VERSATILITY OF PORCELAIN TABLE LAMP

There’s a good reason porcelain lamps are among the most popular choices—the material is extremely versatile and comes in an expansive range of styles. Homeowners can find a porcelain lamp to fit any space in the house, most commonly the living room, dining room, and bedroom. Table lamps are particularly abundant in porcelain.

The material originated in China hundreds of years ago. When porcelain objects spread to Europe, the Chinese closely guarded the composition of the material. Their techniques were eventually discovered, and today these lamps and other decor objects are manufactured all over the world. In English-speaking countries, the word “china” is still synonymous with porcelain tableware.

COLORFUL FOCAL POINTS IN A CASUAL LIVING ROOM

Porcelain lamps typically appear solid, opaque, and smooth. Because porcelain is so durable, it’s easy to render in large forms and mold into strong, curved shapes. It holds color well and often provides a vivid pop to a room. The addition of an elegant embellishment or the use of a soft form can take porcelain lamps in a delicate direction.

Many associate porcelain lamps with the traditional blue-and-white designs that instantly convey Chinese flavor. But today, these lamps are available in a vast array of shapes, hues, and proportions. A simple or graphic shape in a solid color is the perfect accent for modern Asian interiors, putting a contemporary spin on this timeless material.

PORCELAIN LAMPS FOR THE LIVING ROOM

Just as the recipe for making porcelain was prized centuries ago, the perfect porcelain lamp becomes a treasure to its owner.

These pieces can serve as a focal point in a contemporary living room or as a subtle complement to a traditional bedroom. Choose a playful shape in vivid color to add a fresh twist, or opt for a compact shape in a neutral color to keep the feeling more sophisticated.

Porcelain lamps needn’t be used in pairs. Any room can make perfect use of a single transitional Porcelain lamp.
