Table lamps can be a great way to light a room, and are also used for decoration and style as well. Table lamps can be a little confusing, however, especially when deciding on the specifics, like what material it should be made from, how high from your end table it should be, and what kind of shade to use. The good news is that depending on your needs and wants and your personal style, you can choose the perfect lamp with little to no effort.

Table lamps are made from a variety of materials for different styles and looks. Metals like wrought iron or chrome are very popular and can be fun in any décor with the right shade. Other materials include hard plastic or ceramic like porcelain, and these are great for rooms that need an odd or eccentric color to match the design because they come in more brightly colored patterns. Another great option is to buy a wood table lamp – they come in several different types, grains, and colors, as well as many stains and painted woods.

Table lamps come in a variety of heights, and some even come with adjustable heights. Depending on how much you use your lamp for actual light versus style, you may want a table lamp that sits higher than average for the amount of light it could give to the room. Others love the look of a smaller, squatter lamp with more style because they have other means of lighting the room. This choice is completely one of your own, and varies from person to person and lamp to lamp.

As diverse and varying as table lamps can be, the shades are equally as diverse and varying. One very popular shade design is that of mica, a beautiful, very thin rock material that makes gorgeous colors when light passes through it. Other popular shade options include thousands of colors, gems or sequins, and even tassle-like trim for the shade. Though the actual lamp base is usually quite plain, the real décor and decoration comes with the shade.
