Lamps and shades come in many different styles and sizes and can be an excellent source of light and decoration for any room. Lamps and shades go together like peanut butter and jelly, but luckily they can be switched around and interchangeable to change the look or freshen up a room. Depending on the type of lamp, a complimenting shade should be chosen that matches the rest of the room. Choosing the right lamps and shades should always start with the lamp's base. Floor lamps are usually much taller than other lamps and have large bases or pedestals. Floor lamps can cast light upwards to the ceiling or down, depending on the shade chosen to go with the base. These types of lamps and shades are great for placing beside a chair to shed light downwards for reading lights, or in a corner shining light up to the ceiling giving the room dimension. Table lamps and shades are the most popular and common type of lamp because they can be used just about anywhere. These lamps and shades need something to rest upon and should not be placed on the ground. They are designed to provide light at a table level and are a great option for beside the bed because they can be turned off right at the source. Table lamps can come in many styles including a tulip base, candle stick shaped base and an urn shaped base. Accent lamps and shades are very small and are meant to be decorative and attract the eye to a certain area of the room. These lamps and shades are usually stained glass, crystals or miniature table lamps and can be placed on a mantel, countertop or bookshelf. Buffet lamps are similar in that they are for decoration, but different because they are usually sold in pairs and are used to surround artwork, a mirror, or to be placed between books or pictures on a table. Wall lamps are popular in bathrooms and bedrooms because they are mounted directly onto the wall and usually have a swinging arm that allows the user to pull it out and point it wherever needed. This makes it nice to have just the right amount of light available where you need it when getting ready in the bathroom or reading late at night on your bed. There are so many different types of designs and shapes that lamps and shades can come in, and choosing the right ones comes down to personal taste and matching the rest of the d?cor of your home. Lamps and shades can come in Victorian styles, with ornate bases and fancy shades with elaborate designs or tassels. Contemporary styles are great because they have plain sharp lines and edges, which can offer a more modern and clean look. If you are looking for a cozier and relaxing, lamps and shades can come in a country style with iron work, wooden bases, and even rooster designs. Lamps and shades can come in many shapes and sizes and it can be difficult knowing which type to choose. Keep in mind your many options, and choose one that you feel looks best.
