How To Choose The Right Table Lamp

That one perfect unique table lamp. It can utterly complete the feel and atmosphere of a room. What makes the ideal design of such an appliance to create the right look and ambiance? You basically need to incorporate balance in your space, and the tips below can guide you:

1. Look for the right shade height

You can determine this by sitting next to the area where you are going to place the lamp. While sitting down, check the measures from the surface where you will set the lamp to your eye level.

You need to find its average height, and you do this by dividing the base measure by 3. So if, for example, the measurement is 18”, you divide this by 3, and you get 6”, and this will be the average height you need for your shade.

2. Decide on the most appropriate size

Ascertaining the average height for your shade needs you to add 18” to the measure of your shade. As derived from above, and as an example, your average shade height is 6”, and you add 18” inches to it, garnering 24” for the height of your lamp.

3. Choose the best style of your shade

What shape and style do you prefer for your lighting appliance? This is a vital consideration. However, along with this, you have to take into account its use and functionality.

Is it a table lamp that you want to use while watching TV? In this case, you need something that will minimize the bright glare of the screen, such as an opaque shade, or one that has a darker color.

If you’re using a lamp to assist when you’re reading, choose that which has a semi-opaque shade, which is also suitable for lighting a room on the overall.

4. Buy the right bulb

Do you need lighting for proper reading? If so, you should get a 60 watts or more light bulb. If you prefer to purchase an energy-saving LED bulb, check its lumens output along with its comparable rating.

The wattage of your LED light bulb should be the same as the wattage of a regular incandescent lighting. To enjoy flexibility, you can choose a dimmable bulb. If it’s LEDs that you prefer, select a dimmable bulb, to differentiate from LED bulbs that are not.
