These tall lamps are extremely versatile and may be used to light the entire room, augment overhead lighting or provide much-needed reading light. Due to their large scale, they’re often placed in the corner or behind sofas and lounge chairs.
Lighting
Lamp Buying Guide – Wall Lamps
Wall lamps, for our purposes, provide both task and ambient light, and are much more substantial in design and function. They may or may not have shades, but most can be used around seating areas or tables where you need direct light.
Lamp Buying Guide – Shades
Shades have functional responsibilities, but they also add character and can reinforce the decor style and create a cohesive look. Lamps often come with coordinating shades, but you may have an option to swap them out.
Lamp Buying Guide – Light Bulbs & Features
Just like lamps and shades, bulbs are available in many varieties. Your lamp will have bulb limitations, such as the plug/base type and the maximum allowable wattage.
How to illuminate your spaces using outdoor lights
Around a fourth of us are night owls, but you can bet that many more of us enjoy time outside after the sun goes down. Plus, wintertime cuts down on daylight hours, forcing us inside earlier at earlier hours. This can be a shame when we want to revel in our outdoor areas, especially if it’s pitch black or poorly lit. It’s silly, but you can easily solve this problem by adding a few outdoor lights. And as a bonus, it’ll enhance your home’s aesthetics, making it the most magical one around.
