Add Layers of Light with Lamps

Floor lamps and table lamps add layers of lighting to living rooms, bedrooms, and sitting areas throughout the home. Various shapes, styles, and finishes make it easy to find one that will provide the functionality you need while adding a touch of style to the space.

Choose a Lamp Style

The first step in choosing lights is to look around the room and consider the needs of the space. Look for dark corners, plants that aren't thriving, or areas that require additional task lighting. This information will help determine which styles of lights are needed to complete the room design.

Table Lamp

No nightstand or side table is complete without a table lamp for added light and a touch of style.

Floor Lamp

A strategically placed floor lamp can add task lighting over a sofa, brighten up a dark corner, or complete a small sitting area. These free-standing lights don't require a table and are commonly used in conjunction with a houseplant, ensuring it receives the right amount of light.

Desk Lamps

Work areas require desk lamps that provide task lighting. The right light on a book or paper helps to reduce eye strain, especially in poorly lighted work environments.

Lamp Sets

When it comes to lighting a pair of nightstands or a complete room, lamp sets make a great option. They offer the same style, finish, and shades on multiple pieces, allowing you to disperse the light around a large space with peace of mind that the whole room will match.

Specialty Lamps

Accent lights, piano lights, spotlights, and novelty lights are all versions of specialty lights designed to add intense style or a direct purpose to a room.

Outdoor Lamps

Make sun-rooms, decks, and patios more inviting once the sun goes down by illuminating them with outdoor lamps. These lamps offer the same chic styles as an indoor space but provide the durability necessary to hold up to the elements.

Selecting Lamps by Style

Every home and office has a distinct style. Coastal cottages, mountain lodges, and urban lofts are just a few of the styles that may define a space. Keep the look of the room continuous by opting for lamps that are inspired by those designs. One of the easiest ways to narrow your search is by selecting the overall style of the space and looking for lamps in that collection that speak to your aesthetic.

Shop by Finish

The color scheme of your home is a great way to influence the colors of the lamps you select. Metallic finishes, colorful Tiffany shades, and a rainbow of ceramic details ensure that there is no interior design color that can't be reinforced with the room's lighting.

Some of the most popular lamp finishes include:

Bronze
Nickel
Black
White
Brass
Glass
Blue
Green

Consider Bulb Color and Type

Every light requires a bulb. The type of bulb a lamp takes can drastically affect the look of the space. Cool white bulbs provide a modern look while softer white bulbs feel a little more relaxing and welcoming.

Bulb types also vary by the amount of energy they use. Incandescent bulbs are some of the most economical and common bulb type. When environmentally friendly design is a focus, the LED bulb is the best option. LED bulbs operate on a fraction of the energy used by a standard incandescent bulb, and can provide many years of use, more than offsetting the initial cost difference of the bulb.
