Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best table lamp options for end tables and side tables?

Side table lamps should be in scale to the furniture they are placed on. For end tables (typically 24-26"), look for lamps that are between 24-27" total height, and ensure that the height of the shade does not exceed the dimensions of the table's surface area. There are many styles to choose from, such as chrome or metal, ceramic with fabric shade, and even battery operated or cordless options! Keep in mind the tone of the room; are you adding an accent light for a desired ambiance, or is the lamp to serve as a task light for reading?

How do I choose a table lamp shade?

When selecting a lamp shade for table lamps, you want to select designs that go with the lamp base, and style of your room. Ideally, the bottom diameter of the shade will be approximately 2" away from the widest part of the lamp's base. If the lamp is a table lamp where reading will be the primary task, I would suggest a white or light colour lamp shade that reflects the light downward. In addition, fabric lamp shades are a warmer colour light source than glass or metal shades, the former create a diffused light source while glass or metal shades create a clear bright directed light source when on. When selecting the shades, be sure to check the shade height compared to the lamp base, which is generally 60-70% height of the base.

What are cordless table lamps, and how long do they last?

Cordless table lamps are commonly battery powered light sources, and eliminate the restrictiveness of finding a placement for the lamp with respect to a power outlet. The newer designs of the cordless table lamps will last anywhere from 8 -12 hours of continuous use after a 6-8 hour charge (a few hi-end designs boast 24-hour continuous use). Cordless table lamps are the perfect solution for:

  • Outdoor dining
  • Bedtime reading
  • Limited locations with power outlet access
Most have LED colours and USB charging.

What size table lamp is best for small spaces and apartments?

Small table lamps are a great choice for tight spaces, studio apartments, and minimalist styles (typically between 12-18" tall). When shopping for small table lamps, look for the following features:

  • A small footprint and slim profile
  • Clear glass or acrylic bases that won't overpower small-scale furniture
  • Adjustable table lamps
Small table lamps can fit perfectly on narrow console tables, floating nightstands, and desk surfaces. Small space and apartments can benefit from multi-functional table lamps (like table lamps with USB ports or wireless charging bases).

How should I position table lamps in the bedroom to deliver the best light?

For use in the bedroom, table lamps need to be placed roughly 24-27" above the level of your mattress for comfortable reading. When positioning bedside table lamps:

  • Go slightly off-center and toward the headboard to help minimize shadows while reading.
When creating bedroom ambience, use table lamps with warm-tone bulbs (typically 2700k-3000k) and fabric shades with diffused light. You can also use a cordless table lamp for flexible positioning or avoid cord clutter in the bedroom.

Are there specific table lamps for pool tables and game rooms?

Pool table lamps are uniquely constructed to provide even, consistent light over the playing surface. Typically, pool table lamps have:

  • Longer rectangular shades (in the range of 48-68" wide)
  • Designed to mount directly above the center of the pool table
Traditional pool table lamps are made with green glass shades to help reduce glare associated with play; however, there are many new modern LED pool table lamps with adjustable light options available. The lamp should light the entire table area while avoiding player shadows or glare.

How bright should my table lamp be for different types of tasks?

Table lamp brightness is a function of the type of task:

  • Ambient lighting: 400-800 lumens
  • Reading or closely inspected work: 800-1100 lumens
  • Precision work: 1100+ lumens
Most table lamps will work with light bulbs ranging between 40-100 watts. For versatility purposes, I suggest finding a table lamp with a dimmer switch or a 3-way light bulb. Reading table lamps should direct the light over your shoulder to reduce eye strain. Accent table lamps can use lower wattages since they can provide sufficient ambient light.

What's the difference between battery table lamps and plug-in table lamps?

Battery table lamps (cordless) have the advantage of portability and flexibility on placement but need to be charged periodically and usually offer less light output. Plug-in table lamps provide consistent lighting and greater output with wattage while always requiring a near electrical outlet. Battery table lamps are best for:

  • Temporary spaces
  • Outdoors
  • Spaces requiring frequent rearrangements or lacking current electrical access
Plug-in table lamps are best for permanent spots or in spaces needing consistent bright lighting with frequent use, such as reading or writing areas.

