How do you know which table lamp to choose?
Color and style are obviously important to match your décor, but start by thinking about what you’ll be using the table lamp for. Do you want to use the table lamp for task lighting, general lighting, or mood lighting?
Naturally, there are table lamps that meet all the requirements, but this is something you should take into account when choosing.
A desk lamp can have a huge impact on the mood in a room, so it's often a good idea to temporarily move a lamp from another room and place it in a room without a desk lamp.
When the ceiling light is turned off and only the table lamp is on, you will notice the difference. Place several table lamps at different heights to create a dynamic lighting environment.
For example, try placing a tall table lamp on a low coffee table and a smaller table lamp over a window in the room.
Modern table lamps to suit your decor
Colors and trends come and go. In general, pastel colors are becoming increasingly popular when it comes to lighting, but the color trend for table lamps is usually a bit more conservative. A classic white table lamp is still a safe bet that will suit most styles and home decors. At the same time, a gold table lamp can be the icing on the cake and provide the accents needed to elevate the decor.
Of course, there are table lamps in every price range - it all depends on your budget, style and needs. A successful strategy is usually to choose a few more expensive lamps or desk lamps that really stand out and then combine them with simpler, cheaper models. The result is usually great - it's like mixing old and new in your decorating style.

Where to install a table lamp?
The advantage of table lamps is that they can be changed infinitely. Depending on their appearance and shape, table lamps can be placed equally well on a table, on a bench or by a window.
Experiment with placing table lamps at different heights and angles. There is no right or wrong!
Table lamp that fits in the window
However, when looking for table lamps to place by the window, you should keep in mind that the shade should not be too large to fit on the windowsill. Choose a darker shade for a dimmer mood, and table lamps with directed light to illuminate something you particularly like. Table lamps can actually work great as desk lamps when you want to get directed light.
Is an LED desk lamp better than a halogen lamp?
LED is energy efficient and doesn’t get very hot, which minimizes the risk of burning yourself on your desk lamp. The quality of light from a desk lamp depends entirely on the type of light source you choose (LED or halogen). But in general, the quality of LED is now very good.
Can I use the desk lamp as a reading lamp?
Definitely! Opt for a desk lamp that can be directed like a table lamp. If you’ll be reading for longer periods of time, consider choosing a cooler/whiter light source that’s gentler on the eyes.
