The ceramic baseball lamp is a great lighting accessory for a sports themed bedroom or home study area. The white design and simple style allows the baseball themed light to fit into most existing décor schemes and compliment the vast majority of bedside furniture pieces and bedding patterns.

When lit, the ceramic lamp produces a bright and warm light which is ideal for bedtime reading and as accent lighting for other activities.

The white shade may be a little too simple for some but this can be amended with decorative baseball themed decals which can be stuck to the surface. The ceramic baseball that is the table lamp’s base is the main feature and one that reflects the light above and really focuses the attention onto the baseball. It’s a lamp Joe DiMaggio would not doubt have been delighted with if it had been around during his youth.

Includes one 60-watt bulb

The Tour typically lasts for 21 days and covers around 3,200 kilometres. The New York Times once said of the sport, “the Tour de France is arguably the most physiologically demanding of athletic events”. If you’re a fan of long-distance cycle racing and like to cycle yourself, then you’ll know first-hand how gruelling this race really is. The first Tour began way back in 1903 and has since become an iconic tradition and opportunity to admire the beauty that is the French landscape.

This Tour de France art print poster is an ideal gift accessory for anyone you know, including yourself, who loves to watch the French cycle race each year. The speed and vibrancy of the final stage in Paris is captured in this painting which shows riders racing down the famous Avenue des Champs-Élysées. In the distance, in the center of the green trees, is the Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile monument which honors the soldiers who fought for France especially during the Napoleonic Wars.

This poster incorporates the famous images of France including the architectural aspects and the sporting traditions. Together with the French flags that line the most expensive strip of real estate in Europe, the wonderful talent of Malcolm Farley captures the action and emotions of cyclists from around the world intent on winning the ultimate prize. It’s bound to enliven your living room or home study wall and create a talking point amongst fellow cycling enthusiasts.

Bobsled Racing by on a Big Vendleboe Curve During the Winter Olympics

The vintage bobsled poster above shows a team of four hurtling down an ice track. I can’t be sure of which Winter Olympics it is from but looking at the style of clothing and helmets, it’s likely to be from the late 1950s and into the 1960s. This places the event possibly in one of three possible locations, including Cortina d’Ampezzo in Italy, Innsbruck in Austria or Grenoble in France.

It’s a classic-style poster that will bring a touch of history into the room of a bobsled fan. The black and white photographic image of the bobsled will compliment a wide variety of settings and interiors as noted by the picture directly above. If you’ve been enjoying the bobsleigh during the current Vancouver Winter Olympics, then this vintage bobsled poster will make an excellent reminder of the speed, bravery and camaraderie of this visually stunning sport.

Did you know?: The first half-pipe bobsled track was built in 1870 in St. Moritz, Switzerland. It’s still in use today.

Speed Skater, c.1983 Art PrintWarhol, Andy Buy at AllPosters.com

Andy Warhol is one of the most famous 20th century artists known to the general public. This is due to his prolific amount of work and ground-breaking movement into the world of Pop Art. His most famous works were a collection of multiple images of every day objects such as soda bottles, dollar bills, soup cans and celebrities. Warhol’s innovation of silk-screening provided yet more plaudits from the public and art critics alike.

The Speed Skater, c.1983, is in a similar style to these famous prints. Boxes of color are superimposed over one another and in the center is the elegant yet dynamic image of a speed skater in the heat of competition. There’s no reference to any one Winter Olympics which makes this speed skater poster timeless and relevant to all past, present and future Winter Games. What I particularly like is how the colored boxes have been placed at angles, suggesting movement and in many ways, instability that comes from racing on millimeter thick skating blades.

If like me, you have been following the Vancouver Olympic speed skating events, then this Andy Warhol speed skating art print will make a nice decorative accessory for a wall in your home. It will suit contemporary interiors especially and will also add some 20th Century artistic history to a setting, not to mention memories of fun sporting occasions.

If you have a kid who also loves “the beautiful game”, then this ceiling lamp is just the gift for them. The soccer lamp is shaped and designed just like a traditional soccer ball you will see across the globe, at World Cups and in the famous English Premier League. It’s suitable for a girl or boy and even for a devoted soccer mom!

When lit, the soccer ball lamp shines the pattern onto the walls, thereby creating a wonderful sporting ambiance to accompany an important Major League Soccer (MLS) match or the upcoming International World Cup being held in South Africa. For those dreaded occasions when no soccer is on TV, the lamp will provide a constant visual expression of your kid’s sporting passion.

For a soccer themed bedroom or playroom, this soccer ball shaped ceiling light really is perfect. Just remember not to head butt the lamp by mistake.
