Lamps Are ornamental And Functional Too

Lamps Are ornamental And Functional Too


Many habitancy don't think twice about the lamps and lights in their home. When you're trying to spruce up your decor though, or creating a brand new decorating theme, one of the best places to start is with lamps... Because they can be both beautiful and functional at the same time.

Here are some popular types of lamps to reconsider when decorating a room in your home:

Table Lamps - Table lamps are marvelous for both decorating and functionality. They come in a variety of sizes and styles, and can surely accent specialty decor pieces you might already have. Small table lamps are quite decorative when sat upon a stack of hardback books, and large table lamps make great centerpieces for greenery, knick knack arrangements, or keepsakes.


You'll want to be rigorous not to overwhelm small, dainty tables with large, bulky, overbearing lamps though. A solid rustic wood table would surely carry a large wood table lamp, but a small victorian-style side table would do best with a delicate-looking tiffany or hurricane table lamp.

Floor Lamps - Floor lamps are excellent for adding both additional light and style to varied areas of your home. I particularly like them in reading areas. Place a nice comfortable chair or divan in the angle for instance, away from the walls a bit, then place a decorative floor lamp in the angle space behind it. This will create a cozy, inviting feel to the space while also providing extra light for reading, writing, or knitting.

Wall Lamps & Lights - Lighting used on the wall varies in style. There's recessed lights which are helpful and decorative in kitchen areas or bathrooms for instance, and there are wall sconces which are marvelous for adding warmth and ambiance.

For a unique and separate look, try creating a wall arrangement using wall sconces instead of candelabras or candle sconces.

Picture Lights - photo lights are used primarily to highlight pictures and artwork in your home. These work similar to spotlights by focusing the majority of their light on the artwork. Most are very decorative, and they come in a variety of styles to match anyone your decorating theme might be.

Oil Lamps - Oil lamps can still be bought in many places today. Some are replicas, meaning they don't actual burn oil to create light, they naturally look like the oil lamps of old. Others surely do have a wick and can burn oil. Most habitancy use the actual oil burning lamps for ornament only, and you can even buy colored oil to fill the lamps for an additional decorative touch.
