Contemporary Table Lamps - Choosing The Right One - 2

...Big and bold always makes a great statement but if your living room is on the smaller size you don't want to crowd the room with lamps. Two lamps is always a nice balance but the lamps do not have to match. You might even try opposites for the heck of it. Makes a nice contrast.

Your shades are as important as your lamp style. Choose shades that either compliment your dcor or create an accent and focal point. Pewter lamps are very popular this season and if you have a look at some of the designs you'll see why.

3. Dining Room

Often a single lamp is ample for a dining room unless you have a relatively large one. You can use an contemporary lamp in a corner on a small corner table to add ambiance to a room. You can also place it in a somewhat higher location that strategically throws an accent lighting.

If you have a chandelier in the room you might consider a complimenting lamp. If you have a crystal chandelier consider purchase a couple of the miniature crystal table lamps to place in two opposite corners of the room or on a sideboard. They look great!

4. Family Room

A family room is a great place to have some fun with your lamps. You can choose big, bold, funky lamps if you like and you can go crazy with the shades. If your family room is themed why not consider carrying the theme into your lamps. Generally 2 large lamps are adequate but of course that depends on the size of the room. You might also compliment with some floor lamps.

Contemporary table lamps are the perfect addition to almost any room.
