Trend to Try: Monochromatic Lamps Are a Bright Idea

Monochromatic rooms are a big trend right now, and we get it. Saturating a space in color is a bold statement and allows maximalists and color-lovers to go all-in on their go-to hue.

For those who want to dip their toes into the trend, behold: lamps! Designers have always used lighting to totally change the look and vibe of a room, but now, the lamps themselves are stepping into that spotlight. These bold lights a boasting base-to-finial flair and rocking one color throughout to create a functional pop of color that can easily fit in any room.

Kasa Table Lamp

Both the cool mod shade and base are made of powder-coated metal and drenched in a vivid cherry red. This lamp would look right at home in a kids room, but you can add it to a living room or den for a youthful pop of color.

Fabric Table Lamp

This fab find adds texture, color, and light all in one item. Navy linen coats both the base and the 20" shade, which allows the lamp to emit super soft and subtle light through the fibers. A dimmer switch and Amazon Echo and Google Assistant compatibility make it a nightstand no-brainer.

Filter Table Lamp

Lamp or tabletop sculpture? Both! The shade is made of perforated metal so it gives off a soft diffused light through the little openings. This soft green shade is nice and calming, but it also comes in blue, yellow, red, and white.

Ava Table Lamp

This sleek iron design modernizes and brightens a space with the flip of a switch (on/off). At over 15"-tall, it's definitely a statement lamp, but the small base (just 6" x 6") makes it ideal to squeeze into small spaces and packed counters.

Flowerpot Table Lamp

This Verner Panton lamp is everywhere right now, and we get it! It's made of recycled materials, it comes in 14 cool colors, and it has a chargeable battery that last up to 11 hours at a time. Best of all? No ugly cord to hide!

Scrunch Table Lamp

The name here is totally appropriate, this lamp is scrunchy! It's made using printed cotton fabric which has been gathered and pleated on both the base and shade to give it an 80's vibe that will fit right in with a maximalist space.

Sidnie Lamp

Bobby Berk put this 70's-inspired mushroom lamp in the living room of this year's Real Simple Home! It stood out as a soft pop of color among then neutral side tables and white boucle sofa. If you're not a green person, it also comes in 18 other shades.

Ingrid Table Lamp

This is another stunner chosen for the Real Simple Home, this time by designer Megan Hopp who created the vibrate and maximalist guest bedroom. The bright blue is stunning, but just as eye-catching is the matte texture courtesy of it's resin and metal frame with a textured gesso finish. The linen drum shade gives it a more traditional vibe.
