Using Tiffany Lamps to Make Your Room Cozy and Attractive

Lighting plays a big role when it comes to making your living room look more cozy and attractive, especially at night. If you are in the process of redecorating your living room, consider investing in good quality Tiffany lamps.

Tiffany lamps were originally created by well-known American artist Louis Comfort Tiffany. Tiffany was enraptured by the beauty of stained glass windows, so he set about making stained glass lamps to capture this beauty on a smaller scale. He found the old methods of painting clear glass to create the colored effect were inadequate for his vision. So he developed an innovative technique called the copper foil method to create his masterpieces.

Define Your Style

Before you start hunting for Tiffany glass lamps at your favorite store, you need to define your style. Take a close look at your living room and decide on its overall look. If your taste runs towards more traditional things, you may want to invest in some floor or table Tiffany lamps with classic designs. On the other hand, if your style runs more to modern contemporary designs, you might want to give Tiffany lamps a pass.

Tiffany lamps with classic designs will enhance most decors, so you can’t really go wrong in choosing one or two for your living room. Just make sure that the design, colors and materials don’t contrast with the rest of the furnishings and accessories in the room.

When used correctly, lighting can make your room look bigger that it actually is. If you want to make your living room look more spacious and less cluttered, consider investing in small wall mounted or ceiling mounted Tiffany lamps. You may also want to invest in more subdued lights to give your room a softer tone, especially at night.

Know Your Budget

In this time of economic downturn, you can’t afford to spend your money on just anything. Before you embark on the task of redecorating your living room, you need to set a budget. List all the things that you need to buy and then determine how much money you can afford to spend. Yes, those expensive Tiffany lamps will definitely look great in your living room, but if you can’t afford them, don’t buy them.
