More about Mid-Century Table Lamps

Have you always admired Mid-Century modern design but never been sure where to start? Or perhaps you love its look but feel your home is a bit overstuffed as is? These Mid-Century table lamps are the perfect entry-point for anyone looking to bring some of its charm into their house with ease.

When we think of Mid-Century modern we think of swooping, sleek lines, functional forms that use bold colors without getting tacky. So these lamps go perfectly with other modernist designs elements: think minimalist clocks, sensual petite brass sculptures (particularly Art Deco inspired ones), moody black-and-white photo prints. All of this together with say a Scandinavian-style desk in cream and light wood makes for an excellent work space, the lamp helping you stay busy burning the midnight oil. Or use the same elements but with a few contrasting pieces: an old-school wrought iron bed frame alongside oriental rugs and throws will give you that cozy bedroom you’ve always wanted, with a worldly feel and plenty of illumination for reading snuggled up.

If you really want to let your creative side go wild try pairing these lamps with a unique light bulb. Old school incandescent style bulbs will help ramp up the vintage vibe, transporting you back to the swanky 60s and throwing a warm golden light around your room. If you’re using these lamps in a dimmer space, say on a shelf in the bathroom, consider a bulb with a little more ‘oomf’: our LED bulbs shine bright without running up the electric meter.
