TABLE LAMPS

Table lamps are used decoratively and as lighting source in all well decorated homes They lamps are perhaps the most common type of lamp used today They are also used for decorative lightings within offices restaurant bars and other private and public places

Traditional Lamps

Designs of hurricane lamps are deeply rooted in tradition and will enhance any room in your home They have a hand blown cut crystal chimney and brass rim ornamental round base Outstanding quality and incredible details of hurricane lamps makes each of them a work of art that can become a great conversation piece Interiors by night can reveal a whole new dimension when given the added sparkle of candle light from hurricane lamps By placing scented candle in the hurricane lamps youll create a romantic atmosphere filled with relaxing fragrance

Floor Lamps

Floor lamps and desk lamps are following the same exciting trends and can create a fantastic combination when purchased together while focusing on a particular interior decor idea Floor and table lamps should be in proportion to the scale of furnishings height of the ceiling and size of the room Many people select floor and table lamps to go with specific fabrics in a particular room but remember that materials come and go and you may move so choose table and floor lamps that will be appropriate in many settings Shaded table and floor lamps look better with frosted bulbs as they are used for soft flattering general light

Designers of contemporary table lamps focus on using new and unique materials to create their artistic and beautiful designs Designer Table Lamps are worth the price You can find discount lamps in many stores but often durability and design are sacrificed Paper table lamps allow you to select a design and style that best suits your personality Upward light design is when the bulb faces upwards so that the light reflects against the ceiling creating a soft and lush light for the room A particularly popular design is the tabletop chandelier strands of glowing plastic or glass fibres lighting the room naturally and delicately Contemporary designers like to focus on creating the best lighting for reading or writing but also for dining or entertaining Its not economically feasible for most people to keep up with the latest design trends by switching out highticket items like sofas but by changing something like pillows and lamps one can instantly change the whole look of a room

Furniture

The lamp that you want to purchase should fit well along your other pieces of furniture Looking at extremes a large dominant lamp has no place in a tiny room nor would small pendant lamps fit areas that are not intimate in size or where furniture is larger in scale Table lamps much in the same manner as furniture have distinct personalities When choosing a table lamp the shade needs to be in proportion to the lamps base as well as with the surrounding furniture It can change the room without changing any furniture layout or colouring

Table lamps are a great way to illuminate any room all the while complimenting your decor They are also a great way to add a little ambience or mood lighting to your overall lighting decor Table lamps are an elegant and excellent way to provide effective lighting for many areas

Home Lighting Making Your Home Bright And Beautiful

Your home lighting choices will depend very much on the general style of your home If for example your home is very modern with clean and simple lines then your lighting should also follow this pattern Dimmer switches and up lighters go very well in a modern home because they accent the understated nature of modern style Whatever type of lighting you choose it should complement the general design

If the general theme in your home is of a rustic nature with plenty of wood and chintz then you may want to choose lighting that complements and emphasizes that theme In a rustically styled home you will find lampshades decorated with horses and bears some shades are designed to imitate an Indian tepee Wrought iron is a common material in the production of rustic lighting and some electric lamps are designed to look like the oil lamps that decorated the cabins of the past

Some people design their homes on a romantic theme and here your choices are many A good mix in any home should contain both hard and soft lighting The sometimes harsh overhead lights are needed for everyday tasks softer lighting is achieved by having a number of lamps in a room or by using low wall lights Wall sconces can provide a soft gentle glow that cannot be achieved with an overhead light Floor lamps can also provide a soft glow which adds to the romantic look

One room that really does benefit from proper lighting is the bedroom A bedroom should have a mix of task lighting and background lighting Soft background lighting can be provided by matching bedside lamps while task lighting comes from a central ceiling light fixture Many people like to have light switches by the bed so that they can be switched off once you are comfortably tucked up

Getting the proper lighting in your home means looking at each room in turn and assessing what sort of light you need to accommodate what you do in that room For example the kitchen needs plenty of light because it is a work space Many people have fluorescent lighting in the kitchen because it is the closest thing to daylight Other people like spot lights in the kitchen which will highlight one area at time Getting it right depends on the style of your home and the sort of lighting that best suits your needs

If you want your home to appear welcoming to visitors then it should have a good porch light as well as an overhead lighting fixture in the hall or passage way You may need to play around with several styles if you want to get the proper lighting for your home
