Make your home glow when you buy stylish lamps for every room. Whether you want to make a corner cozy with reading lamps or place matching table lamps in your living room, it's easy to warm up the whole house with the right light. Read on for tips on decorating your home with lamps.
Stick to the theme of the room. If your living room is decorated with vintage furniture, antique lamps will make excellent accent pieces; likewise, a minimalist bedroom will benefit from sleek contemporary lamps. Think about where you'll put your table lamps before you buy them, since they may clash with other furniture or colors in your home.
Tie elements together. To create a unified look, buy lamps that are about the same size, shape, height and color. Make even the most unique lamps fit with your home's decor by looking for styles that incorporate similar colors or patterns, and place them on matching side tables for a clean look.
Enhance existing light. Make your living room or family room brighter with a few floor lamps. Look for styles with flexible necks that can double as reading lamps when you're flipping through a magazine, or buy torchiere-style floor lamps for a more sophisticated look. Be sure to buy lamps that have sturdy bases and consider propping them behind a couch or in a corner to avoid damage.
Sleep on it. Enhance your bedroom with a pair of bedside lamps on side tables or nightstands. Find matching styles for a classic look, or buy antique lamps that fit your style for an eclectic vibe. Make sure your bedside lamps are bright and positioned close to your bed if you plan to read at night.
Accent your entryway. Impress guests when they arrive with contemporary lamps in the hallway or entryway. The soft glow of modern lamps and a few artfully placed photographs will create an inviting impression.
Create a sanctuary. If you have an empty corner in your home, why not make it into a reading nook with a couple of unique lamps? Place a comfortable armchair, ottoman and throw pillows in the corner, add a side table and choose between antique lamps or colorful reading lamps. Add a soft throw blanket and curl up with a good read.
