Advice on How to Buy a Tiffany Style Lamp
The Tiffany lamp is considered to be a ‘must-have’ item for lots of dedicated interior designers. Its beauty is unprecedented and its stained glass features are highly sought after. These days, genuine Tiffany lamps are extremely difficult to find. They are real rarities, so they command huge prices. The good news, however, is that there are lots of top-quality imitation pieces, available at a fraction of these costs.
If you are interested in buying a gorgeous Tiffany-style lamp, like the ones in the Interiors 1900 collection, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. The first is size because shopping for a table lamp is a little bit different to looking for a full-sized stand-up light. It is also a good idea to pick a fixture which is relatively easy to clean. This will help maximise its lifespan and make sure that it always looks beautiful.
This guide to shopping for the perfect Tiffany-style lamp will help you know what to look out for and which features to identify.
The Benefits of Buying Imitation
As already mentioned, genuine Tiffany lamps are not only hard to find, they are very expensive. This is why most fans of the style buy high-quality imitation pieces, inspired by the original Tiffany products. They are a great way to enjoy all of the glamour and sophistication of the style, without having to break the bank to do it.
If you are going to buy an imitation, make sure that you pick a lamp or a pendant from a reputable retailer. For example, check out this remarkably pretty Lelani Wall Light, from the Interiors 1900 collection. The stained glass is very attractive, with vivid red and green tones. It is guaranteed to brighten up any room in your home.
Highlight Your Accent Colours
If you are not sure where to start or which Tiffany-style lamps will work in your living room or bedroom, take a closer look at the stained glass shades. A good rule of thumb, particularly for successful interior decorating, is to highlight one or several accent colours.
So, while you don’t necessarily have to match your shade tone to the colour of the room, it will hold the space together if you include a few matching colours. For instance, if your furniture is blue, pick a Tiffany-style shade with some blue tones in the glass.
Pick the Right Sized Fixture
If you are buying a table lamp, it is simply no good to opt for Tiffany style and then hide it away in the corner. You don’t want your fixture to be oversized and in the way, but you do want it to become a statement piece and a real feature of the room. This Diana Table Lamp, from the Interiors 1900 collection, is ideal for a small lounge or study.
The exquisite stained glass shade is set atop a gorgeous curved stand. Together, they create a rich, warm piece of interior design. When illuminated, this table lamp offers plenty of light, but the delicate tones in the shade make sure that it is never too bright or glaring. For true style and elegance, there is nothing quite like a Tiffany-style light fixture.
