Modern Table Lamps

Lighting info brought to you by LightingShowroom.com

Table lamps have been around for very long time, but what differentiates a traditional lamp from a modern one? The answer to this is not very simple; however there are a few things that are common to most modern table lamps.

Modern colors

Black and white seems to be the predominant colors of contemporary design. Most modern lamps come with a combination of black and white. And while other colors such as red, yellow and brown are quite common, these colors are usually seen in lamps that have a new and more innovative design.

Contemporary styles

Modern table lamps are table lamps with a difference. These lamps are special in their design and do not conform to traditional ideas of a lamp, which have a spherical base, a thin or normal shaped stand and a conical lampshade. Shades for these lamps can come in many shapes such as cubes, cylinders, cuboid, spherical and rectangular; you can even have ones that are shaped like a cobra or a sphere without any shade. The stand may not be visible at all or be large and angular in undefined yet elegant shapes.

Cost of modern looking lamps

A modern looking lamp need not be expensive. You can get some really nice shapes and designs in the popular black and white themes for prices as low as $60. While the average prices of modern designs are between $150 and $300, you can even get some very unusual and expensive designs for well over $1000. The cost of the lamp depends on the uniqueness of shape, elegance of design, quality and brand name. The general rule being, the more the “wow factor”, the more expensive the lamp usually is.

Attraction of modern table lamps

While the designs may be new and unfamiliar, there is no denying the attractiveness of these lamps. Their straight lines, no nonsense colors schemes and interesting designs make them very attractive accessories for the modern person and their modern homes. Although the styles will keep changing with the years, the inventiveness of man will keep providing us with newer and more attractive lamp designs.
