Ambience Table Lamps: Produce Ambience in Your Residence With Desk Lamps - Articles SurfingAmbience table lamps are making a comeback as the ultra-cool design accessory in the shabby chic decorating trend. So, consider getting into that attic or digging out that crawl space to unearth those antique table lamps that your grandma left to you. To learn how you can use antique or new table lamps to create ambiance and a cozy home feeling, keep reading for five great decorating ideas. Lighting for the Living Room Ambience table lamps in the living room serve two purposes - they're decorative and they offer functional lighting without the need to turn on the bright overhead light. For example, if one family member is reading a book, but another wants the light low to prevent a glare on the television, directed side table lighting is the ideal solution. For the right fit, look for table lamps that match your d'cor. Remember that you can often replace the lamp shades on most lamps and even make your own. Unless you're shooting for a design statement, opt for a pair of lamps that are functional and attractive, but not over the top. Table lamps are great for kid's rooms as bedside lamps. A small, shaded lamp is perfect for times when you need a little bit of light but don't want to switch on the harsh and bright ceiling light. For example, when it's time to wind down for bed and someone wants a story, a soft table light can be the best solution. Children who are afraid of the dark will also appreciate the subtle light that's provided by a bedside table lamp that can also be switched off from the bed rather than the wall outlet. Task Lighting Table lamps are great for task lighting. Anywhere you need directed and focused lighting that's close to your work surface, a table lamp can do the job and reduce strain on your eyes. If you're using a table lamp for task lighting, look for one that has a flexible head and neck, thus allowing you to direct the light on to your work surface. Design and Decorative Purposes Antique or refurbished lamps can be remarkably decorative and the perfect accent for a sideboard, dining room table or mantel. When turned on, they also offer a cozy glow, comparable to that provided by romantic candle light, but without the safety hazard. Desk Lamps Ambience table lamps are a much better office lighting solution than harsh overhead lights. The directed task lighting not only allows you to focus on your paperwork, but it can also reduce glare reflected from your monitor, thus preventing eye strain. Try two desk lamps instead of an overhead light and see the improvement for yourself. Though lighting that has the primary purpose of setting a home mood is certainly not going to replace your main lighting options, it is nevertheless an attractive alternative to standard room brightening methods. Their popularity is only likely to increase.
