Table Lamps & Statement Stands

Maximize your table lamp’s decorative and functional value. Here’s how:

Begin with selecting a bold table lamp, featuring either sculptural details, artisanal elements or textured bases. Opt for shades that also incorporate texture or have a statement design, pattern, color or interesting shape or edging (like scallop or fringe).

Then, choose the foundation on which your lamp is displayed, whether an end or side table, hallway console table, sideboard, etc. Complete the overall look of your lamp’s setting by including accents or decorative pieces to bring your personality full-circle.

Decorative lamps are not only visual focal points but also functional household accessories, supplying ambient or task lighting depending on your needs and placement. Good lighting is imperative and so is creating a space you’re proud of, so keep the conversation going whether the light is on or off.
