After the start of the year there is always the desire to give our homes a sprucing up or a reinvention of our tired interior decor into a home that is welcoming and feels refreshed.
Whether you decide to bring in new textiles to adorn your couch or you add a new accent colored wall, there is nothing that provides more impact than modern lamps for illuminating your space.
The biggest challenge is determining what lamp will fit your design style and room the best! Here are some inspiring tips for using modern lamps from large to small as a way to reinvent your tired interiors and breathe new life into corners you forgot about.
Consider clean lines when choosing modern lighting:
The beauty of contemporary lamp fixtures is that they come in a variety of colors, heights, profiles and decorative finishes to match any design style.
When choosing the right modern lamp, turn to linear profiles that feature minimal ornamentation and embody a modernist feel. Whether you enjoy a minimalist feel with a strict geometrical aesthetic or you enjoy a slight curve in your lamp – play up the design in your interiors.
Choose desk and table decor, chairs and furnishings to mimic the same characteristics. The Teardrop 21" High Brushed Steel Table Lamp is a gorgeous example from Lamps Plus.
Modern lamps with a hint of retro styling:
Let’s face it, many modern lamps have glimpses of retro styling but they have reinvented themselves with modern appeal. For example a retro styled bedside table lamp with a modern fresh green color is a great way to still bring a contemporary edge to your bedside table like this one from Niche Interiors.
Another hint when choosing modern lamps is to go for a lampshade that commands a presence. In these last few years we’ve been seeing great geometric patterns, wide, tall and drum lampshades that are nods from the 60’s and 70’s when lamp shades made a statement in the home.
Take advantage of modern lamps that are artwork too:
It’s amazing how modern lamps can create a focal point within your room and create movement around a lighting fixture. If you love floor lamps why not add a striking one beside your favorite couch or armchair.
Contemporary floor lamps are great because they can fit virtually anywhere and can double as artwork and decoration, all at the same time. This M.A.P. Interiors floor lamp captures your eye immediately. Doesn't it command your attention?
This season as you are wondering how to transform your interiors, why not look to a modern lamp? Whether you choose a minimalist or contemporary design or you decide to have a retro lamp , there’s a modern lamp waiting for your interiors!
Try some of these ideas and you may find yourself switching out more than just one lamp in your cozy abode.
