Creating Designer Looks With Lamps
A well-chosen table or floor lamp will instantly elevate a room and add a personal, welcoming touch. They play an important part of every interior design and are one of my secret ingredients to expertly finishing interiors. So let's dive into the world of lamps and discover how to select the right ones for your home.
Lamps are often overlooked when it comes to styling your home, but they’re actually one of the easiest and most effective ways to add some personality, as well as offering function.
You can have the most beautiful sofa, rug, and furniture, but without the right lighting to show them in their best, well, light…. your space will still feel incomplete. Floor and table lamps are the perfect way to add that final layer of ambience and create a home that truly feels like ‘you’.
A considered lighting selection adds structural a designer element that feels effortless. Consider incorporating soft, diffused lighting into bedrooms to create a cocooning and cosy atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a long day. In the living room, let welcoming diffused light from stylish table and floor lamps envelop you and your guests in a welcoming, friendly embrace. For a touch of drama as well as added functionality, consider elegant, arched floor lamps over the sofa. These lamps not only add a striking look but also provide essential task lighting for reading or cosying up with a good book.
Think too about shape and texture…
Are you someone who loves the sculptural, tailored, and refined style, or do you prefer the organic and textured look? Whichever you choose, remember that the desig style you are looking to achieve should also be reflected in your lighting selections.
Let your style shine by adding a slender up-lamp next to your favorite piece of art, to cast shadows that highlight its beauty. Alternatively, make a big, bold statement with a table lamp that demands attention and screams, "Look at me!"
There’s thousands to choose from, but I’ve narrowed it down to share with you a few that reflect my individual design style - what do you think?
Remember that well chosen lamps add to the personality and ambience of your home. It's all about creating a beautiful, functional and welcoming space that reflects your individuality.
So, let your creativity run free, embrace the power of light, and add that designer-finish to your home that you've always dreamed of!