How do I choose table lamps that fit in with my current decor?

You should choose table lamps that match your room color palette, materials, and style aesthetic. For a more contemporary look, choose table lamps that have:

  • Clean lines
  • Made from metal or glass
  • Geometric shapes
For traditional or transitional style decor, choose table lamps with:
  • Ornate bases
  • Fabric shades
  • Traditional materials such as ceramic or brass
Be cautious when mixing materials, such as pairing metal table lamps with wood furniture or crystal table lamps with soft fabrics. Also, think about the visual weight the lamps have in your space and use the surrounding decor elements as a guide for their placement.

Can I use table lamps outside and if so, what features should I consider?

Outdoor table lamps should be weather-resistant. Be sure to check the IP rating—look for lamps rated IP44 and above to resist moisture and dust. Ideally, a cordless table lamp is made for outdoor spaces. Cordless table lamps do not need an extension cord and eliminate any electrical safety concerns. Look for lamps made of:

  • Durable materials
  • Powder-coated metal finish
  • Marine-grade finishes
  • UV-resistant plastics
It is also possible to use solar-powered table lamps for eco-friendly outdoor lighting or rechargeable LED table lamps for bright, controllable lighting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

How to Choose a Table Lamp

To choose a table lamp involves a few steps that consider why the lamp is needed, what style direction it needs to go, and in what regard it needs to function in the room setting. Making the right choice with a table lamp can play a vital role for either the functional or aesthetic value of your room. To help simplify the process, consider the following guidelines:

  • Why is the lamp required? It could be for task lighting, such as reading, or it could be for ambient lighting, such as softly lighting a room.
  • What is the furniture of the room style? It could be contemporary, modern, traditional, bohemian or rustic. The lamp needs to be integrated into the current color palette and aesthetic of existing furniture styles and décor. This is a major factor in good basic interior design.
  • How much (or what kind of lighting) is needed? In a living room, there is good value in arranging several lamps throughout the room so light can be provided from different angles. On a nightstand, softer light (directed toward the person and not against the wall) centered on the bed for a personal experience is preferred.

The most important part of establishing your choice is selecting a table lamp that suits your home style.

Matching Table Lamps to Your Decor Style

Choosing the right table lamp means finding one that complements your room's design direction through its shape, color, and materials. Here are five popular interior design styles to consider:

Modern: Features clean lines and simple geometric shapes using materials like metal or glass. Think sleek brushed nickel bases with crisp white drum shades.

Traditional: Embraces timeless details with ceramic or brass finishes and pleated fabric shades. Classic examples include ceramic bases with floral motifs and bell-shaped shades.

Industrial: Inspired by warehouse aesthetics with exposed bulbs, raw materials, metal cages, and distressed finishes. Picture concrete bases paired with Edison bulbs.

Rustic: Celebrates natural beauty using wood, stone, and organic textures. Imagine tree branch bases topped with burlap shades.

Boho (Bohemian): Free-spirited style mixing vibrant colors, patterns, and natural materials like wicker, rattan, or macrame with colorful patterned shades.

How to Clean and Care for Your Table Lamps

Cleaning and maintaining your table lamps will help keep them looking their best and performing properly for years to come. The method for cleaning depends on the fabric or material of the lamp base or shade. Follow the steps below to properly care for your lamps:

  • Fabric Shade: Dust fabric shades with a lint roller or a soft brush and clean more extensively with the vacuum and the brush attachment. The majority of fabric shades are not designed to be submerged water.
  • Metal Bases: Clean brass and other metal bases with a cleaner appropriate for metal. Clean brass and metals with a soft, microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the surface.
  • Glass and Crystal: Use glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth to leave clean glass and crystal free from streaks.
  • Bulbs and Sockets: Always unplug the lamp prior to cleaning. Dust the light bulb and surrounding space to maintain health performance.
