A perfectly styled home is nothing without the appropriate lighting. Think about it this way, you’ve spent ages painting walls, sanding skirting boards, and choosing the best furniture for your space only to realise that you can’t fully appreciate them. In fact, you can’t even really see them. This is most likely because of the lack of lighting in that particular room. And while we’d all love to have floor-to-ceiling windows that flood an area with natural light, it’s not always possible. So, what’s the alternative you ask? Well, investing in a number of lighting fixtures and standalone pieces to brighten the space artificially. Fortunately, there are a number of lights to choose from. From table lamps to floor lamps, bedside lamps to pendant lighting, there are so many choices. In this week’s EZ Living Furniture blog, we have decided to shine a light on table lamps, in particular. We will explore their benefits, highlight their features and design, and teach you how to incorporate them into your home decor.
Bedroom Table Lamps
Bedside lamps are a must if you ask us. They can emit just enough light to illuminate the pages of your favourite novel. The really great thing about table lamps is their ability to light the room just enough to prevent any injuries. There’s nothing worse than a stubbed toe after pulling yourself from the bed in the middle of the night and catching your toe on the bed frame on the way out. We suggest choosing a table lamp with a lampshade for your boudoir if you want an effective yet dim light that won’t disturb the person sleeping next to you when switched on. Position one or two lamps on top of the bedside lockers on either side of the bed frame to gain the most out of your lighting. The Daisy Taupe Lamp above features a beige shade and would be a stylish choice for any bedroom decor. Its understated ivory tones would complement a variety of colour schemes.
Living Room Table Lamps
Positioned on a console table or side table, a large lamp can boast an elegant silhouette in any living room. It is a great substitute for main ceiling lighting, especially in the evening when a ceiling light can feel too harsh on the eyes. It is a statement piece all on its own without even being switched on. A lamp can grab your attention from a mile away and direct it towards one corner of the living room - if you so wish. The Saturn Table Lamp above is the perfect example of this and is just tall enough to create a big impact. Some individuals may even want to keep their lamps on all night long, although we wouldn’t recommend leaving anything switched on when unattended.
Hallway Table Lamps
A hallway table can look awkward when not properly styled. This table is most likely the first thing someone will see when they step foot into your home so it’s important it is decorated to a high standard. It can easily become consumed by pairs of shoes, sets of keys, and mountains of letters when not kept on top of. Instead, we recommend adding smaller home accessories to the surface of the hall table or console table to really enhance the look of this often overlooked and underappreciated space. Large table lamps like the Retro above would definitely add a hint of elegance to any hallway or entryway.
Dining Room Table Lamps
When cabinet space is lacking in a kitchen, an adjoining dining room can really benefit from a sideboard. It could host additional dinnerware, bottles of vino, and even become a makeshift coffee bar or a bar table at a moment’s notice. An appropriate table lamp like the Sarsfield above could provide just enough light to create a moody cocktail preparation zone. The black metal would work with a variety of contemporary-styled living rooms.
And there you have it - a stunning selection of table lamps to suit both traditional and contemporary homes. Browse our full range of lamps and lighting solutions here.
