Zooey Deschanel and Johnathan Scott's constant home renovations have been a consistent topic of interest to the Homes & Gardens celebrity style section. The couple always keeps their home fresh by incorporating new wallpapers, fabrics, and accents gradually over time. We love their method of 'slow decorating,' but it can lead to feelings of indecision.
In a recent Instagram reel, the actress jokes about the couples' living room lighting writing: 'Me to Jonathan after I made another joke about changing all the wall sconces again' with a silly audio that says, 'It was a a bit of a laugh, it's tongue in cheek.' In the comments, her husband jokes back: 'Ok….maybe a little funny.' (If your flirting doesn't involve home decor-related banter I don't want it).
Luckily, whether it's Zooey reading this or just someone who loves her style, I have a few ideas. After watching the video, I trawled through images of her home to find the best of her wall sconces. From mid-century modern pieces to more vintage-inspired candle-style sconces, it's clear that her finish of choice is brass. Each sconce currently in her home honors her eclectic and colorful style composed of a perfect blend of contemporary furniture alongside decorating with vintage.
Zooey Deschanel's home echoes her twee personal style by tapping into the whimsical decor trend. In just this Instagram post, I can spot her pink sofa, floral cactus patterned wallpaper, and black wall paint. The home works so well because it's clear she loves everything in it.

To emulate her iconic look, I chose pieces in brass, both new and vintage. Though they are simple to fit into a multi-patterned, all of my picks have a little something 'extra' or 'interesting' about them that would make a guest ask you, 'what are the best places to buy lighting?.' I chose a mix of more intricate and simple pieces at a range of price points to fit into any home.

If you want to embrace 'slow decorating' like Zooey Deschanel, it is helpful to think about the overall 'vibe' you want to curate in your space rather than fixating on particular styles. By starting with this energy, it becomes easier to bring pieces that match the style into your home. Practice visiting antique stores, vintage, stores, and flea markets to pick up one-off, ecclectic, and interesting pieces that match your theme. The nature of this kind of shopping prevents doing everything at once, providing a valuable exercise in thoughtfulness.
Patience, vintage, shopping and the right wall sconces are the right place to begin to create your own personal oasis.
