Clean, contemporary style works no matter where you live. Check out this photo gallery from the Indianapolis Star about a minimalist home. We particular like the contemporary bar stools and the modern lighting.

We're running a sweepstakes to promote our new Design Your Own Custom Lighting tool. You can get extra entries by tweeting a "I heart @lampsplus..." phrase for us.

We thought we'd share a few of the fun tweets from the first days of the sweepstakes:

"I heart @lampsplus & #designyourown lamps because I can add my own sense of style to my home decor. It's fun too!"

"I heart @lampsplus & #designyourown  lamps because they have everything in lighting to make a girl feel beautiful."

"I heart @lampsplus & #designyourown lamps because you can't beat the PLUS side of lampsplus!"

Get in the action yourself! Enter the sweepstakes here or visit us on Twitter.
 

Lamp sets are decorating made easy! Sets include two or more lamps, and you can use them to create a coordinated look on a buffet, on bedside tables and more. We also offer more complete sets that come with two or three table lamps and a matching floor lamp.

We've posted a new video on YouTube showing how to use our new Design Your Own lighting tool. Give it a view below.

With Daylight Savings Time begining this coming Sunday, March 14th, at 2 a.m., the warm days of summer can't be that far off, can they?

It's a pain to adjust your clocks, but the change to Daylight Saving Time is important in that it allows us to take advantage of later daylight hours to use less energy in lighting our homes.

While you're updating your clocks, it's also a good time to check your smoke alarms and swap incandescent bulbs to CFL bulbs. So don't forget to "spring forward" this Sunday.
