Home Lamps For Different Home Décor Styles

Posted on 22 September 2009

Home Lamps: Irrespective of the style of your decor, whether it is sleek or rustic; contemporary or traditional; shabby chic or tropical; the right choice of home lamps can help draw all the elements together to create the perfect look.

Tropical Table Lamps
Tropical home décor is colorful, cheerful and warm. Bamboo lamps, palm tree lamps,  parrot lamps, wood lamps, rattan lamps, woven lamps, and abalone lamps all exude charm as well as a tropical atmosphere.  Ceramic or Porcelain lamps also work well when you want to add some color.  However, some restraint is required to keep the decor from looking too campy or kitsch.

Rustic Table Lamps
Natural materials and rough textures are the mainstay of rustic home décor. When looking for rustic home lamps, look for lamps made of rattan, cane, wicker, twigs, or woven abaca. If you prefer to the metallic look, instead of sleek, shiny metal, choose rustic lamps in textured metal such as brushed nickel or hammered brass.  Lampshades in raw silk and jute form the perfect compliment for rustic lamps.
.

Modern Lamp
Straight, uncluttered lines in stark colors form the core of modern, contemporary home décor and characterise the look of  modern lamps. Lamps that are textured and those that look rustic and colorful might be completely out of place here.  Look for modern table lamps in black, white, or strong colors or  lamps made of various metals such brushed nickel or smooth chrome.
.

Traditional Lamps
Intricately carved wrought iron lamps, highly polished brass lamps or lamps featuring damask design would be right at home in any traditional home. Traditional décor loosely refers a style that was developed prior to the industrial revolution that expresses a classical European or Oriental aesthetic. Traditional table lamps and lampshades embrace ornamentation and fine craftsmanship. .

Themed  Lamps
Themed home lamps add a finishing touch to your themed home décor. What’s more themed lamps for the home are not at all difficult to find. No matter what your theme,  whether it’s about the Southwest, Golfing, or Hunting, you are sure to find something that will fit right in. A lamp featuring golf clubs for the base would be perfect in a room filled with golfing trophies and other golfing memorabilia while a table lamp featuring hunting dogs or other hunt scenes would be just right for a hunting enthusiast’s room.

Summary
Time spent looking for the right lighting for your home décor choice is time well spent.   The right choice of home lamps can enhance the décor and tie in all the elements whereas the same lamp, no matter how beautiful it looks, can end up looking painfully out of place when set in a clashing home décor environment.
