Modern Indoor Lighting: Today’s Best Table Lamps

Today’s decorating styles are all about big, dramatic and vibrant. The idea is to be unique, make a statement and grab attention. We are seeing lots of daring colors in furniture design and modern indoor lighting is not to be left out. Today, we are seeing a wide range of new lamp shades and base designs, offering exciting new looks that will add a whole new brightness to your home decorating. Here are our top 5 lamp styles for you to explore.

Big and Bold Bases

Lighting designers have gone big and bold with their lamp bases. The whole idea is to make lighting a sculptural and dramatic focal point for the room. Popular looks include designs with antique appearances and organic-shaped vases that mimic forms found in nature. To bring in an organic look, use big lamps with  big wooden bases  like the Bligh Table Lamp by Kenroy Home.

Bright Colors

Runway-inspired décor makes it’s presence felt in a selection of brightly colored modern lamps. Poppy lavender, intense cobalt, cool teal, and glittering color treatments are all making a big splash this year. There is also emerald green, the color of the year, which gives an intense and warm blast to spice up bedrooms and seating areas. Because this is an intense color, keep in mind that a little goes a long way.

Clear Glass and Mirrors

To balance out your big and bold room elements, designers are turning to glass and mirrored designs. Glass table lamps like the Boda Table Lamp by Kenroy Home give a pure and clear form that provides  sparkle without fighting with other shapes and colors in a room design. Mirrored lamps offer more punch, reflecting colors and textures throughout a room and hey are perfect  for small rooms.

Metallic Table Lamps

It is not just eye-catching glass and splashy colors that are turning heads. Bold metallic tones of gold and silver are also being used. Metal table lamps like the Bishop Table Lamp Chrome by Kenroy Home offer wonderful glitter and texture. They make an impact in the room, especially when they are set against more organic elements or soft paint walls, giving an extra layer of richness for a room.

Custom DIY Looks

With the boom in Etsy crafting and DIY home projects, there is also a big movement to customizing table lamps to create unique designs. Adding new ribbons or trims to a shade is one of the easiest ways to add a little personalization. Looking at a new finial would also be a good idea. You can find lots of unique and affordable finials, from abstract shapes to animals and more.
