Find the Perfect Table Lamp for Every Room
The right table lamp can transform a room, providing both practical illumination and a stylish design element. Consider where you’ll be placing your lamp and its primary purpose:
- Living Room Table Lamps: Cozy a room with living room table lamps. Traditional or contemporary, choose from a wide range of styles. Side table lamps are perfect for placing on either side of a sofa or armchair, providing even light for reading or conversation. A tall table lamp or two identical lamps will create symmetry. For a modern look, see our modern table lamps with clean lines and minimalist designs.
- Bedroom Table Lamps: Bedroom table lamps are needed to make a restful and useful space. Bedside table lamps offer convenient light for nighttime reading and emit a warm, ambient glow. Choose a table lamp with a dimmer to control the light, or opt for touch table lamps for bedrooms for convenient on/off switching. A small table lamp is ideal for small nightstands, and a larger lamp makes a dramatic statement on a large bedside table.
- Other Spaces: Don’t save table lamps for just the living room and bedroom! An end table lamp can illuminate and elegantly illuminate a hallway or entryway. A compact table lamp in a reading nook is the perfect location for a cozy light. Even consider outdoor table lamps (outdoor-specific, of course) to illuminate your patio or deck.
Experiment with Various Styles and Purposes
- Glass table lamps: They produce a warm, diffuse light, and a sophisticated mood. Usually sporting sleek, modern profiles, glass lamps may also incorporate colored or etched glass to provide intrigue. Glass lamps are highly adaptable, complementing various styles of decor.
- Brass table lamps and gold table lamps:These add a touch of elegance and warmth, perfect for transitional or traditional spaces. Brass and gold finishes can range from shiny and reflective to antique and brushed, offering variety. They tend to go well with traditional lamp shades.
- Alabaster table lamp: Introduce a rich and translucent glow to your space. Alabaster is a rock, so every lamp will be a unique piece with a unique, veined pattern. Gentle diffusion of light through the stone creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
How to Choose a Table Lamp
Consider these key considerations:
- Size: Proportion the lamp to the room and the furniture.
- Height: The base of the shade should generally be at eye level when seated.
- Style: Choose a style that will complement your existing décor.
- Function: Consider what the lamp is mostly to be used for (reading, light for lighting, etc.).
- Bulb Type: Use LED bulbs for power efficiency.
