IMPORTANCE OFTABLE LAMPS
Table lamps are one of the most
versatile forms of home lighting. They
come in an absolutely enormous variety
of styles, shapes, and designs, and have
the distinct advantage of being easy to
relocate or adjust. Because of this,
table lamps work as a great lighting
option in nearly any room of the house.
When selecting the ideal table lamps
for your space, some key elements to
keep in mind are the lamp’s style,
height, and shade:
Style is the most predominant feature
that most people look for in a lamp.
The style of your table lamp can add
to the overall design of your space.
And there is no shortage of options to
choose from; table lamps range from
modern styles and unique industrial
inspired designs like tripod table
lamps to traditional tiffany glass and
rustic lighting options. There truly is
a design to complement any home.
The height of a lamp is important to
ensure that it is shining light exactly
where you want it to and that the lamp
itself doesn’t interfere with other design
elements. Most table lamps are made at
somewhere around an optimal height for
use on an end table, however, you may
want a different height lamp if your table
is unusually short or tall. Also consider
selecting a particularly tall table lamp for
lighting next to a space where you read
or for a console table that features art or
décor.
The lamp shade is important both for
the impact it makes in terms of design
and for the affect it has on the color
and quality of the lighting. For
example, a white linen shade makes for
a soft ambient glow, glass lampshades
come in varying opacities and metal
shades typically limit the amount of
light that comes through the shade at
all.
Of course unlike the style or height of a
lamp, most shades can be easily
switched out for one of a different style,
color, or material (see our lamp shade
category for options). However, there
are some that are permanently attached,
so this is just something to keep in mind
when considering different possibilities.
