Autumn ushers in earlier darkness and a return to being indoors more. I treasure the idea of a lamplight room, a cozy throw and settling in with a good book!
Lighting is one of the most important design elements in a space. There are three basic types of lighting….general, task and accent. A good lighting design will incorporate all three of these elements to provide a cohesive design. Lighting not only illuminates your home, but gives it personality and character. The various aspects of lighting are too numerous to detail in a single post. Therefore, today, I have chosen to focus on lamps.
Lamps serve more than one purpose. They not only light a space, but act as dynamic accessories in a room. Offered in all shapes, sizes and colors, lamps help define a room. Today, I am sharing 8 lamps that will provide an impact without breaking the bank. Prices range from $100 to $300.
Featured above is a favorite lamp of mine in my living room. The glass curves are my favorite aspect. This lamp straddles the line between traditional and contemporary. I would use it in either setting.
A mercury glass lamp speaks rustic luxury. Pair on either side of a bed as shown here.
Use a colorful lamp to accent your space. This luscious green lamp warms up any interior.
A mid-century modern lamp is fun with its combination of ceramic and wood. I purchased this lamp for my daughter and son-in-law’s condo in the city. It’s smaller scale makes it ideal for tighter spaces.
Flank a beautiful dining room buffet with a pair of these candlestick lamps. I love the elegant and airy feel they offer.
A chinosierie lamp is always a classic. It works equally well in traditional or contemporary decor. The squared shape of this lamp adds interest.
Consider lamps an accessory for your home. The options are endless! I hope you are inspired to add some character to your home with great lamps!
