Which Type of Lamp Should You Buy?

By Bret Medina


The choices that are available make the task of buying a new lamp complicated. The lamp you choose should provide good light and look great in your home.

You also don't want to spend more than you have to. To make the lamp buying process easier follow these tips.

The shade is a vital piece of the lamp, not just from the decorative perspective, but also when it comes to the amount of light it puts out. The shape of the shade will also have an impact on how the lamp illuminates a room. A shade with a light color will create more light, while a shade with a dark color will reduce the amount of light emitted into the room. Of course, the shade has to go with the rest of the lamp, so you have to consider what kind of shade will provide the best kind of light for the room you need it for. You wouldn't, as an illustration, want to buy a jazzy lamp with a black shade you have really like the looks of, but then discover that it doesn't put out nearly the amount of light you need in your room.

Antique lamps or old fashioned styles can be located easier at antique shops and auctions or estate sales if that's the route you choose to take. You have many time periods and locations to choose from when seeking antique styles. If you have a house full of antique furnishings it's a great idea to match your lamps to that. Don't buy a lamp until you know it actually works. If you take a chance onan online auction site be sure your seller has a good rating so that you don't get ripped off. Don't buy a cheap knock off for alot of money, make sure it's authentic and it's value is appraised properly.

Functionality of the lamp is important. You'll want to think about the room the lamp it going into, from where you will put it, to how much light it will add to the room itself. Placement of the new lamp is important.

The above principles should be considered when buying a new lamp for your home.
