Table lamps are both functional and decorative lighting products. Adesso table lamps add ambient light to a room and also complement its decor. Table lamps can produce diffused light and provide additional lighting that complements almost any room. Staples carries a wide selection of these lamps and you can find them in different sizes and varying designs.
Choosing the Right Table Lamp for Your Home
Size is an important consideration when picking the right table lamp for a room. The lamp should be proportional to the room and the table it will sit on. In general, make sure the lamp is no taller than 1.5 times the height of the side table it sits on. The light source or bottom of the lamp's shade should be at sitting eye level.
Table lamps come in different styles. The most popular ones are accent, buffet, torchiere and cordless lamps. Accent lamps provide dim ambient lighting that illuminates display items or aspects of room decors. Buffet lamps have elegant traditional designs and add ambiance to dining rooms and serving tables. Torchiere lamps have bowl-shaped glass shades and shine their lights upwards. Cordless lamps are battery-powered options you can move around.
Consider Build Material When Comparing Table Lamps
The most common materials used for making table lamp bases and stalks are metal and wood. Wood lamps usually have traditional and contemporary designs and sometimes vintage finishes. Metal lamps usually have minimalist modern designs. Most are made of steel, brass and aluminum. Get one made of wrought iron if you prefer the unburnished look of industrial-style lamps. You can also find premium table lamps made of glass and crystal. These are decorative lamps that produce filtered light. They are lighter and more fragile than wood and metal lamps.
What Type of Shade Should you get for Your Table Lamp?
Look for a dark-colored shade if you prefer subtle lighting for your room. Commonly used lampshade materials include paper, fabric, linen, silk, metal and glass. Choose one with a decorative pattern or texture that complements your room's decor. Consider a lamp with a replaceable shade if you regularly change the look of your home.
What are the Differences Between Table and Desk Lamps?
While many use both terms interchangeably, a table lamp is mainly a decorative lamp that improves the ambiance of a room while a desk lamp provides task lighting. This distinction means that desk lamps are brighter although you can find models that provide dimmable lighting just as you can install a bright bulb in a table lamp. Generally, a table lamp has a shade that dims its light while a desk lamp uses a shade as a hood to focus its light.
What Kinds of Bulbs can you use for Table Lamps?
You can use incandescent, CFL and LED bulbs with table lamps. Halogen bulbs are generally too hot to stick under a lamp shade. You should also avoid incandescent bulbs for the same reason if your lamp has a paper shade. Before getting a bulb for your lamp, make sure to note the manufacturer's recommended wattage. LED bulbs are the most energy-efficient options, and they run cooler and have lower wattage ratings than other types of comparable brightness.
