People often think of steampunk as a way of dressing and not as a whole movement that includes literature, music and decorations. If you don’t like dressing up regularly, or don’t have the opportunity to, having some small furnishings is a great way to keep the steampunk in your life. You might want something big, like a whole library with telescopes, globes, compasses and clock or you might prefer something low key, like a lamp. Luckily, we’ve collected a supply of different lamps to give your room a great steampunk vibe without requiring too much space or cost.
There are some great lamps which are clearly inspired by steampunk, like these ones from my favourite industrial lamp instagram account Lightbulbies. A lot of them are absolutely unique and made using recycled metal and pipes that gives them a great post-apocalyptic vibe whilst still actually functioning as a lamp and lighting a small area. Some of Lightbulbies’ are even shaped like animals or telescopes to bring in other elements. If mechanical hearts are popular in steampunk jewellery, why wouldn’t mechanical dogs make great steampunk pets and incorporate clockwork and cogs to really emphasise the look?!
