Modern Table Lamps Look Great and Pull Many Styles Together

Modern table lamps are not what you think they are. We will show you absolutely zero super-skinny, wildly colored, or mega-minimalist modern table lamps on this page.

What we will show you is several lamps that you would not automatically think of as modern...but they are. That's really a good thing for you when decorating your living room. You have more possibilities and more ways to unify styles.

Let's talk about unifying styles some more...

Multiple Styles, Multiple Uses, More Value

Many of the lamps on this page have uses outside of modern living rooms. The lamps on this page can bridge over to traditional, casual, rustic, southwestern and mission living rooms.

For example, the Pummel Table Lamp (above center) from Home Decorators Collection could find its way into a rustic living room given its texture and greenish/bronzy tone.

The Yellow Crackle Ginger Table Lamp, (above left) also from Home Decorators Collection transitions easily into a country atmosphere given its light yellow color and casual style.

The Squiggle Table Lamp, from LampsPlus.com will work in a traditional or casual living room easily because of its curvy design and rich wood composition.

What's great about all these modern table lamps is that they're true to the principles of modern, or contemporary design, but they don't back themselves into such a corner that they won't work in other designs.

Identifying Modern Table Lamps

Here's some dead giveaways when you're not sure if the lamp you're looking at is a modern table lamp.

- Modern table lamps have a freshness to their look. They don't feel grounded in the past.

- These lamps combine materials like chrome brushed steel, ceramics, and microfiber shades.

- Modern Table Lamps rely on simple designs. Minimalist is best.

- These lamps are fun. Intricately carved wood? Nice...but not much fun. A lamp that looks like the skin of an avocado? (see the Pummel above) That's fun.

Here's some more of our favorites...We'll be sure to give you hints on how you can use each one across design styles.

More Modern, More Possibilities
