Light Up Your Life With Unique Lamps

Adding a lamp or two to a room is not only a practical solution to creating a soft ambience or a flood of light for reading or craft work. Lamps will certainly add some light but why settle for just any old style lamp when you can add a touch of class and style by choosing a truly unique looking lamp.

When my girls were little they each had different interests, one loved horses and the other had more random interests, so I made sure that each had decor to suit their personality and this included lamps unique to each girls taste.

There are so many lovely styles of lamps available with bases made in a variety of materials from the traditinal wood base to the more modern styling in plastic and stainless steel. And of course the same goes for the shades.

When I was a child the shades were hard plastic or some sort of pleated, stiffened fabric and they weren’t particularly appealing. Of course when we went away for the weekend to our holiday hangout we were reduced to using kerosene lamps and candlelight as there wasn’t any electricity available.
In which case the shades were made from toughened glass.
