One way to make an effective update is lighting! This functional pieces make a huge impact on how you room looks and feels. It can also be the items we are most reluctant to update. Many clients spend a pretty penny on some wonderful lamps, making it harder to put them away when they are out of date. You may love them, but they just don't fit your room any more. It's like having a wonderful new hairstyle, but keeping your mile high eighties bangs!
Take a look at some of these lamps and see if they inspire you to make a change. We place equivalents to these in homes of every style.
Ceramic Lamps
Classic lamp bases with a drum shade. They come in just about every color and shape, so you can easily find one that suits your taste.

These fun lamps look great in every room from traditional to industrial. We recently placed one in a room with antiques and it blended right in!

Glass, Crystal & Acrylic Lamps
These lamps have been around for a while, but they still look great! Try finding them in a shape you haven't seen before!

The Lexington Crystal Lamp Base, Pottery Barn
Mercury Glass or Metal Lamps
We LOVE mercury glass! These are a wonderful example of beautiful lamp. I also think a metal lamp on a wooden table or dresser can be a very nice contrast.

Another option is to update your lamps with a drum shade. This can often revive a tired lamp. Make sure to get the right size shade!! Measure the bottom of the lamps current shade to get the best size. Here are some nice examples.

As always, I hope this has inspired you to make some changes and keep your home updated! Lamps can be a quick and easy new look!
Until next time!
