Beautiful Art Deco Table Lamps
Art Deco is a decorating style which was very popular in the early to mid part of the twentieth century, most notably so between 1925 to around the beginning of the second world war in 1939.
The style originated in America and became symbolic of the incredible growth and evolution which was occurring throughout affluent America becoming a growing sensation and global influence. Art Deco celebrated everything about the modern world. Automobiles and new technology. Expansion in all areas, industrialization, growth and wealth. It was and is a style that is not afraid to make bold statements and appear monumental. Its style is very distinctive and recognisable. Most people will have come in contact with the decorating style from cinema and movies from and about that exiting period of time.
It used expensive materials such as gold, marble and brass to show off the wealth and pride of a new strong America. Made famous by metropolis New York and stylish laid back Miami in its time, it has continued to evolve over the years and is still a popular decorating style for all who want to add some stylish elements to their interior decorating.
Art Deco is a style that is easy to implement into your home. Firstly, compared to other significant styles, there are no strict rules or guidelines to what belongs and what does not. Furthermore Art Deco has inspired many later designers, so there is ample opportunity to find newer furniture designs which will fit in well with the style, without costing you as much as antiques.
The goal to aim for is, that stylish, sleek 1930′s Hollywood ambiance, have a look at some films from that time for inspiration or newer re-enactments. Don’t be afraid to borrow from other ancient periods, such as Egyptian icons and statuettes. In fact these were very popular in the time.
The main colour palette used can either be the black, velvet, red and gold New York style, or the lighter and more upbeat Miami style with pastel colours.
Furniture should be covered with velvet furnishing and muted reddish colours. Other than that go for simple lines and looks.
Unique amps are a characteristic part of the style and is one of the easiest ways to implement Art Deco in your home without going overboard. Lamps from this period are recognisable by being very creatively designed and different in style from other periods of interior design.
Some common denominators are brass or metal footing, or sometimes dark wood with shiny finishing. Look for polished and stylish metal finishes. Art Deco lamps come in many different designs and lamp shades are often imaginatively inspired from sea shells to huge domes or globes. In fact there are so many different models that it would be impossible to list here!
Art Deco lamps are widely available as floor, wall and table lamps. Reproductions are affordable, with genuine Art Deco lamps made by the designers of the time command the usual higher price! Keep your eyes peeled at boot fairs and in junk shops there are some wonderful Art Deco pieces to be found!
