Lighting plays such an integral role in our homes. Not just bringing practical benefits, but aesthetic and ambient advantages too. The lighting you choose can make a real difference to the way that your home looks and feels. Especially when it comes to lighting extras, such as floor lamps and table lamps. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Nordlux to talk you through what we predict will be the leading lights in 2023 home styling.
Nordlux’s Top Five Trends in Table and Floor Lamps for 2023
Dark smoked glass
Widely regarded as a throwback from the ‘70s, smoked glass has been making a quiet comeback for the last few years. But as we move into 2023, dark smoked glass is going to be bigger and bolder than ever. A floor lamp, like the Nordlux Magia, with its black smoked glass shade provides a striking contrast against white and cream for a cool monochrome effect. Or against wood and natural shades for a warmer feel. If the black glass is just too stark a contrast for you, the grey smoke of the Christina table lamp provides an appealing alternative.
Portable table lamps
The modern home is all about convenience. And there’s nothing more convenient than lighting that goes wherever you need it. Partly driven by the threat of power cuts and partly by the pure usefulness of the solution, portable table lamps are the must-have home accessory for 2023. Coming in a whole range of shapes and sizes, from the traditionally styled Kichler lantern to the contemporary Kettle, many of these lamps are suitable for indoors and out. Providing maximum versatility.
Lighting as art
Why just have lights, when you can have lights that look like a piece of modern art? As homes become smaller, more and more people are looking for products that serve more than one purpose. So, aesthetics are becoming increasingly important. With a table lamp like the Alton, Cache, or Mademoiselle, you have an amazing, functional light source that’s completely fit for purpose. But you also have a lamp that doesn’t immediately tell you what it is. Bringing a new dimension to the equation.
Delightful domes
Curves are back for 2023, and the bigger the better. Making lights like the Nordlux Cera floor lamp and Ellen table lamp an irresistible addition to anyone’s décor. It doesn’t matter about the colour – although brass is also still big. The important thing is to seek out those captivating arcs, curves, bends, bows, and domes. And welcome them to your abode.
Metallic finish
There has been an emphasis on the practical in recent months. And metal is such a practical material. Incredibly easy to clean, with an appealing lustre, metallic surfaces are ticking multiple boxes. And so are floor lamps like the Contina, with its lovely brass stand completed with a single delicate orb light. Or the Ray, which takes chrome to a whole new level.
Lighting styles come and go. But a well-chosen floor or table lamp should be an asset to your home for years. So, don’t rush your decision. Take your time to choose a design that suits your needs and your taste, and you won’t go far wrong.
