TABLE LAMPS, BUYING GUIDE

Lighting creates romantic atmospheres and enhances every environment in which it is placed.

Among the most important light sources for home furnishings are certainly table lamps.

Basically, when choosing a table lamp, you must pay attention to two fundamental aspects: the aesthetics and the functionality.

Within the aesthetic factor, all aspects related to the style of the furnishings, design, materials, etc. are included...

As for functionality, first of all, you must consider the final use of the table lamp. For example, if you need it for the bedroom, a lamp with diffused light will work well on the bedside table, while if it needs to be placed on the office or study desk, a lamp with a long mobile arm is preferred to better direct the light.

Both of these factors must be subject to a third, perhaps the most important, element: personal taste. Whether it is in a classic or modern style, whether it is used to illuminate the bedroom, living room, or office, the important thing is that the lamp pleases you and is in harmony with the rest of the furnishings.

CLASSIC TABLE LAMPS

As we have always said, the various furnishings must always respect the style of the environment in which they are placed, even if in some cases, differences in lines represent a true detail of design and elegance, while in others they tend to generate disharmony and confusion.

Whether you decide to put it in a traditional or modern environment, let's see how to choose a classic-style table lamp.

Usually, classic lamps are made of natural materials such as wood, glass, or fabric. The shapes of classic table lamps can also be very elaborate, especially if made of wood, while those made of glass and fabric are often decorated with floral elements or various themes. As for colors, warm ones like yellow, red, orange, or brown are preferred. Cooler shades are instead used in the creation of modern lamps.

Classic-style lamps adapt well to being placed in every room of the house. For example, for the bedroom, you can choose a lamp with small dimensions, while in more important environments such as the living room, you can dare to buy lampshades made with more precious materials such as glass or ceramics.

MODERN LAMPS

Modern table lamps have linear shapes and are usually made of materials such as glass and steel.

There are different types of modern-style table lamps on the market, with self-moving arms, fixed, and ceiling lamps.

Table lamps with self-moving arms are perfect for use as desk lamps as their main purpose is to better illuminate a specific portion of the table, whether it is where a book, tablet, or computer is placed. The line of these lamps is very essential, but at the same time, it has an attractive design.

Fixed modern lamps, on the other hand, are very suitable for decorating the bedroom as they emit diffused light that creates a beautiful and romantic atmosphere. Also in this case, the manufacturers are very attentive to design, especially regarding the base, which often takes on particular, geometric, or irregular shapes. The ceiling table lamp also belongs to this second type, which can be round, oval, or cubic. These are often made of ceramic or opaque glass to ensure greater diffused lighting.
