When decorating your home, it becomes obvious that even the smallest details play an important role. The style, theme and color scheme of the room largely depend on the correct lighting scheme, which creates the desired atmosphere. You don’t have to change the decor in the room, but simply change the lighting, and achieve incredible changes in the mood of the room. The right lighting lends a charm, a modern look and also provides versatility.

First you need to determine what you need. It is worth starting by choosing a place where the table lamp will stand, you need to determine the height at which it will be located, at what distance from the bed, sofa, chair or wall. To get started, you can buy one lamp and try to install it in different parts of the room. If you liked the transformations, then it remains to draw a conclusion about the type and number of table lamps that are worth buying. Perhaps you don’t need to buy such a bright lamp for the bedroom as for the living room.!

It is difficult to determine the height of a table lamp, whether it will suit the style and decor of the room. If the bedside table is high, then it is better to choose a low table lamp, and if the table is low, then vice versa. The lamp shade should be at eye level so that the lamp light does not dazzle.
Playing with styles

Different table lamps in the bedroom
Most often, the lampshade is responsible for the style of the table lamp, but it also happens that the body is too. The world of table lamps is very diverse and there is always the option to choose between a Hollywood modern style model or a classic luxury bourgeois lamp. The variety means that you can find the right lamp for your individual requirements. There is an option for using a table lamp for decoration in a completely different style than a room, thus, it will become a highlight of the interior.
World of color

Walls with neutral colors without bright elements are a great backdrop for any modern decor. In this case, a table lamp will make it possible to play not only with light, but also with color. Multicolor lamps allow you to add absolutely any shade to the decor, and copper models or gilded in an industrial style will add charm and add texture.

When choosing a table lamp, it will be correct to pay attention to the lampshade and its size. Do not limit yourself to just choosing the style of a table lamp or a pattern on a lampshade; you should definitely pay attention to ergonomics and proportions. The diameter of the lampshade should be at least 5 cm less than its height. The narrower the lampshade, the smaller the area that it illuminates, this also needs to be borne in mind when buying.
Attention to detail

Lamps are different …
Most table lamps are designed so that the lampshade can be changed at will. We need to check this feature back in the store. Many table lamps use old style bulbs. It is better to change them to LED, in addition to aesthetic pleasure, it will be possible to save on electricity bills. But not all models can change the light bulb, so you need to study all the details before buying.
Combinations and combinations

A table lamp should not only match the style, but it should also complement the decor, help provide lighting at several levels. These can be built-in lamps that create a general mood, light accents that highlight the architectural features of a room or art objects, or functional lighting. For a more perfect and original image, you need to combine, for example, two table lamps completely different in style, suitable in color or geometric shape, in order to give a clear symmetry of the room a certain whimsy.
But for those who like to read in bed, table lamps may not be the best helpers. For them there are completely different, special and very original models of lamps, which you need to look at.
