Which light is best for table lamps?
Choosing the right light bulbs can make or break your table lamps (literally). Make sure you are choosing the right voltage bulbs for your lamp base and then select a light colour. Yellow or warm white usually works better for bedrooms or living rooms, while white lightbulbs are better suited for desk lamps or table lights.
Whether you go for an exposed lightbulb for a contemporary industrial style, or dimmable LED lights for some mood lighting, it’s crucial to find a lightbulb that goes with your lamp base, lampshade and room style.
How do I find the right table lamp for me?
When choosing a table lamp, the first thing you need to consider is purpose and functionality. Are you looking for a desk lamp to help illuminate your home office? Are you looking for some mood lighting in the bedroom, new reading lamps so you can tuck into a good book or maybe a statement design piece to add a pop of colour to your dressing tables or accentuate your dining table and tableware.
These days, bedside lighting comes with a vast range of functionality too. They can be dimmable; touch or sound activated and can even help lift your mood – so be sure to choose the functions that work for your lifestyle.
