Are you considering buying a table lamp but not sure if you really need it? Or are you just wondering why to have a table lamp when you already have bright ceiling lights illuminating every nook and corner of the house? In this article, we will see some key obvious and not-so-obvious benefits of having a table lamp.
- Mellow Light: Generally, the table lamp light is not too bright and thus helpful at night when you want to read or do any other thing in a relaxed way with just enough light which is not too straining on the eyes.
Also suitable for children who don’t like to sleep in the dark or old people who have trouble walking or fear bumping into something in the dark at night. - Easy access: A table lamp near the bed can be turned off/on by just stretching your arm. How often had you felt sleepy while reading something, and then you had to leave the bed and walk across the room just to turn off the ceiling lights? Well, with a table lamp, you can make that reading to sleeping transition effortless.
- Light is confined to a small area: Just enough light to help you get your thing done without disturbing anyone else in the room. Also, since everything around you is dark and only your activity area is illuminated, it may help you focus better.
- Look gorgeous: Table lamps take the beauty of the interiors to the next level. They look absolutely wonderful, add to the room’s aesthetics and help give a special touch to the room’s decoration while helping you express your personality.
A table lamp definitely sings one of the sweetest tunes in the symphony of room ambiance. - Attract or avoid attention to a certain part of the room: The placement of the table lamp can help you bring attention to a specific area or thing in the room.
You can have curtains and a table lamp with matching colors or designs, thus bringing attention to each other’s beauty, for example. You can also place a table lamp to throw light in a specific direction to take attention away from a stained wall or worn-out furniture. - Get that room theme accurate: You may want that vintage or rustic theme, Disney theme, or beach theme for your room. Apart from getting the wall color and curtains on point, one also needs to get the lights and furniture right to suit the theme.
Today, table lamps are available in all kinds of shapes, colors, and styles. And they can fit your room theme like a hand in a glove.
Maybe a light-pink ‘Shell and mermaid’ lamp, a Mickey mouse lamp, or a lamp in the shape of Aladdin’s lamp can help you score 10/10 when it comes to having a Disney-themed room.
A table lamp with its stick in the shape of a surfboard or made in the shape of pebbles on top of each other or any other style is all you need to get that coastal/beach theme right.
Thus, table lamps are small and do not seem to be critical in terms of functionality, but just like an earring or a watch (which you don’t need to see the time when you have a phone with you), it does complete the look and helps you show your personality and add that subtle charm to your look. Hope you enjoyed reading the above key benefits of a table lamp. So are you going to buy one for your room?
