Maitland-Smith Lamps and Lighting Table Lamp 1700-428 blends perfectly with the brick background.<\/p><\/div>\n

The right kind of table lamp has the power to make a room appear and feel cozier. Yet figuring out what sort of lamp to buy can be a bit tricky. Before you learn how to pair the right table lamp with the best table or desk, here are a few tips in shopping for the right decorative lighting \u2013<\/p>\n

Take a Seat <\/strong><\/p>\n

A big or small lamp could function as a source of light but if you don\u2019t consider certain design elements, then it could look like it was not originally a part of the room. Consider both form and function when choosing the correct table lamp. Be sure to set the function first then have the size follow suit.<\/p>\n

To measure the correct size of table lamp, be sure to take a seat on the sofa or chair right next to the table where the lamp will be situated. Measure the distance from your eye level right to the table surface.<\/p>\n

Find a shade that comes with a diameter which is no more than two inches smaller than the base length. For instance, a fixture with 16\u201d base should have a shade width that is no more than 14\u201d.<\/p>\n

Buy a fixture that has a bottom to base shade length which will not exceed your eye-level-to-table measurement. Shade length should have 65-80% of the length of the base.\u00a0 If the lamp is going to be used on the bedside table, then the length should still be sitting at your eye level coming from the bedside table.<\/p>\n

The guidelines are still applicable even if you\u2019re setting up a tiny table that comes with a reading light. It could be difficult to shop for a small scale lamp which is still tall enough for this kind of setup but there are options out there. Should you have trouble looking for the correct size of table lamp, then just settle for a floor fixture.<\/p>\n

A Useful Tip <\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a useful method of estimating your eye level for those impromptu shopping. This is an age-old florist\u2019s trick in doing this estimation.<\/p>\n

Put your elbow on the nightstand or desk and have your arm perpendicular to the surface with your fingers extended. Begin measuring from the table surface to the tip of your middle finger. This measurement should serve as your guide for eye level when looking for the right table lamp.<\/p>\n

Credenza + Pottery Lamps <\/strong><\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a table and lamp combination that will surely excite people who want to embrace the midcentury look. Make good use of proportions. Use a petite credenza with a chunky sort of pottery lamp. You can also look for a statement lamp to balance the miniscule look of the credenza.<\/p>\n
Hang a huge piece of painting slightly off-center beside the lamp to complete the look.<\/p>\n
Bamboo Table + Small Ceramic Lamp <\/strong><\/p>\n
The bamboo table can be an elegant nightstand yet a big lamp will crowd it out. To avoid this, or the use of a task lamp, use a small-scale lamp complete with an empire-shape shade. This ceramic lamp should cast ample light according to your needs.<\/p>\n
Media Center + Tall Glass Lamp <\/strong><\/p>\n
Place a tall glass lamp on one end of the media center. This placement takes the eye away from the center of the TV screen (and reduces glare) when it is not being used.<\/p>\n
Lovely Sofa + Glass Lamp<\/strong><\/p>\n
If you situated your sofa at the center of the living room, it would be aesthetically great to have glass lamps roundabout. This sort of lamp will not obstruct the sight lines.<\/p>\n
Make these glass lamps more interesting during the summer by filling them up with fine sand.<\/p>\n
Find out which among these table and lamp combos would work best in your home. Have fun doing this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
