Whether you’re looking for a little somethin’ something to place on your end table or looking to brighten up your room a bit, a traditional table lamp can help.
Even better, there are a multitude of styles to add to your cart online — especially if your smaller space can’t accommodate a floor lamp.
“We are seeing more trends in regard to lamp shades versus lamps, printed colorful pleated shades and Asian lantern-style globe shades rather than traditional linen or paper shades,” Meg Lonergan, principal of Meg Lonergan Interiors and interior designer, told the New York Post. “We like styling a lamp on a nightstand with a stack of books, some photo frames, something floral or green in a vase — simple is better.”
According to Lonergan, you’ll want to make sure the shade of your lamp is the right proportion to the scale of the lamp, as too small of a shade tends to make a lamp look awkward.
Additionally, the two extremes are in style: very small lamps or very big lamps, per Lonergan.
To help you illuminate your space in style, New York Post Shopping highlighted the best table lamps to pick up below.
