QUESTION: Lamps are beautiful! How can I use them effectively in my home?

Lamps definitely create a sculptural quality to a room. Break up visual air spaces to help a room flow well together. Put a table and a lamp on a long wall to break up a room or add a tall lamp to divide a space, such as separating a living area from a dining area.
Lamps are great because they are portable. They are ideal for general, task and accent lighting and today’s lamps are available in every design, shape, texture, size, design and material imaginable.

Lamps create ambiance and vary a room's mood. They can create a flattering soft light, efficiently shine light on the task at hand, or showcase your favorite accessories.

When selecting a lamp, think proportions including the height, width, and size of the shade.
Don’t be afraid of size. People often 'under-scale' lamps. Tiny little lamps look amazing on a shelf yet look skimpy on a big table. Pay attention to your total surroundings.

Matching lamps are smart in settings such as a sofa table or fireplace mantel. However, designers are now mixing and matching lamps throughout rooms.

Lamps can be as much a source of art as they are a source of light. Clothing designers, furniture designers and artists from around the globe, are now influencing the trends and styles of lamps.
