What types of desk and table lamps are available?
Desk and table lamps come in a wide range of styles designed for different purposes. Task lamps provide focused, adjustable lighting for reading, writing, or for days when you’re working from home. These usually sit on a desk. Ambient and decorative table lamps offer softer lighting for living rooms and bedrooms and are ideal for creating a cosy atmosphere. These are available in glass, metal, and fabric options to match your home décor. Of course, many decorative table and desk lamps are also functional for the best of both worlds.
Are table lamps functional or decorative?
Of course, you’ll also want your lamp to be functional too – especially if it’s a table lamp for the living room. If you’re reading a book or getting on with work, you’ll want a good amount of illumination and the ability to move your lamp around for the best lighting. Our range boasts a selection of functional and stylish table and desk lamps so you won’t have to compromise on either option.
Which style of desk lamp is right for my home?
Desk lamps will add to the aesthetic of your home. You might like a lantern-style lamp for a vintage feel which goes perfectly with traditional homes. Or, you could be leaning toward the contemporary with a marble effect lamps. Many offer slim silhouettes for a minimalist feel. We’re sure you’ll find the perfect table lamp in our range.
How do I arrange my table lamps?
The way you arrange your table lamps will depend on the size of your room. Two matching table lamps would look great in a bigger room whereas a small room would look great with a single, stand out table lamp. Though a table lamp should be no wider than the table it sits on, it can be tall to create a statement piece.
Where should a desk lamp be placed?
Place your desk lamp on the opposite side of your dominant hand so shadows don’t cover your work, to reduce eye strain and allow you a full range of movement. Make sure to place the cord at the back of the desk for a clear space too.
