It’s happening again – it happens every generation or so. The styles and fashions that we thought we’d seen the last of a decade ago are appearing as the latest thing in chic design and people are going mad for it. In fact, one of interior furnishings mainstays throughout the eras has been the humble lamp and while bench surfaces, chairs, lounges and most other room items have gone through drastic changes, many of the retro era lamps that were created in the 1950s and 60s are popular today.
It's the fun and daring lines and color combinations that gives the retro style tremendous appeal allowing you to let go of your inhibitions and go for it. Floor lamps such as the subdued square drum-shaped lampshade on a ceramic base or the classic Arco floor lamp that is the centrepiece of any modern retro style and will look appropriate in any modern retro room. Many houses during the retro era contained at least one cone lamp with the bendy neck and the unmissable colors, these lamps seem to transcend eras. You can make the retro lamp shade as funky as you like with a choice of trimmings, tassels or prints or a combination of all three.
There is a vast difference in styles of lamps yet still sitting squarely as coming from the retro era. From the traditional drum lamp shades to the more space-age lamps that made use of the newest and modern materials you aren't short of choice. New kinds of plastics and bright ceramics mixed with the shiniest of chrome served as lamp stands underneath some sleek lamp shades to create eclectic elegance.
The interesting fact about using the vintage retro lamps that your parents loved is that the burnt orange lamp shades or the avocado ceramic lamp stand is now cool again because, well because it’s retro. Whether you want a retro table lamp or a retro floor lamp, there is a widening range once again.
