DISTINCTIVE PORTABLE LIGHTING 

 

 

Layers of light

 

Table lamps are available in all shapes and can bring a pop of colour to your décor in the daytime, as well as provide a gentle light in the evening. A pair of buffet table lamps on a side dresser can help you to turn down the light in a dining area to create a romantic room setting for a candlelit dinner.

 

Or perhaps a pair of table lamps on sofa side tables can add a final soft layer of light when settling down to watch a good movie. The beauty of table and floor lamps are that they are portable and you can move them around a room and plug them in next to furniture you have repositioned. 

 

A table lamp on either side of the bed can help to balance the symmetry in the bedroom. Choose a good enough bedside light to allow you to read in bed and if you have dimmer switches fitted – it is a great opportunity to turn the lights down low as you relax before sleep.

 

 

 

 

Fun and fanciful points of interest

 

Table lamps come in all kinds of styles and materials which can make a strong focal point and help to create a conversation piece because of its unusual shape, colour, moulding, sculpture or decoration. See almost 200 table lamps on display in our showroom, hopefully there is a classic or whimsical lamp to suit everyone’s taste. 

 

 

Beautiful light patterns from optic glass  

Glass is one of the most versatile materials that we use to create interesting table lamps. They can have interesting cuts in the glass to form optical patterns on walls or furniture when light is put through them and the shades which are chosen can help to compliment the base or allow you to add interesting patterns and colours to your décor.

 

 

 

Can you read and craft in style?

 

Stylish floor lamps can help fill an otherwise dark corner when paired with an armchair to create a relaxing reading or hobby nook. Look out for the white and polished nickel Balance floor lamp to hang over the sofa in the formal lounge. Most fittings have retrofit lamp holders so that you can choose the level of light required for your tasks in hand. With modern LED lamps you can still choose a low wattage bulb that burns a lot less electricity and provides a particularly good Lumen output. Ask your local showroom for more details.
