Contemporary Chrome Finish Lights Line by Zaneen Lighting

The Duchess of Windsor, Wallis Simpson is credited for saying, “You can never be too rich or too thin.” She was an American socialite who stole the heart of Prince Edward. We know her quote to be untrue. However, when you view the Line collection by Zaneen Lighting, I bet you are thinking it looks sleek and expensive. The chrome of the suspension lights and floor lamps remind me of silver satin and the silver screen. I think of Gwen Stefani dressed in Old Hollywood glamour playing platinum blonde Jean Harlow in The Aviator.

If the Line collection were a human family, I’d describe them as stylish, urbane but aloof. Beautiful but cool. However, these modern light fixtures could be also considered unobtrusive but I don’t think so. If you have a bold personality, these are the contemporary floor lights and suspension lights for you. You can’t be shy when you have statement pieces such as the Line in your home. Just as Wallis Simpson’s statement is famously haughty, this modern lighting family is for those who are confident and bit cheeky.

Line’s modern floor lamps are torchiere lamps, great for indirect lighting in the living room, bedroom or dining room. The metallic suspension lights are contemporary pendant lighting fixtures well-suited to decorating a modern kitchen, hanging above a dining room table, or proving task lighting anywhere. The mini pendant light fixtures are also available in white, gold leaf , or brown metallized finishes. These mini pendant lights are also suspension pendants.

If you need another analogy, think of Shirley Manson’s intimidating stare in the Sarah Connor Chronicles right before her character morphs into deadly liquid metal. Line by Zaneen Lighting looks fierce, dangerous and beautiful.

Transitional Style Floor Lighting by House of Troy

Were you a fan of Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the HBO series, The Tudors? If so, then you know the Tudors were descendants of the Lancasters and that the family used the red rose as a heraldic symbol.  Many British citizens suffered during 1455 A.D. to 1485 A.D. as a result of the civil war between the York and Lancaster dynasties.  The York symbol was the white rose.

Thankfully, House of Troy Lighting stays out of the historical fray by stamping their Lancaster 6-way floor lamps as transitional style as opposed to traditional. I suspect that if House of Troy Lighting named it an antique floor lamp, it might upset white rose supporters.

Transitional lamps get along with contemporary couches or traditional wall art. Instead of stirring tensions as did Henry IV, Henry V, and Henry VI, these floor lamps can make peace between contemporary decor and traditional furnishings.

What about meeting competing needs at different times? Maybe you’d like to recline with a cup of rose black tea and a book. Perhaps you want task lighting for a crafting party. The Lancaster floor lamp by House of Troy Lighting offers six lighting levels! How’s that for accommodating?

The diplomatic Lancaster floor light fixture stands 62.75″ high in a golden antique brass. Its off-white linen hardback drum shade is 17″ wide. The floor lamp base is 11″. Decide if your decor is warring and make peace by introducing a Lancaster floor lighting fixture to the house.

Sylus Contemporary Floor Lamps by Murray Feiss

Sometimes you don’t even know what your home decor is missing. That’s where Murray Feiss comes in. Look around your living room or bedroom–are there some spots that could use a little ambient light, a little spicing up a bit? Then maybe you should consider decorating with the new contemporary floors lamps and table lamps called Sylus. Meaning “forest” or “woods” these lights combine the timeless elegance of natural crystal with the cosmopolitan grandeur of modern design.

Contemporary lighting often embraces and revolutionizes old elements or motifs. Slender and angular, Sylus incorporates the traditional values of crystal lighting with the fun and funky angular geometry of modern styles. Featuring a sleek polished nickel finish and many clear crystal accents, Sylus nicely pairs the cool clarity of these components with a soft, comforting off-white shantung shade, giving Sylus’ illumination a calm, diffused glow.

Murray Feiss Sylus Table Lamp

The Sylus contemporary lighting family includes three fabulous floor lamps and two lovely table lamps. My personal favorite of these is the Sylus contemporary swing arm floor lamp. Measuring an impressive 62″ high and 14″ wide with a swinging range of 18″, this gorgeous crystal lighting floor lamp would look perfect next to a sofa or divan or in the corner of a room, by a bookshelf or large plant. With tinkling crystal reflections and a chic, reflective finish, nothing says modern decor like the new Sylus lighting family from Murray Feiss.
