Contemporary Lighting

Contemporary lighting is ideal for the home, the study or the office.

Lighting should make a statement about you and the room you are decorating. Contemporary lighting is equally fitting for modern or old homes.But with so many types and styles, how do you find the perfect lighting for each room of your home?

Do you want a floor or table lamp, or both?

Where do you need lighting, what do you use the room for?

When choosing a table lamp, the base and the shade need to be in proportion to each other and to the rest of the furniture in the room. The shade should be at eye level when you are seated, the bulb should not be visible. A floor standing lamp usually provides adjustable light and takes up very little floor space.

What kind of lampshade is needed? You can often pick your own shade and base combination, giving the flexibility to complement your decorating colour scheme. A shade can make or break the appearance of a lamp. When choosing a shade it should never dwarf the lamp. Shades are available in many shapes, colours, textures and sizes. A transparent shade provides the maximum amount of light to a room. An opaque shade will focus light downward.

To make rooms interesting, vary the height of the lamps throughout the room. These differing heights add depth and interest by creating separate areas of light and shade.
