Decorative Table Lamps


Decorative table lamps can be used to provide task, general, and accent lighting. Table lamps are portable, meaning you can move them about with ease, allowing you to easily change the decor of your room with minimal effort. You are not stuck with choosing dull or humdrum table lamps, as lamps are available in a fascinating array of sizes, colors, and styles.
Tiffany lamps are a particularly popular choice. Tiffany shades are made of stained glass that has been rolled by hand; they express colors that are both stunning and elegant when lit. The beauty of Tiffany lamps lies in the fact that no two are exactly alike. The two most common styles of Tiffany lamps today are Victorian and Mission. Victorian-style table lamps typically feature luxurious curves and embellishments, while Mission-style lamps are known for straight lines that form rectangles and squares.

Another popular choice for decorative table lamps are those made of Mica. Mica is a group of minerals that crystallize in such a way that thin leaves are formed. The effect of light shining through Mica is both beautiful and mystical, with colors varying from light brown to green, yellow, or black.
Though Tiffany and Mica lamps enjoy particular popularity, there are many choices when it comes to lamp styles. You can find table lamps made out of everything from wood to wrought iron, in shapes and styles ranging from the subtle and elegant to the grand and ornate. When purchasing table lamps, always remember the most important thing is quality. Quality table lamps last longer, providing both light and beauty for years to come.
