Modern Table Lamps

Modern-Style Lamps

A modern table lamp lifts your room into the future with sleek designs, angular profiles, flat surfaces and modern materials. A modern table lamp in particular may feature a more minimalist design, with smooth lines and shiny surfaces.

In modern table lamp designs you wont see ornate details, old-fashioned looking shapes or outdated stodgy shapes. Instead you'll be greeted with a clean style, a fresh uncomplicated look, and plenty of snazz.

Modern table lamps are much more future-proof than classic designs, and age slower and will still seem fresh and sophisticated as your living space evolves.

Modern Table Lamp Placement

Positioning a modern table lamp is important to get the most out of the light. Place a modern lamp on a side table, nightstand, bedside table, chairside end table, or in the corners of a room. Modern table lamps are also designed to fit well onto a reasonable-sized piece of furniture like a desk or dresser.

With a pair of contemporary table lamps, one either side of the couch, or either side of a larger bed, you can balance the lighting and also give a lighting option to people at either side of the furniture..

Contemporary Materials

Futuristic and modern lamps will use much more up-to-date materials. Although you might see some throwbacks to wood elements, you'll mostly see shiny metallic surfaces and clean white finishes. Silvers and brushed nickel, chrome and steel are popular for modern lamp styles.

You'll also notice that most modern lamps are more angular in their shapes, les curvy, more geometric and rectangular. These simple shapes and profile help to give a sense of the simple, clean, modern look, rather than some kind of hand-crafted ornate design.
