This article introduces the different types of desk lamps in order that you can find one that best suits your needs.

Tiffany Desk Lamps

Tiffany style desk lamps are probably the most unique style you will see. These desk lamps are based loosely on the designs Louis Comfort Tiffany. Tiffany created unique stained-glass lamps at the turn of the last century. Offering an array of styles that range from pleasant and warm to unique and even startling, Tiffany style lamps are available with metal or wood bases, with or without adjustable extension arms and often come with ornate metal and glass shade. If you want a desk lamp with a style in its own class, Tiffany lamps offer several varieties.

Banker Desk Lamps

Banker desk lamps come with a sense of nostalgia. With its classic green glass shade and gold pull chain, these lamps create an instantly warm feeling and hint at a time long past. Used originally by bankers who studiously pored over bank ledgers, banker desk lamps cast a strong warm light to brightly illuminate the work area. Since the classic green style banker lamp became popular years ago, other styles of banker desk lamps have been introduced. Modern models can include balance arms to adjust the cast of the light as well as light gold glass shades instead of the classic green. From traditional models to more contemporary versions, the banker desk lamp is a good fit in nearly any home office.

Modern Desk Lamps

Modern desk lamps are for those with a sense of style, design, and functionality. A modern desk lamp design is one that derives from a contemporary or traditional desk lamp in functionality with a minimalistic approach to form. With thousands of styles of modern desk lamps available, breaching what many would consider to be a “normal desk lamp”, finding the right modern lighting for your home or office can be difficult. It all depends on how well you know your own taste. Modern desk lamps incorporate a unique blend of science and art, making them a true merger of beauty and functionality.

Traditional Desk Lamps

When you need a desk lamp for a room in your home and your design needs are simple, a traditional desk lamp is likely your best option. Most traditional lamps have a slightly nostalgic feel about them. Some are ornate with jeweled fringe around the bottom of the cloth shades. Others are minimalistic with white shades and a black base. Often a traditional desk lamp can have a bit of flair and style such as models with cross lattice shades or lamps with a twig and vine theme.

Shopping for a desk lamp can be exciting and fun. With thousands of styles and designs to choose from, your options are nearly limitless. For a nostalgic feel, consider a banker desk lamp or one of the many stylish traditional models. To add a unique flavor to your room or office, consider buying a Tiffany lamp or a modern desk lamp. There is truly a style for every need and personality.
