Classic & Traditional Table Lamps

Traditional Table Lamps

If considering a change to the décor or feeling like demonstrating a throwback to a different era, look into getting traditional lamps to add a vintage look to the home. Traditional table lamps in particular can subtly shape the décor of the room with a welcoming presence and a warm accent layer of light that complements well with the rest of the room. This type of lighting focuses on displaying a throwback to older eras, sometimes Victorian, although other time periods are presented as well. Victorian era with its complex and regal silhouettes, and industrial style with exposed bulbs and simple geometry are often used in traditional pieces. Like other fixtures, these pieces bring a new layer of light to the room. Table lamps can be ideal for accenting the layers of light already present, forming a full and even balance of light, or they can be used as welcoming task lamps for a hobby or task nearby.

Other Considerations

If traditional table lamps are working well for the room, consider applying the same style to the other homes of the room to establish cohesion and flow. Traditional chandeliers and traditional wall sconces will command a presence and continue to accent the room, respectively. The elaborate designs of the chandeliers will catch the eye and uplift the mood, while sconces can be placed outside to welcome family and friends to the home while demonstrating the style they will see once inside. Sconces can also illuminate a dark hallway or flank a fireplace or display to complete the look of the room.

For outdoor applications, the location rating is imperative. If the piece has a wet or damp rating determines where it can be used outside and if it can be directly exposed to water. A wet rating lets the piece come into contact with water, while a damp rating means it can only be in the same vicinity of water. When the chandeliers and sconces have been correctly placed in the home, expand to the kitchen with vintage kitchen lighting. The vintage look of a kitchen will take guests and friends back in time, creating a fun and nostalgic environment.
