REFLECTING THE TASTE AND MOOD OF CURRENT TRENDS

 

LIGHTING IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES!

Accent table lamps that light your home are all about layering your lighting. It's all about keeping the 'big light' firmly off, reserved only for more functional tasks like cleaning, whereas accent lighting is about encouraging a calming atmosphere. Not to mention how conserving energy is good for the environment.

MUSHROOM LAMPS

Mushroom lamps are all the rage.

This style lamp brings a retro feel to your bedside table, desk, or bookshelf that needs a little love. Emitting a soft glow with a bulbous shape makes this easy to spot an otherwise dull spot.

GLOBE TABLE LAMPS

Frosted globe lights are the ultimate in transitional style. Hitting the sweet spot between mid-century and contemporary. These will look elegant in any type of home you have.

TINY TASK LAMP

Desks come in any shape and size now, and our lamps need to match, so these smaller designs are perfect for any desk, even if it is a modest console table worked into a working-from-home destination.  Research does suggest that poor lighting can fatigue our eyes, dull our alertness and negatively impact our mood…YIKES!

WHY ARE MINI TABLE LAMPS TRENDING? 

Homeowners (with the help of their stagers and Realtors) are recognizing the aesthetic merits of lighting a room with more than one light source. Layering your lighting is an important part of your interiors, and the way light enters and bounces around the room is accepted and is as important to your interiors as your choice of paint. In fact, they complement one another.

So we're embracing the opportunity to add more pocket lamps and mini light sources to every room in the home. Perfect in bedrooms and living rooms.

First, we can't ignore how mushroom lamps are dominating the lighting scene at the moment.  Evolving from our love of mid-century.

Helpful additions to any niche, they appeal to the trend for curves and are super tactile, with that coveted vintage look.

Smaller lamp bases with pretty pleated lampshades are also having their moment in the spotlight. And can be used in a variety of ways- not only at the bedside.  They can look sharp and modern in the right setting.

I'm also really into the soft glow and tactile shape of globe lights that I've spotted cropping up around the home, aligning with a move toward a holistic approach to interiors...your private haven!

Hoping you are getting excited about the many different options you have to light up your home!  If you need extra help- Call me!  Ideas abound!
