Floor lamps versus table lamps: Which reading lights do you prefer?

The classic arc lamp is a hot favourite for reading nooks, especially when placed behind a comfortable chaise lounge and side table. The tripod floor lamp is a close competitor, elevating the room’s overall symmetry while drawing attention to any surrounding artwork. Floor lamps also have the added advantage of not needing any surface space, which means you have more room for other nicknacks.

Table lamps, on the other hand, are more aesthetically derived from their immediate surroundings. They play supporting roles and - in their most functional sense - work quite well as study lamps. Consider these if you’re looking for reading lamps to support desk work.

Bedside lamps: Traditional versus modern

You can make a statement with dramatic bedside lamps suspended from the ceiling on both sides of the bed, or you could choose interesting lampshade options to dress up table lamps. The choice depends on your preferences. For instance, classic Tiffany lamps would make for a rather interesting bedside choice.

You could also broaden your lampshade horizons by choosing some more bedroom lamps, like perhaps one for a dressing table corner, or another one for a bedroom study.

As you browse more lamps online, you’ll also notice several variants that fit beautifully within different decor. For instance, Turkish lamps look great as outdoor lamps for the patio, verandah or even backyard bbq space.
