Different Shapes and Styles of Shoji lamps
Shoji lamps in Different Shapes and Styles Have you ever thought of decorating your room with shoji lamps? We all crave for a different look and style statement. People around us are trying out innovative ways to give a new look to their sweet home. But the task is not that difficult. Shoji lamps are there to give a new dimension and appeal to any set up, be it home or office. They are popularly used as mood lighting. We just need to use our brains to make full use of these lamps.
You can search for the shoji lamps over the internet. They are available in various shapes and sizes and each one has got a different appeal. Shoji lamps are finely crafted from rice paper and bamboo strips and they come up in various forms like, round paper lamps, vertical floor lamps or even fancy table lamps. In fact, any lamp made out of rice paper fixed on bamboo canes is called a shoji lamp.
You can use the round paper shoji lamps which come up with intricate random bamboo strips to create a texture of shadows. In fact, I found these shoji lamps in a restaurant I visited last week for a family dinner. to celebrate the occasion. I realized that this restaurant is earning more with these shoji lamps.
They are either placed at the hallway or the corners of room or offices. The best ones are handcrafted by skilled artisans to ensure minimum imperfections. These lamps use two standard 60 watt bulbs which can be operated with on/ off foot peddle switch. Interestingly, the floor lamps themselves are a piece of stunning sculpture even when they are unlit.
The shoji lamps are pretty handy and we can place them wherever we want to see them according to their shapes. If we can get hold of some classic shoji table lamps, we can either place them on study tables or they can even be hanged from the walls. It is up to us how we can use the magic light illuminated through the white rice paper on the bamboo canes. The hanging shoji lamps are getting popular day by day. They are mostly used for office decorations. They can be hanged from anywhere and so, we do not have to worry about the space they will occupy.
We can also gift shoji lamps to the near and dear ones. Have you ever thought of picking up a teahouse shoji table lamp for your husband on your anniversary? We can actually gift our loved ones these lamps with magic glows.
Japanese décor items are getting popular primarily because we are sick and tired of the western ones and most importantly, we cannot ignore the charm of traditional and authentic Japanese aesthetics. Once we are in love with them, we will be picking up shoji lamps very often.

Oriental Ambience For Your Bathroom
There are relatively few accent pieces that one can add to the bathroom other than linens to pick up the Oriental feel unless you are free to completely re-model the space. However, the shoji lamp just be that accessory that will serve this purpose. If this term is new to your vocabulary, most of us have all been familiar with the Japanese paper lanterns and the principle is just the same except this fixture has a wooden frame and the rice paper is stretched over this structure. Often times there are scenes depicted trees, figures, etc. painted on this screening.
You will find that there are many different styles to be selected from. The shoji lamp is available in many different woods from cherry rosewood, maple, dark walnut, natural, black and honey color. This variety gives you the liberty to work this lovely accessory into your present color scheme with ease. The many different models range from the sleek, lines of the Asian influence to the most modern and contemporary styles. You can expect the inner framework of this accessory to give you excellent service as the framework is make of 100% kiln dried Scandinavian spruce and the screen is hand pressed rice pulp paper. Only quality products go into the construction process.
In making your selection, the models might be such that you would choose to have them sitting on a table or use as a stand alone lighting fixture. The shoji lamp is also available in an end table model which might be useful if there is ample space in the bathroom or dressing area. Regardless of the model or style that you choose, it will be your choice as to which of the many styles fit into your decor. The simplicity of the window pane effect or the fluid lines that play out in the cylindrical shapes along with the soft illumination through the rice paper will be certain to provide hours of enjoyment for your family and guests. One word of caution would be to stay within the perimeters of wattage limitations in regard to the light bulb.
