Find a lamp for your spot

A table lamp catches your eye online. Before choosing it, picture the whole design on the surface you have in mind. Will the shade fit on your side table? Is there still room for a book beside the bed? And will the light reach the place where you need it?

Choose a table lamp by deciding where it will go and what you want it to do. Check the full dimensions, the direction of the light and how you will operate it. Then consider the shape, colour and material alongside your furniture and other objects. Assess the design both switched on and in daylight.
