Picture it! Your gorgeous spiral staircase accented with
an exquisite chandelier, or your foyer adorned with a
Tiffany lamp. Fine art lamps not only add the finishing
touches they are an excellent investment.
Whether home is a beautiful 6000 square foot country
estate or a 1000 square foot contemporary condo there's
a place in your life for a fine art lamp. Perhaps more
than one. The European influences from France and Italy
can take a room over the top!
There are many types of fine art lamps to choose from.
Have been around for centuries. From sparkling crystal,
to metal work, to Tiffany there are many different styles
that have evolved over the years. Choose the type of lamps
that will add elegance, class, and beauty to your room.
1. Table Lamps
Are anywhere from 30 inches to 36 inches tall and are
the most popular form of portable lighting. There are
an endless number of styles to choose from but Fine
Art styles such as Tiffany or crystal lamps will compliment
any room.
2. Console Lamps
Are anywhere from 32 inches to 45 inches tall. Because
they are so much taller than table lamp
they are a perfect choice for a room accent or focal
point. The styles are also endless for console lamps
but the art deco, arts & crafts end to dominate. The
fine art styles are definitely a great choice for a
focal point.
3. Floor Lamps
Are from 60 inches to 72 inches tall. They provide task
and ambient lighting that usually diffuses the light
downward. Floor lamps are an important design element
in a room so use it wisely. Tiffany or Tiffany style
shades are truly the perfect finish to any room.
4. Torchieres
Are from 72 inches to 78 inches tall and direct the
light up. They are a great choice for ambient lighting
but are a poor choice for task lighting. Torchieres
can make a room look larger especially if the ceilings
re white and they work very well in dark room corners.
Art glass shades are worth considering!
5. Table Torchieres
The miniature version of the Torchieres providing the
same type of lighting but in a more flexible size. Place
strategically in your room to help tie elements together.
They look fabulous on a mantle.
6. Chandeliers
Are the most traditional type of lighting around. Whether
you choose a multi bulb or candle style. There's an
ambiance that goes with this type of lamp that no other
can create. Perhaps it's beauty by age? Perhaps it's
the level of sophistication? Perhaps it's the depth
of artistic impression? The reason matters not. What
matters is recognizing what a chandelier can do for
your room. And chandeliers don't just belong in the
dining room. Be a little creative!
7. Pendants
These ornamental lamps are suspended from the ceiling
by either a cord or chain. They are truly a work of
art worthy of passing from generation to generation.
Generally the intricate metal work is accented with
a beautiful glass shade. Choose from antique to modern
pendants. Pendant lamps are just waiting to get noticed.
8. Flush Mounts
This type of lamp provides ambient lighting to the room.
Lamps can be singles or multiples. Choose a style that
compliments your room. Your flush mounted lamps are
not the place for focal lighting; instead they should
tie your room together.
9. Sconces
Oohh la la - this is an opportunity to make a statement.
Sconces are very decorative wall mount fixtures that
can be candle or electric. From the simplest lines to
the most extravagant sconce lamps are a great choice
for a focal point.
10. Drop Lights
These trendy lamps are perfect for a bar or kitchen.
They are stylish, attractive, and capture attention
without being overbearing.
Your lighting should play an important role in the home
décor of every room in your home. If you're looking for
style, sophistication, class, and beauty you can't go
wrong with fine art lamps!
