The Beauty Of Brass Lamps - 2

...Now that's about as vague as it gets right. If you have a pair of lamps then keep your pair together. If you have more than one pair in the room that's great too. When it comes to lamps it's rather like women and shoes. You can never have too many pairs! Pairs create balance.

But odd lamps are also great. Odd lamps can give a room character and they can throw the balance off. Yes there are times when you want to do just that! You can also create balance with lamps that don't match by matching shades. Another trick is to take a pair of figurines, urns, or any other matching dcor and place one with each lamp which will give you balance.

Brass is also easy to take care of. You can just dust with a soft cloth regularly. Manufacturers recommend microfiber cloths. When the metal begins to loose its shine use brass cleaner to restore it. If the brass is looking less brassy apply a light application of furniture polish.

Often brass is coated with lacquer to make maintenance easier and slow down tarnishing. Don't use brass cleaner on a lacquer surface just clean with warm soapy water. You can use warm soap and water to clean glass shades, and fabric shades can be wiped with a damp cloth.

Decorating with brass lamps is a great way to add warmth, character, and class to your room at affordable prices and with little maintenance.

Not everyone knows all about the many styles of lamps that you can choose from. Many even forget that there is such a thing as wall lamps, and do not even think of floor lamps when they are decorating. Be sure that you know all of your options when you are lamp shopping.
