I can’t bang on enough about how much rooms need table lamps. Notice I said lamps in plural, because one is never enough. It depends on the size of the room exactly how many you need, but at the very minimum I’d say three. Hands up if you agree. Right, that’s that sorted. So now I’ll tell you why it’s always a good idea to add a table lamp.
A Table Lamp Creates Little Pockets of Cosiness in a Room
Verdura Table Lamp. With Ocean Parchment Shade.
Yes, that’s right. Rooms just look more comfortable and welcoming with a trio of lamps dotted around. What’s the point of a soft squishy armchair and a handy little side table, without a table lamp? It’s the perfect spot to relax with a drink and a good book. With the lamp lit, there is no need to get up any time soon. Unless it’s to refresh your glass of wine or make another cup of tea.
A Sideboard Just Looks Bare Without a Table Lamp
Nellie Table Lamp In Mootard. With 40cm Straight Empire In Papaya Parchment.
Wouldn’t you agree? It’s the perfect accessory to add a little height and light to a display of personal mementos. Not to mention some colour, shape and pattern if you decide to go for a jazzy lampshade. Add a piece of art at the other end of the sideboard and you have created the perfect balance of colour and interest. Plonk down some flowers or a houseplant and your friends will think you’ve taken a course in styling. Tell them you have.
A Hall Needs to Look Welcoming for Guests
Crescent Table Lamp In Black Marble. With 30cm Vellum Shade.
And what better welcome than the soft glow of a shaded lamp? It’s much more flattering than the glare of the overhead pendant light. For you I mean. You don’t want to scare your guests off before they’re over the threshold do you? If you’re lucky enough to have the space for a sideboard or console table, see point 2 (above). If you only have a shelf, just choose a smaller lamp, or better still two.
A Bedroom Needs to Look Romantic
Cosmo Table Lamp. With Straight Empire Shade In Blue Block Printed Cotton.
Of course it does. And if you’re not feeling romantic you need a table lamp to read that book. A bedside lamp on each side of the bed is a must if you don’t want arguments about who’s turning out the lights. And there’s nothing nicer than ending the day burrowed down among the pillows with nothing more to do than flick the switch.
It’s the Perfect Excuse to Go a Little Wild
Shiltern Table Lamp. With Empire Shade In Pink Block Printed Cotton.
Go on, step out of your comfort zone. There’s so much choice for table lamps, why not experiment a little with colour and style. A brightly coloured lampshade can provide a welcome punch of color in an otherwise neutral scheme. Or choose an unusual shape. Just for fun.
