Frequently Asked Questions

How big should a lamp be over a table?

The size of the table lamp depends on the size of the table. A good rule of thumb for height is that the lamp should be about half to two-thirds the height of the table. For instance, on a standard side table that is 24 inches high, a lamp standing between 12 and 16 inches tall typically looks balanced. Additionally, the lamp's base and shade should harmonize with the table's width; the shade’s diameter is often best when it is one-third to one-half the width of the table to avoid overwhelming or appearing too small.

How do I ensure my table lamp complements other lighting in the room?

The table lamp should harmonize with other light fixtures in terms of style and color temperature. Using similar materials or finishes can create a cohesive look, while varied lamp heights can add visual interest.

How do I choose the right shade for my table lamp?

The shade should complement both the lamp base and the room's dΓ©cor. A wider shade is best for ambient lighting, while a narrow shade can focus light downward for tasks like reading.

Are there battery-operated table lamps?

Yes, absolutely! Go to our "View all" filters, then click on "Installation", and then choose "Battery". This will show you our modern table lamps that do not require a cord.

I have a modern space how can I use table lamps?

In a modern minimalist space, table lamps should embody simplicity and clean lines. Opt for lamps with sleek, unobtrusive designs and neutral colors like black, white, or metallic finishes. The focus should be on form and function, with lamps that blend seamlessly into the room’s decor while providing effective lighting.

Where should table lamps be placed in a living room?

Table lamps are commonly placed on side tables next to sofas or armchairs. They can also be positioned on console tables or shelves to add layers of light and create a warm, inviting atmosphere.

What are the current trends in table lamp design?

Current trends include a return to natural materials like wood and stone, as well as bold, sculptural bases that serve as art pieces. Mixed materials, such as metal with glass or fabric, are also popular, offering both texture and visual appeal.

What type of bulb is best for a table lamp?

LED bulbs are recommended for table lamps due to their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and availability in various color temperatures. They can create both warm and cool lighting effects depending on your needs.

What considerations should be made when placing table lamps on a desk or workspace?

When placing table lamps on a desk or workspace, it’s important to choose a lamp that provides sufficient task lighting without causing glare on screens or documents. Adjustable lamps with a focused beam are ideal, allowing you to direct light exactly where it’s needed. Additionally, the lamp should be positioned on the opposite side of your dominant hand to prevent shadows while writing or working.

Table lamps are an excellent choice for task lighting and they can be used almost everywhere - from bedrooms and living rooms to patios and gardens. Purchasing the right table lamp for you is not a difficult task as they are very versatile and can be moved around whenever you get bored of them.

Let's see how to choose the right table lamp for your space and how to place them. Plus, we have some extra tips about cords at the end of the article.

Bedside table lamps

One of the most common uses for table lamps is at the bedside table. Table lamps are perfect for the bedside table because they provide enough light before you go to sleep, if you want to read a book, or even if you like to have some lights on while sleeping.

Since the bedside table is usually not so large, choose a table lamp that will fit without taking up too much space. The one negative about table lamps is space usage so make sure they don't make your life harder.

One of the positives of having a bedside table lamp is that the switch is easily accessible from your side of the bed, meaning you have ultimate and easy control over your light.

Consider dimmable LED table lamps so that you can adjust the brightness depending on your mood and sleepiness. Warmer color temperatures and a lower brightness are more conducive to sleep.

Table lamps for living room

Table lamps in the living room are also used for task lighting. Place them near an area where you need light to perform a certain action, such as playing a board game.

For the living room, we suggest going for cordless table lamps because you can easily move them around and place them exactly where you need them the most.

In contrast to bedside table lamps, table lamps in the living room need to be more versatile and movable.

What shade should I use with my table lamp?

The good thing about table lamps is their versatility regarding lamp shades. You can simply switch out a shade and have a transformed lamp that gives a different feeling to the entire space.

Lighter fabrics or translucent materials will allow more light to pass through, creating a softer, more diffused light. This is best for activities like reading, although be sure to use a drum or cone-shaped shade, which helps focus light on the area beneath the lamp. Darker shades or opaque materials will focus the light downward, creating a more focused environment. This creates more drama in a space and makes your table pop.

How to hide the cords

If you want to hide those unsightly cords, we suggest using command clips that are usually used for hanging items on the wall. These can be placed on the back side of your table and help guide the cord to the plug without it being seen.

Just remember to use them alternately one facing upwards and one facing downwards so that they keep the cord securely in place.

Using these command clips, you can hide the cord behind the table/furniture while still keeping the switch accessible.

Also, If you are redoing your room, consider installing recessed floor outlets (especially useful in big rooms). They are an excellent choice to plug in floor/table lamps next to the sofa and even for charging your devices!
