Small table lamps for small tables

Lamps are a great way to enhance
the lighting in a room while adding to the decor and atmosphere of your
home.  Buying a small table lamp is
always fun, but sometimes you just want a new lampshade for your existing
lamp.  Lampshades come in a variety of
colors, shapes and sizes and it often gets a little stressful to choose the
right one.  Small table lamps can be
placed on your bedside tables or on the side tables in your living room.  Small table lamps are sometimes used to
mark a work of art or a decorative
object.

Fittings for small
lampshades

There are different
types of fittings but two types of light bulb clamps that are often used in
table lamps.  The two light bulb clamps
are the long and narrow light bulb clamp and the regular clip that is more
rounded in shape.  The luminaires
include washing machine, chimney fitter, reflector bowl fitter, euro fitter
and sanding or threaded UNO fitter.

Choose
the right shape of the shade for a small table
lamp

There are some general rules
when choosing a shade for a table lamp, but there are also exceptions.  A round lamp with a round bottom should
have a round lampshade while a square bottom looks good with a square
shade.  The same applies to the size,
smaller shade for a smaller base and a larger shade for a larger base.  If you are replacing an old lampshade, it
is best to take exact measurements of your old screen by checking the length
and diameter and then buying a new shade with the same
dimensions.

Lampshade
pattern

Once you have decided on
the size of the lampshade, you can choose a pattern from the large
selection.  When it comes to a
decorative lamp with a lot of color, a subtle shade that matches one of the
lamp’s colors will give a distinct look. 
If the bottom of the lamp is smooth, try a shade in a light color or
one with a little ornament or a fringe. 
Vivid colorful shades on oriental lamps can add a little color to your
room.  Art glass shades and Tiffany
shades can add a little class and style to your home due to their unique
look.  Lampshades come in countless
shapes and sizes in plastic, fabric and
glass.

Having small table screens is thus a great
way to provide lighting options and add color to your home.  A new lampshade can bring new life to your
lamp and your room as well.
