Table lamps provide a functional and decorative accent to the surrounding, whether it be in a bedroom, living room or office. Both modern and traditional styles of lamps are available to suit any decor. Functionality is key with lamps, and selecting the correct bulb is key. LED bulbs are often a great choice, as they provide significant savings on energy and last longer then other bulbs. Once the bulb is chosen, one can select the shade and design of the lamp to suit the home décor. When it comes to selecting a table lamp, consider the space the lamp will be in and the functional purpose of the lamp. For example, a lamp placed in a reading corner should have an adjustable arm and be directed at the readers eye level. Additionally, design should fit with the surrounding décor. Floor lamps are better for larger spaces or more ambient lighting, and can often be a centerpiece in a room. When selecting lamps, thoroughly research to help decide which lamp best fits your needs and budget. Dont forget to also consider the additional cost of bulbs, as they need to be replaced frequently. Finally, be sure to use the lamp responsibly and safely by keeping it away from flammable goods and making sure the bulb is the correct wattage.
