Bedroom Lamps

Whether bright or subtle, light creates a mood and illuminates an area. And lamps are the means by which light is projected. Choosing the right lamp for an area can be an art. But you don’t have to be a Picasso to paint a room with eye-appealing light.
 
First, look around your bedroom:
 
  • Is the area to be illuminated large or small?
  • Is a lamp primarily to create a mood or provide needed light, or both?
  • Is a dresser, bedside table or corner of the room where a lamp – or more than one lamp – is needed?
  • Would a particular color, finish or style of a lamp complement the surroundings?
  • Would a tall or short lamp work best in a particular area?
  • Is an electrical outlet accessible in the area you want a lamp?
 
Next, think about the style of your bedroom.
 
  • Is it classic, casual or contemporary?
  • Does it tend to be formal or informal?
 
Now you’re ready to consider your options in bedroom lamps.
 
Basically, bedroom lamps come in 2 styles:
  • Classic
  • Contemporary
 
Classic Lamps
 
They can include:
  • Oval base with two poles – Available in a floor lamp
  • Hand-forged metal
  • Bronze table
  • Candelabra design
  • Candle-stand table
  • Urn accent or table
  • Brass table
  • Upright table
  • Buffet table
  • Glass table
  • Vintage table
 
Contemporary Lamps
 
They can include:
  • Hourglass table
  • Glass bubble table
  • Wood table with finial
  • Striped ceramic table
  • Mottled glass table
  • Crystal table with chrome base
  • Four-piece table
  • Cracked porcelain
  • Steel or metal pole
 
The beauty of lamps is that a style is not limited to a specific décor. Try a classic-style lamp in a contemporary-style bedroom, and vice versa. It can add drama and interest to a bedroom while providing just the right shade of lighting.
 
Lamp Shades
 
Speaking of shade, lamp shades are the other important component of lighting. They can create a brighter or softer effect by their design and by the material they’re made of.
 
Generally, lamp shades are made of 1 of 3 types of materials:
  • Paper
  • Fabric
  • Glass
 
Paper shades
 
  • Soft-back material
  • Hardback material
 
Fabric shades
 
  • Pleated natural/poly cotton
  • Silk
  • 100% cotton
  • Brussels linen
  • Suede
 
Glass shades
 
  • Clear
  • Frosted

By considering all these factors about lamps, you’ll be able to shed the right amount of light in – and set the right mood for – your bedroom.
