How Many Table Lamps Should I have in a Living Room?
As far as we’re concerned there’s no such thing as too many table lamps. If it were up to us we’d have walls lined with bookshelves populated by nothing but lamps.
But… we’re also understanding that some people like a more balanced approach to lighting.
Having multiple lamps in your living room allow you to have an intricate dance of lighting flow through the space, rather than having to decide where it’s most important to have that extra lighting. They’re also a great way to bring in some aesthetic points of interest throughout the space. Having table lamps in different sizes helps the flow feel more natural, having a large table lamp on a side table as a statement and then a smaller table lamp on a higher shelf or side table. Think about where you might need the most light for functionality and where you have the most space to dedicate to a new visual focus point.
It's impossible to give a hard and fast rule as to how many is too many. It depends on the space you’re working with, any other light sources you use, how many table surfaces you have versus how much floor space. Because is might be that you’re better off with one or two table lamps and a floor lamp.
How to Choose Table Lamps for a Living Room
Oh wow, there’s a lot to consider! But once you know what you’re looking for it makes the whole thing a lot easier.
The main things to think about are;
1. Material
2. Size
3. Style
Materials range from ceramic, fabric, glass, marble, metal, plastic and polyresin all the way to wood. Wow, a lot of choice, we know. But you’ll know what feels right when you see it, when you can instantly see it on your favourite table, lighting up your evenings.
Next up is size, to some extent there’ll be an obvious range that works for the space you’re looking to fill. Unless you want an extra-large lamp on a tiny side table, which we totally support (whilst warning about an increased risk of toppling). Really the size is a balancing act between the size of the surface that has your new lamps name on it and the impact you’re looking to make on the space.
Here’s where the fun really starts. Your style is impeccable, we already know that. Finding a table lamp for you living room that adds to that style is super important. Whether you want to match or clash is entirely up to you, done tastefully you can win with either one. At the end of the day, we think you’ll be hard pressed to come up empty after browsing through our stuff, but you’ll know what feels like it belongs in your home when you see it.
And you can always filter by colour, material, room and finish to help you get started.
Where to Place Table Lamps in the Living Room
So, you’ve found the perfect lamp. Now, where do you put it?
There’s a hint in the name, a table is a good place to start. So, look around your space at what surfaces you’ve got available or that you can make available. Which of these spaces are missing a little light, or feel a bit empty? Do you have any tabletops near the main seating in your living room that would benefit from task lighting?
Keep in mind that one of the best things about table lamps is they’re non-committal. You can move them around as much as you like before settling on a spot for them.
