Crazed on Contemporary Modern Lighting

Crazed on Lamp Shades

Sometimes we just want to relax or simply sit by the couch and think. Sometimes we don’t want to use a lot of light; sometimes all we need is a lampshade. A lampshade has a warm, comforting glow that adds a dramatic effect in our living rooms, bedrooms, or offices. Its light resembles that of a fireplace and so it gives off a homey, classic vibe. In contemporary modern lighting, lamp shades help a lot in creating the mood – and bringing style and elegance to our homes.

Revamping Lamp Shades

 If you have been using a lampshade for years and realized that it can actually look better, revamping is not an impossible task. In fact, it can be very easy and fun! You can change its shade into something more striking, more modern, more YOU. You’d be surprised to see the variety of colors and art design lamp shades can now actually have. From simple to classic, to classic to traditional, contemporary modern lighting can shed off some skin to suit the latest art trend or the latest YOU. So read on and you might see something you like.

Styles to Choose From

Exuding traditional and modern styles, metallic silk shades are a good way to sophisticate your room. This example is the Uttermost Becca Unique Lamp by Uttermost.

But unlike whitewashed fixtures, this contemporary modern lighting is less flexible to complement all kinds of design styles.

This confusing combination is shown in this Illuminating Experiences Le Klint 175 Pendants by Illuminating Experiences.
