“Silver and gold, silver and gold…” are the lyrics to a classic Christmas song but not just to be hummed about during the holidays. Silver and gold are timeless metallic sheens on lamps that add polish and glamour to any bedside table or nightstand.
Patterned or textured fabric, soothing or bold paint - both add style to a bedroom space, but metallic lamps in brass, nickel, gold leaf, or mercury glass will add that finishing touch. Introduce a silver or gold table lamp to your bedroom space, one you’ll admire every day and appreciate each evening when you finally turn out the light.
Silver and gold table lamps dress up any bedside.
Gold Table Lamps
The same faceted Ripley Gold Lamp featured in the bedroom above is available at Lamps Plus. I recently bought the same for my own bedroom project! It’s chic geometric shape and gold finish are very on-trend.
Introduce a Greek key motif with the Philadelphia Gold Leaf Lamp, or another historic shape with the Possini Obelisk Lamp. The gilded beauty of the Gold Lattice Cylinder Lamp is enhanced by the diagonal geometric pattern in ivory. Add golden beauty to a bedside with the matte sheen on the Uttermost Brushed Brass Lamp or perhaps a brighter glow with the Gold Rodeo Drive Table Lamp.
Polished nickel, steel, and chrome metals are aesthetically cooler than the warmer look of brass or gold leaf. But what those metals lack in warmth they make up for with their sophisticated reflective finish, one that will enhance bedroom spaces from cottage to cosmopolitan. Silver table lamps are an elegant addition to any bedroom design.
Silver table lamps beautifully reflect the room's decor.
Silver Table Lamps
Achieve the same elegant look above with the Possini Slim Gourd Table Lamp. Either the Silver Leaf Hammered Cylinder Lamp or the Stiffle Antique Nickel Urn Lamp will add a classic geometric shape to your beside table. As an alternative to a lamp, consider a wall mounted sconce like the Possini Reading Swing Arm Wall Light or the Euro Design Circles Plug In Lamp. The Gooseneck Desk Lamp also makes a great reading light and saves energy too!
Mercury glass table lamps add alluring shimmer and shine to a bedside chest. Mercury glass or mirrored finishes are glamorous in any season, and act as a focal point as they reflect light throughout the room.
Elegant bedroom design with a mercury bedside lamp.
Mercury Glass Table Lamps
A wider jug shape of the Arteriors Mercury Glass Table Lamp makes a statement on any larger scale nightstand. Add a trio of shapes with either the Illusion Mirrored Glass Modern Table Lamp or the Triple Gourd Table Lamp. Shimmer and shine are not be ignored in the design of the Robert Abbey Wavy Lamp, the Cardinal Table Lamp, and the Bartlett Table Lamp.
Whatever sheen you prefer, be it silver, gold, or mercury glass, sophisticated elegance is guaranteed with any of these lovely bedside lamps!
