3 TIPS TO CHOOSE THE MOST SUITABLE TABLE LAMP
\nFOR EACH ENVIRONMENT OF THE HOUSE \u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]Table lamps<\/strong> are a characterizing element<\/strong> of home furnishings. Their presence has not only a functional<\/strong> purpose, but also a decorative<\/strong> one and, in fact, they are lighting fixtures that accompany us in almost all environments<\/strong> to complete lighting and create a certain atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Actually, table<\/strong> lamps<\/strong> are a rather recent<\/strong> invention<\/strong> and their origin, which is to be attributed to George<\/strong> Carwardrine<\/strong> (a British engineer and a designer of suspensions for cars) dates back to 1931. The first model of table lamp<\/strong> had, however, industrial and military purposes. It was, in fact, used on trains and warplanes with the aim of improving the functionality of the lighting.<\/p>\n

Only in 1935<\/strong> was a “home” version of the table<\/strong> lamp<\/strong> presented, with the name of Angloise Original 1227<\/em>. In fact, it was a spring lamp (the iconic desk lamp with an adjustable arm, so to speak) which responded to the dimming needs of wartime since, when lowered, it allowed to illuminate everything in a discreet way with great effectiveness.<\/p>\n

Over<\/strong> time<\/strong> and the advent of new design trends, table lamps have reinvented themselves in shape and style<\/strong>, going from a functional object to a trendy decorative element.<\/p>\n

Today, on the market, it is possible to find table lamps of all kinds and manufacture but, to obtain the best results in terms of home decor, it may be useful to follow a few tips.<\/p>\n

Let’s see them together![\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_single_image image=”120771″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

1. WHERE SHOULD THE TABLE LAMP BE PLACED? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]Table lamps <\/strong>furnish <\/strong>and enhance, illuminate <\/strong>and relax.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They can create certain atmospheres and give character to the environment. If placed in the right corner, in fact, they give depth to the room<\/strong>, improving the general effect of the lighting.<\/p>\n

This type of lighting fixture<\/strong>, generally known as table<\/strong> lamp<\/strong>, is actually also suitable for furniture<\/strong>, shelves<\/strong> and bookcases<\/strong> or else it can become a bedside<\/strong> lamp<\/strong> as an abat<\/strong>–jour<\/strong> or even used on small tables.<\/p>\n

Their use \u2013 functional or decorative \u2013 influences the general perception of the environment.<\/p>\n

Let’s see, then, how to place these eclectic lighting fixtures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TABLE LAMPS FOR LIVING ROOM <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A lighting fixture<\/strong> placed on the living room table has an important decorative function because its position in the center of the living room captures attention<\/strong> and therefore becomes the protagonist.<\/p>\n

Details<\/strong> therefore become<\/strong> decisive<\/strong> and with them the design and workmanship. The precious materials, such as the handmade<\/strong> Murano<\/strong> glass<\/strong> and the noble metals of the frame like, for example, in the sphere lamp<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0of Stone<\/strong> <\/a>collection,\u00a0are a perfect combination to make the environment elegant<\/strong> and refined<\/strong>, with a guaranteed effect of sophistication.<\/p>\n

Should you prefer a more classic<\/strong> or vintage<\/strong> style<\/strong>, the most suitable table lamps are those with rounded stems and lampshades, such as the classic<\/strong> table<\/strong> lamp<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0proposed in the Venezia collection<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0by Patrizia Volpato<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SMALL TABLE LAMPS <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The small table next to an armchair is the perfect location to place a table lamp in order to create a relaxation or reading corner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Be careful to always maintain coherence and fluidity with the general style of the environment: a design table lamp<\/strong> stands out for its overall harmony<\/strong> and for its details.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s a table lamp with shade<\/strong><\/a>, or a modern lamp<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0or a luxury crystal or Murano glass lamp<\/a><\/strong>, the important thing is that such lamp is highlighted in order to best express its style, without adding too many objects around.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BEDSIDE LAMPS <\/em><\/strong>AND <\/em><\/strong>BEDROOM TABLE LAMPS<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Table lamps<\/strong> also find a perfect location as a bedside lamp<\/strong> and as a night light for<\/strong> the<\/strong> bedroom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is an ideal choice that does not require particular precautions in the construction of the electrical system, since generally, the power sockets are set up on the two sides of the bed, according to the specifications already.<\/p>\n

The bedside lamps<\/strong> are a piece of furniture within the bedroom <\/strong>both on an aesthetic as well as on a \u00a0functional level that greatly influence the general appearance of the environment.<\/p>\n

A soft and romantic line like the one proposed in the Petali<\/strong> collection<\/strong><\/a>, which replaces lampshades with sinuous leaves made of crystal and Murano glass grit<\/strong><\/a> generates a delicate and gentle atmosphere.<\/p>\n

In the same way, the refinement of the Cristalli collection<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0that offers optical crystal table lamps <\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or Murano glass lamps, <\/strong>clear and colored, creates an elegant and sophisticated effect.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FURNITURE <\/em><\/strong>OR <\/em><\/strong>SHELF LAMPS<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As we said previously, this type of lamp also finds a perfect location above a piece of furniture or a shelf: the decorative effect is guaranteed<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Indulging yourself with shapes and colors<\/strong> can certainly make that particular space in the room interesting, the important thing is to always maintain consistency with the rest of the environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rond\u00f2<\/strong> collection<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0plays on the plasticity of Murano glass<\/strong>, which is processed and curved by hand<\/strong> to create playful, light and colorful shapes. These LED table lamps<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0are perfect on a piece of furniture such as on a shelf.<\/p>\n

A more contemporary alternative is the metal table lamp <\/strong><\/a>\u00a0proposed by the Sfera<\/strong> collection<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0made up of small discs of metal and light with a futuristic look, alternating between empty and full spaces.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The table lamp<\/strong> proposals by Patrizia Volpato<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0are numerous and leave space for original and refined solutions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_single_image image=”120774″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

2. HOW TALL SHOULD A TABLE LAMP BE? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]Height and size depend on the dimensions of the piece of furniture or table on which the table lamp is placed. All elements must create a sense of harmony and proportion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If the chosen lamp is too large for the table on which it is placed, the result will be unpleasant, just as a very small lamp on a large base will tend to disappear.<\/p>\n

Therefore, before choosing<\/strong> and buying your table lamps<\/strong>, carefully evaluate all sizes<\/strong> in order to obtain the harmonious and welcoming effect you aspire to.<\/p>\n

As far as the height is concerned, we can say that, regardless of whether the lamp<\/strong> is placed on a table<\/strong>, a bedside<\/strong> table<\/strong>, a piece<\/strong> of<\/strong> furniture<\/strong> or a desk<\/strong>, it must guarantee a lighting beam according to its specific use. For example, if we consider a reading <\/strong>or bedside lamp<\/strong>, the lighting beam must allow a correct vision<\/strong> without tiring the eyes<\/strong>, while in the case of a lamp<\/strong> positioned on a shelf<\/strong>, this will have the function of enhancing a particular corner<\/strong> and the objects around it with a different light emission.<\/p>\n

In principle, the luminous flux must never be at eye level<\/strong> to avoid being annoying and uncared for.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_single_image image=”120777″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

3. WARM, COLD OR NEUTRAL LIGHT? WHICH IS BETTER FOR A TABLE LAMP?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Light bulbs are not all the same and the warmth of the emitted light provides for a specific atmosphere<\/strong>. This is why it is important to choose the bulb and the type of light well:<\/p>\n
