Table lamps bedroom lighting

Bedrooms usually do not need
much ambient light compared to your living room.  However, the lighting also depends on
activities you do in the bedroom.  For
example, if you have a computer or sewing machine in place, you may need some
work lights.  If you like to carry the
rest of your office work to the bedroom to complete, a nightstand lamp is
necessary.  For those who like to read
novels before going to bed, a bedside lamp will also be
useful.

Overall, it is obvious that a table lamp
is a must for all bedrooms because at least one or two activities are done in
the bedroom that require lighting. 
Your bedroom lighting table lamps relate to several things including
functionality and decoration.  This
means that the table and lamp selection process should be done with the
utmost care so as not to ruin the bedroom’s furnishings while facilitating
functionality.

Here is a simple guide to choosing
lamps for your table lamps bedroom lighting.

Measure
eye level distance from the table
top

Any table lamp must never
exceed your eye level.  This is
important for functionality.  Sit on
your bed or chair next to the side table and measure the distance from the
table surface to your eye level.  This
can be achieved with a little help. 
Let someone else take the measurements with a tape measure while you
remain.  The measured height will be
the height of your lamp.

Measure
the shadow length

Calculate the
table length to determine the length of the lampshade.  The shadow length should be between 65 and
80 percent of the table’s bottom length. 
For example, if the base length measures 16 inches, the shadow should
be about 10 to 15 inches.  You can also
determine the length of the screen by multiplying its height by a third
because the hue length is usually 1/3 of the height of the
lamp.

Measure the diameter of the
screen

The diameter of the
lampshade should be 2 inches smaller than the base length.  Choose nothing more than this.  For example, if your bedside table has a
base of 16 inches, the diameter of the lampshade should be 14 inches or less.  The length of the screen is listed from top
to bottom and the diameter is the widest part.  The width can also be the diameter of the
lamp.

Considering these factors in choosing the
right size of lamp for your table lamps bedroom project will ensure that the
size of the lamp creates a perfect match that fits well into your
decor.
