Decorating with Lamps

Infusing your home with lamps of every shape and size will add personality and lots of warmth to your home. There are so many types of lighting that you can use to decorate your home with, like: wall scones, clamp on lamps, pot lighting, outdoor, landscape, pendant and recessed lighting.

The style of your lamps will filter your light source for an ambient, moody and soft glow anywhere on the interior or exterior of your home.

• Wall
• Table
• Floor

By utilizing lamps as decorative accessories, you will be able to fill spaces with just the right style.

It really comes down to knowing how to place your lamps throughout the house. For instance, once you’ve put down a master layout of all your floor and table lamps, you can begin to accessorize around them. Bring the elegant or contemporary touch of your floor and table lamps to life with extra accessories like: clocks, candles, mirrors, throw pillows, pictures, collectables, books, and plants.

Table Lamps

Table lamps are the ultimate decorative must have for almost every area in your home. You can use table lamps to decorate many spaces, like the den, study, children’s or master bedroom. Soft table lamps make any intimate or quiet room feel cozy and comfortable.

Lamps allow you to bring extra warmth to areas that people like to gather, like the dining room, living room, and family room. Smart looking desk or piano lamps are perfect decorative pieces when company comes. So, whether you use table lamps for reading, writing, or simply relaxing, you can’t go wrong with this decorative coo.

There are many beautiful and enchanting styles of table lamps, especially from top names and designers. Let’s take a look at some of the gorgeous ways you can enliven your home with the following types of table lamps:

• Mica
• Crystal
• Tiffany
• Mission
• Wrought Iron

Traditionally, the design of a mica lamp is inspired by the European’s sense of culture. This means that you will find mica lamps in cherry wood or mahogany bases, with natural shades of stained glass. For neutral crèmes and beiges, mica lamps balance and ground the style of any room.

Crystal lighting has long been used as grand chandeliers at the entrance of many homes. Now you can bring the ethereal elegance of crystal to any room in your home. Table lamps that are made of crystal usually stray from the traditional form to create a more feminine, willowy style. Pineapple or lead crystal pieces make an excellent choice for decorative pieces in hallways or grand rooms.

Almost everybody who knows home décor has heard about Tiffany lamps. Tiffany lamps are reminiscent of the art deco era, when expression was at its finest. With their trademark pieces of multicolored stained glass, these lamps utilize shape and movement to create many different forms. You can find a Tiffany lamp in traditional umbrella, square or opal shapes, or in the forms of mushroom caps, animals, boats, houses and more. Finished with a bronze base, petite Tiffany table lamps are a beautiful addition to any home.

Another table lamp that comes with an old world charm is the wrought iron style. Using heavy European wrought iron, the bases of these lamps are their main feature. Twisted, coiled or straight pieces of wrought iron make the shape of these table lamps quite unique. Finished into a midnight black, ivory, or rusty red, wrought iron lamps can be accented beautifully with warm colors.

Don’t confuse wrought iron lamps with mission style lamps, as there are a few distinct differences. Mission style metal is usually woven into Celtic patterns and feature geometric patterns on the lampshades.
