Interior lighting in a home often consists of built in light fixtures and go on and off with the flick of a switch as well as lamps. Lamps can give your decor a homey look. You can use lamps as a way to dictate the type of interior decor that you want in your home. Following are some ideas for lamp designs.
Hi-Tech, Ultra Modern Lamps
You have most likely seen the very modern, sleekly designed lamps that are featured in stores as well as online. These lamps come in all shapes and sizes and usually have metal bases. You can find ultra modern desk lamps as well as floor lamps. They go very well if you are trying to achieve a very contemporary look in your home.
Designer Lamps
Designer lamps are created by those who specialize in light design for homes. They often bear a design that is signature for the individual designer. If you are looking for something chic and high end, you may want to consider getting designer lamps. They are available for all types of decor.
Tiffany-style Lamps
Tiffany lamps are a classic style that features cut glass of various colors. They can have either a metal or wooden base. Mock Tiffany lamps were in vogue in the 1970s, but today you will see more authenticated lamps in stores that sell lights and supplies. Tiffany lamps are timeless elegance and are perfect for a more traditional home.
Ceramic Lamps
Ceramic lamps are made with a ceramic base and can feature a special design or be very plain. Ceramic lamps have been in style for the past 60 years, although the style of the ceramic has changed throughout the years. Because lamps are so easy to make and really only need a light kit, you can even create your own ceramic base for your lamp.
Floor Lamps
Floor lamps are those that have a base on the floor. They are used in offices as well as homes and can feature both traditional as well as modern decor. Many people prefer floor lamps to desk lamps because they are more versatile as they do not require a table on which to sit.
One way that you can use lamps to create a more cozy atmosphere in your home is to change the lamp shades. Custom lamp shades are not very costly and, with a little creativity, you can even make them yourself.
No matter what type of lamp or shade you choose, make sure that you try to stay consistent with the entire lighting design throughout the house to achieve a more pulled together look.
