How to Choose the Perfect Table Lamp

As you get deeper into decorating your home, you will realize that it is the tiny details that end up making the biggest difference. While the style, theme and color scheme of the room define it, it is lighting that ultimately sets the mood and creates an ambiance of your choice. In fact, a simple change in lighting can completely alter a room’s vibe and turn it from a dull, boring space into a cozy, inviting retreat or even a cheerful and exciting hub! And few lighting fixtures combine timeless charm, modern allure and smart functionality like the lovely table lamp.

In a world that is dominated by stunning chandeliers, amazingly creative pendant lights and bold floor lamps, the good ol’ table lamp might seem like a less fancy choice. But do not underestimate the value of a sturdy and elegant table lamp. When used right, the table lamp can bring symmetry, color, contrast, texture and of course illumination to any room it adorns. And today we take a look at how to buy the right table lamp that offers everything you need and a whole lot more.

1. Finding the Right Spot

Start off by determining where you want to put the table lamp, and chalk out the exact height at which it will sit, as well as its distance from the bed, couch or cozy chair next to it. Starting off by first buying the table lamp and then trying to fit it into the bedroom or living room is not really a good idea. While it can work if you are lucky, often the lamp would end up being too short, tall or bright for the room. Also, you might not need a bedside table lamp to be as luminous as one that sits on the side table in the living room! So, clearly define the purpose of the lamp before you start shopping for it.

2. Sizing Things Up

Here is the tricky part when you are choosing a brand new table lamp. The height of the table lamp you pick is determined more by the room it sits in and the décor around the lamp. If you have a tall bedside table, then it goes without saying that a shorter lamp will do and vice versa. The general norm here is to pick a lamp where the bottom of the shade is at your eye level when you are seated or resting. This works whether you are shopping for a table lamp that fits your reading nook, a beside lamp, or even one that goes next to the couch in the living room.

3. Play with the Style

one of our readers might wonder if a table lamp really has a style of its own, and the answer is an emphatic yes. True, it is often the shade that determines the overall appeal of the lamp, but there are plenty of cases where the body of the lamp makes a huge difference and defines it. From the Hollywood Regency-style Miss K Table Lamp to classically opulent Bourgie table lamps, a variety can perfectly fit in with the exclusive and exceptional style of your home. Another approach is to use the table lamp to usher in a completely different style, giving the room a radiant focal point!

4. A World of Colors

A neutral backdrop that is devoid of bold color is almost the norm in most modern homes, and with neutrals like gray continuing to hold sway in 2016 as well, table lamps give you an opportunity to add a color punch. Multi-colored delights like the Capri Bottle Lamp allow you to bring in almost any hue of your choice, while sparkling copper table lamps with an industrial vibe or those in gold continue to provide that smart metallic glitter.
