table lamps modern time

Today’s times see table lamps,
modern art emulsified.  We see such
simple and yet elegant styles that just scream to be
bought.

The height of the lamp is very
important.  Shorts are most often used
in bedrooms while taller in the living room. 
A rule of thumb that must be followed is that the bottom of the shadow
should be at eye level when we sit next to it.  Therefore, we can enjoy the light without
getting annoyed by it.

The width of the lamp is
also important.  For an appealing and
charming look, the lampshade should not be wider than the table on which it
sits.  The base footprint should also
be considered.  We should also think
about the other items that need to be put on the
table.

Usually the shade of the lamp wears
out.  When we replace it, we have to
make sure that the new shade not only looks good but also fits the base well.  Neutral colors usually go well with all
kinds of bases.

If we need both ambient light
and reading light, we must choose table lamps with bright colors or white.  Diffused light comes through the side and
the strong light goes up and bounces off the ceiling for an ambient
look.  The light also comes from the
bottom which is perfect for reading. 
Lamps with opaque shades would give a more dramatic
effect.

Purpose of table
lamps

A table lamp is mostly to provide local
lighting or sometimes for the sake of the atmosphere as perhaps a generic
decorative lamp.  They are most needed
to illuminate the immediate area and therefore do not have to be too
large.  It must be carefully and
artistically designed around the reflector so that the light is spread
properly.  The height and appearance of
the lamp must also be chosen carefully based on interior design and
furniture.

Tips for buying table
lamps

When we bought table lamps with a modern
style, we could keep the following tips in
mind:

Table lamps and Feng
Shui

Light is an important part of
creating a home with a balanced chi.  A
dark home tends to have yin energy. 
Skylights and windows can help, but where there is not enough
ventilation, we can fix it with the right lighting in our rooms.  We can add more table lamps to introduce
more yang energy.

Table lamps that are a popular
choice among people are readily available in markets.  In the US, Ikea and Lamps’ US is a common
choice, while in the UK Argos and John Lewis are popular.
