftsmanship and unique material combinations

Frequently asked questions

Can you source from Arteriors' full catalog?
Yes. As authorized trade partners, we access Arteriors' complete collection including trade-exclusive pieces, custom options, and pre-market releases.
Do you handle lighting installation?
We coordinate complete installation including electrical-ready fixture placement. For hardwired pieces, we work with licensed electricians as part of our project management.
Are there design fees when working with Emerald & Oak on a Arteriors project?
Design fees are waived for full-room furnishing projects that meet our minimum order threshold.
Can I just order Arteriors pieces without a full room design?
Our service is designed for complete room or whole-home furnishing. For individual accent pieces, we recommend visiting an Arteriors showroom or authorized retailer.
Is Arteriors lighting UL listed?
Yes — all Arteriors hardwired lighting is UL listed for residential and commercial installation. Their fixtures are engineered to North American electrical standards, including damp-rated and ADA-compliant options where specified. We coordinate with licensed electricians to ensure proper installation and code compliance for every fixture we specify.
Can Arteriors fixtures be customized?
Many Arteriors fixtures are available in alternate finishes through their custom program — particularly their core chandeliers, sconces, and floor lamps. Lead times for custom finish work typically run 10 to 14 weeks. As authorized trade partners, we coordinate custom orders directly through Arteriors' design support team.
What size chandelier does my dining room need?
A useful starting formula: add the room's length and width in feet, and that sum (in inches) is the recommended chandelier diameter. For a 14-by-16 dining room, a 30-inch fixture is appropriate. Hanging height should typically allow 30 to 36 inches of clearance above the dining table, adjusted for ceiling height. We finalize these calculations as part of every lighting plan we deliver.
