When planning the new design for our dining room one of the unexpected revelations that shone through was the impact that lamps can have on a room. A modern retro style was the sort of thing we were aiming for and decided that a couple of retro table lamps would set the entire room off. It was going to be just a simple accessorising solution until we understood the options available to us.
One option we had was to start with a plain ceramic retro table lamp design that would sit at either end of the sideboard. The process of searching threw up a large variety of lamp stands with endless detail work or lovely paintwork, or both, to choose from. We then altered our preference for matching table lamps to unmatching pieces preferring the imbalance it created as well as the chance to buy two pieces.
We also discovered Tiffany table lamps and that gave us the whole stained glass retro table lamps to choose from. The stained glass table lamps definitely made a statement in the room but we felt that they were somewhat overwhelming for a small dining room.
Gourd table lamps, teak retro table lamps for sale and even space age innovative chrome table lamps are all options that can be considered for this type of room.
The consistent factor with each type of retro lamp remains that the entire mood of the room changes depending on the sort of retro lamp that is on display. The type of lamp shade and the strength of light it allows helps create the atmosphere. Choosing a suitable retro table lamp is a part of the process that must be taken seriously.
