Here at 1STOPLighting, we have a large selection of colorful table lamps for designs that need accents of color in contemporary, traditional, or transitional spaces. Use colorful table lamps to dress up your contemporary space or add interest to a room. Many homeowners and designers typically use a splash of color on a focal wall, with accent rugs or with throw pillows. Instead of adding color the conventional way, try looking at your table lamps in the space instead! Purchasing table lamps with simple design and playful hues are a great way to add accents of color without fully committing to larger pieces in your space.

Pattern shades are a great choice for those plain looking bases. Bright solid colored lamp shades is definitely another way to add colorful lighting to your existing table lamps as well.
To help with choosing through a variety of colorful table lamps, we went to the experts for additional input! See below for more details, tips, and advice on creating that perfect colorful lighting in your space.
Executive Director, Leatrice Eiseman states, “Honeysuckle is a hotter shade of pink. It’s attention-getting and it gets the adrenaline going. It’s related to red, so there’s a very visceral reaction there.” Though Honeysuckle might be a bright color for some, Eiseman says “Honeysuckle works well with a host of hues, including complementary colors on the opposite side of the color wheel, particularly blue-greens and navy, as well as neutrals such as blacks, browns and grays.” For some folks, Honeysuckle might be too strong of a tone, but it’s a color that works with many hues and that’s what you should strive for. So we suggest that a colorful table lamp be simple in form and have a pop of color that will work with your new or existing décor.
See what Jeff Dross, Corporate Director of Education and Industry Trends at Kichler Lighting, says about Progressive design below.
Like fashion, it’s fun to follow trends, but “try not to choose a fixture that is too trendy in style or color because the style will fade as years go. Progressive design is key!” (Jeff Dross). Colorful Table lamps that are progressive in design tend to be useful in other spaces especially with shared spaces in the home. Finding a good balance of color and design, when it comes to choosing the “right” table lamp will be the most helpful to you.
