My Favorite Ceramic Lamps

Ceramic Lamps.002

 

Shopping for lamps has become a whole lot easier since stores like HomeGoods now sell affordable and stylish table and floor lamps.  While most of the lamps they sell are reasonably priced, I recently spotted a collection of Ralph Lauren table lamps at my local HomeGoods store selling for $499.  They were gorgeous but definitely not something I expected to see in their store.

If you’re shopping for a single accent lamp versus a pair, you’ll have better luck at the big box stores since many times their assortments are picked over.  When I need quality table lamps and want to ensure I’ll find what I’m looking for, I have several sources I turn to.

One of my go-to sources is Lamps Plus.  Not only do they have a great selection of styles but they have free shipping and returns on most of their table lamps.  When shopping Lamps Plus, you’ll find a wide range of price points, styles and colors to choose from which makes finding your style pretty easy.  One thing to note is that many of their basic lamp styles are only sold in pairs which can be good or bad but usually their ‘pairs’ offer a great value.

Another source I shop is Home Decorators.  I loved it when they had a store here in Atlanta but shopping from their website is the next best thing.  They carry a variety of styles and their prices are good too.

Here’s a round-up of my favorite ceramic table lamps…

 

Ceramic Lamps.001

♦  I recently used this lamp in a design plan for a master bedroom and the clients loved the look, scale and detail.  It’s a great lamp for a dresser and would also work great on a desk.  Barbara Cosgrove Mid-Century Ceramic Lamp  $129.99

♦  The Adrian Fluted Gourd Lamp  {$79.95} is a great style for master bedroom night stands, a foyer table or side tables in a living/family room.   The lines are a bit more feminine and the acrylic base gives it a slightly more modern edge.

♦  When it comes to classic gourd lamps, the Robert Abbey Emerald Triple Gourd Lamp  is one of the best.  It’s a bit more expensive at $299.00 but the design and style make is a classic piece that will last for years.  And it’s available in multiple colors.

♦  You all know I love a blue and white lamp and the Amber Table Lamp is a favorite because of the blue and white design but also because of the antique gold accents.  This scale is smaller so this lamp is best suited for a desk, vanity top or bar area.   $91.00  { Alert–I just spotted a similar lamp at SteinMart which after the additional sale discount was $34}

♦  This classic Set of 2 Lillian Table Lamps  is a good value at $248.00 for the set and in addition to the blue and white, it comes in red, black, orange and grey.  This table lamp is ideal for side tables, a console table or night stands.

♦  I’m all about a chunky ceramic table lamp and love the silhouette of the Paris Ceramic Lamp This style is available in 5 softer colors which make it great for a nursery, home office or bedroom.  $143.00

♦  Diamond shaped lamps are popular right now partly because of the mid-century and retro decor trend that you’re seeing everywhere.  This is a great lamp style for a desk, console table or foyer table.   Robert Abbey Delta Brown Tea Ceramic Lamp $211.60 {available in 15 colors}

♦  If you’re looking for a pretty silhouette, then you’ll like the Wells Table Lamp.  This lamp is available in a pale blue and soft pink so you know it perfect for a nursery or even a guest bedroom if you want a spa like feel. $195.00

♦  Here’s another classic gourd lamp.  Sold as a set of 2, the  Pamela Triple Gourd Lamp comes in 5 deep, rich colors including marine blue, Chinese red and fern green. $239.00

If you’re looking for brass lamps, Lamps Plus does carry a selection but I’ve found my best source to be flea markets and antique stores. You can also find lots of vintage lamps on Etsy.

In a couple of weeks I’ll share my favorite floor lamps with you so stay tuned.
