Decorating With Lamps
Everyone loves a shapely lamp with a wonderful finish. It doesn’t matter if it serves as a bathroom light, illumination for the bedroom, or even a quirky kitchen light, lamps are one decorating item that follows form and function! Lamps are light fixtures that can be placed on a side table, a desk or any flat surface to bring light to a dark corner, or to add light when you need it for reading, crafts or for a quiet evening of popcorn and moving-watching. They can be found at any home goods store, but also at antique marts and lighting stores as well.
A fabulous way to decorate with a set of lamps is to flank a desk with them:
If you don’t have room for an office, but need a space that functions like an office, consider using your dining room table. It’s the lamps that make it a desk.

What a great idea when you are entertaining for the weekend and you are worried that your guests won’t be able to see in the dark when they go for that second plate of late-night leftovers. Lamps have more character than, say, pendant lights.
The lamp in the foyer is always a staple in any home, but that doesn’t mean it has to be plain and boring:
This lamp is made of a natural antler and has unique interest. It works in this space because the vignette shows a natural table and an elegant wallcovering behind it. If one were to describe this lamp, it might be the same words – natural and elegant. Images 1 | 2 | 3
