01 Mar Home design: 5 ways to incorporate antiques into your modern home
Meshing antique with modern
Tiffany style lamps. They’re unique and classy. Perhaps you were gifted one, inherited one, or just have a thing for beautiful antique home décor. Either way, we have 5 ideas on how you can incorporate the touch of antique that tiffany lamps offer into your modern home. 5 ideas, 5 different rooms. Let’s add some flavor into modern design!
1. THE EATS.
The kitchen and dining rooms are sublime areas for placing tiffany lamps. In these areas, we suggest using tiffany hanging lamps and ceiling lamps. They’re perfect for over the island countertop–perhaps one colorful one making for a room centerpiece or three hanging lamps to make the room warm and fun. Another idea is to hang one over the kitchen table to light fun family meals. This works just as great for the dining room–they are the perfect centerpieces for the entire room. Depending on your taste, you can choose from colorful, attention-grabbing styles to more calming, neutral styles. Any which way, tiffany lamps are a perfect way to add fun into your kitchen or dining room–or both!
2. THE MANCAVE.
Ah, the mancave. The man of the house’s refuge from the cares of work and responsibilities. This, this is the perfect place for tiffany lamps. Dark hardwood vibes, big-screen TVs, a pool table, a bar/snack area–the room calls for a tiffany lamp. Over the pool table and over the bar area are winning spots. These are prime for hanging lamps. If you don’t have a mancave in the home, the lamps work just as perfectly in the basement, movie room, or game room. They add to all the fun! Take a minute to look at the DIY Network’s mancave makeovers and views of incredible mancaves.
3. THE LIBRARY|OFFICE
If you have a space in your home dedicated to being a library or even office, check out our floor and reading lamps page. Picture this: a reading lamp right in your favorite reading spot corner in your home library. Bliss. Have a home office? We got you. Whether your office is the classic dark wood style or a modern, contemporary style, a tiffany floor lamp is the finishing touch. Feeling like you want a more eclectic touch into your modern room? Try a torchiere lamp.
4. THE BEDROOM(S).
Whether it’s the master suite or your daughter’s princess-themed bedroom, a tiffany lamp fits it all. In a modern-style bedroom, add in a torchiere lamp to glam up your bed area. Do you read in bed? Go for a reading lamp. Pick your favorite. Do you have a desk in your bedroom? Check out our table lamps page. Take your pick from neutral styles to more unique, colorful lamps. Need a finishing touch in your child’s room? Try a novelty accent lamp. Turtles, a butterfly–they can even take their pick.
5. THE FOYER.
The first steps into a home is when the first impression takes place. If your ceiling is high enough, go for a hanging lamp. If you’re feeling like you want just a touch of eclectic or antique in the entrance of your modern home, go for a ceiling lamp. Not too big, not too dramatic (depending on your style), but they add a wonder of difference.
Whether you want a flavorful accent to your modern home decor or a neutral finishing touch, a tiffany style lamp is the perfect choice. Take your pick!
