Finding just the right table lamp to compliment your interior is easy with both high street and online retailers offering aide selections in every shape, size and colour imaginable!
Table lamps are not only essential items in lounges they are a great addition to any room of your home to create wonderful soft and ambient lighting effects effortlessly.
One great advantage of using lamps in your home is that you can swap styles and colours according to the area in which you place them! Coordinating is nice but can be pretty boring if the entire house has exactly the same colour and style of lamp!
Make an entrance!
Add a table lamp in your hallway to make guests feel really welcome. Choose a coloured base and shade which compliments your interior design style and decor as well as proportionate in size to the space available.
If your home has a long narrow corridor type entrance wall light may be a better option. A dramatic ceiling light in a gorgeous chandelier style is perfect for hallways with high ceilings.
Gentle landings
Bring a sense of harmony and tranquillity to a landing by opting for a small table lamp which provides enough light to provide a gentle, pleasant glow to the area.
Beautiful bedrooms
This is the room where matching bedside table lamps look great. Choose style which coordinate with bedding or opt for designs which integrate with your style of furniture and soft furnishings.
Children's bedrooms
Children will love having their own light to turn on and off at night. Table lamps are available which have kid's themes in mind to coordinate with their room. Teenagers will prefer spot type lamps in trendy metallic finishes or funky beaded table lamps in gorgeous colours!
Guest rooms
Always provide at least one bedside table lamp for your guests. Twin bedded rooms can have one table lamp placed between the beds for easy access while double bedded rooms should have matching lamps each side of the bed in the traditional manner.
Designers often include coordinating table lamps to bring a stylish and chic look to a bedroom which supplies ambient lighting suitable for relaxation and pleasure!
Bathrooms
In the UK regulations as to where electrical plugs can be fitted reduce the ability to include table lamps within a bathroom due to safety and to reduce the risk of accidental fatalities! As such placing a lamp in a bathroom is not an option, instead choose beautiful ceiling lamps, spot lighting and use candles to create soft lighting effects.
Dining rooms
Large table lamps or floor lamps look great in dining areas as they provide sufficient light to enable you to see what you are eating as well as creating mood altering environments at the flick of a switch! Choose styles which compliment your design style to add an interesting and yet practical focal point to the area.
Lounges
This is the room where table lamps come into their own! Place table lamps at strategic points to offer light where needed, such as for reading.
Opt for a variety of different shapes and sizes to add interest to the room. For an avant-garde and trendy look include large mirror lamps with black cotton shades and etched based which reflect the light with wonderful effects. |
