Before you decide on the style you’re searching for, we recommend considering a few practical points when it comes to choosing a table lamp for your home. First, think about the size of your space. Does the lamp need to fit on top of a slim console in the hallway? Or have you got more room for a large table lamp on a wide sideboard? As a general rule, the widest part of the table lamp should be less than the width of the surface it’s sitting on. This means it will sit centrally on the table and bring a balance to the space.
The height of the lamp is also key to getting the overall look just right. If your lamp is too short, then the shade may not appear to cover the bulb and inner frame and less light will be diffused around the room. To avoid this, the bottom of the lampshade should always rest at or below eye level. For example, if your new lamp is placed on a side table in the living room, then the bottom of the shade should be at eye level when you’re sitting on your sofa. This will shield your eyes from the lightbulb’s glare and hide the shade’s frame from view.
Matching your lamp with the perfect lightbulb is the best way to set the mood in a room. If your table lamp is going into a bedroom or sitting room then one with a warm glow will create a cosy, relaxed atmosphere which encourages you to unwind. Whereas in areas such as a home office, you’re more likely to use your table lamp as a task light and will benefit from a bright white bulb.
Finally, it’s time to consider the part we love most – the style. We recommend picking a lamp which both complements the look of your home as it is now yet also stands the test of time. If you’re drawn to pared-back designs such as Scandinavian style or a cultural fusion like Japandi, then choose a table lamp and shade with a subtle palette of light, neutral tones and natural textures including pale wood, organically shaped ceramic, and soft cotton or linen. For those searching for a bolder style, try a large stand-out lamp base made from coloured glass paired with a jewel velvet shade or one of our signature animal lights for unique maximalist appeal.

Lamps are as much a decorative feature as they are a practical lighting fixture. When choosing a table lamp, it is important to consider a style that compliments your decor. Is your home modern or traditional? Eclectic or minimalist? Sleek black table lamps and brass desk lamps are perfect for a modern interior, whereas a traditional home would suit a classic wooden table lamp or ceramic based lamp. If your style is a softer bohemian space, a rattan lamp would be perfect. If you’re buying more than one table lamp for a room, choose lamps with similar colours or shapes that tie together, without having to match exactly.
It is easy to jump into buying a table lamp you love without measuring the space you’re intending to have it which can result in a lamp that looks out of proportion to its surroundings. Make sure you’ve thought about the lamp location and the space available for the lamp shade and base. A huge lamp will look disproportionate on a small bedside table – it would be best to pick a lamp with a slender base. Similarly, a small lamp could look lost in a large room, so go for a standout style that can act as an eye-catching focal point.
Living room lamps offer a softer light than the main light fixture within the room. They create a warm and cosy atmosphere on an evening when relaxation is key. Most living rooms benefit from having a few table lamps dotted around the room. Place one next to your sofa or armchair to create a well lit sitting area or add one to your bookcase or shelving unit to enhance your decor.
The light in a bedroom should be soft and diffused. Place the lamp on your bedside table so it is easy to turn off when you want to go to sleep. Having one on each side will result in a balanced look and ensure the lighting is well distributed around the room. It is also important to consider the height of your bedside table lamp – you want the bottom of the lamp to be at eye level so the light is shining onto your lap, not into your eyes. A bedside table is normally home to many home accessories, so it might be wise to choose a small table lamp that allows space for clocks, trinkets and other bits and bobs.
Size and adjustability are key when choosing a lamp for your desk. Look for desk lamps which have the functionality to swivel and include adjustable arms – this means you can really target the light for those important tasks on your to-do list. Additional table lamps can be placed around the room, on side tables and shelves, to create a relaxed atmosphere for working.
