How to Choose the Perfect Table Lamp
With so many shapes, sizes, and finishes available, selecting the right table lamp might seem overwhelming. Here’s how to make the right choice for your space:
1. Determine the Right Size
A lamp that’s too tall or too short can throw off the balance. As a rule of thumb:
-
The bottom of the lampshade should be at eye level when you’re seated.
-
For bedside use, choose lamps around 24″ to 27″ tall.
-
For desks or reading nooks, go taller with more focused light.
2. Consider the Lampshade
Shade shape and material affect both aesthetics and light quality.
-
Drum shades are modern and diffuse light evenly.
-
Tapered shades offer a classic look and direct light downward.
-
Linen or cotton shades soften the light for warmth.
-
Glass or metal shades direct light for task-focused use.
3. Match Your Decor Style
Choose finishes and silhouettes that match your overall interior vibe:
-
Traditional: Ornate bases, classic shades, warm finishes
-
Modern: Clean lines, minimalist colors
-
Bohemian: Woven textures, earthy tones
-
Industrial: Matte black, raw metal details
4. Think About Light Output
Choose a table lamp that fits your needs:
-
Low-wattage (40–60W): Great for ambiance
-
Medium-wattage (60–100W): Best for reading
-
LED bulbs: Offer long life, energy savings, and color temperature control
