The term ‘modern’ covers a whole gamut of styles, from sleek chrome lamps, through crystal chandelier type lamps, to simply, unfussy glass table lamps. All are popular, but all have very different characters. As far as colour choice is concerned, it all depends on what colours you find easy to live with, there’s no point choosing fashionable orange if you absolutely hate it! How about toning the orange down to a russet or similar earthy shade, you’ll probably find it easier to live with, yet still be right on trend. And, talking of staying on trend, modern table lamps can be so reasonably priced that you can afford to update them every couple of years. At the other extreme, however, are designer works of art that really are investment pieces.
Surprisingly enough, in the cheap and cheerful range you can find stunning LED touch table lamps that allow you to change the colour to match your moods; bouquet shaped lamps, each delicate bloom hiding a candle bulb; lamps designed to mimic animals; and pure retro lava lamps. How much choice can you stand!
Even if you’re looking for a desk lamp, you’ll be spoilt for choice, will you go for retro style with an anglepoise, or something far more quirky that could only have been designed in the noughties?
