Consider the Size of Your Space
The first step in selecting the right lamp is thinking about the size of the room or area you want to light. Lamps come in various sizes, ranging from compact 40 cm models to large 100 cm designs. Here’s a quick breakdown of what works best for different spaces:
Small Rooms or Corners (40 cm to 50 cm): If you're lighting a small room or a specific corner, opt for a more compact lamp. These smaller lamps are perfect for accent lighting or creating a cozy, intimate vibe without overwhelming the space.
Medium to Large Rooms (60 cm to 90 cm): These sizes work well for general room lighting. They provide ample light while fitting in harmoniously with your décor. If you want something that stands out a bit more but still blends in, go for this size range.
Statement Lighting for Large Spaces (90 cm to 100 cm): For larger rooms, lofts, or open spaces, go big with a lamp in the 90 cm to 100 cm range. These larger lamps not only light up the room but also act as a striking design feature
Choose the Right Shape for Your Style
At Lumière Shades, we offer a variety of lamp shapes to match every aesthetic. Here's how to pick the right one based on your vibe:
Classic Round or Globe Lamps: These timeless shapes work with almost any décor style—whether you're going for a modern look, mid-century vibe, or something more traditional. They’re soft and versatile.
Geometric Shapes: If you're aiming for a more contemporary or minimalist style, geometric shapes like squares, rectangles, or triangles are a great choice. They create a bold statement without being too overpowering.
Organic, Nature-Inspired Designs: For those who love boho or natural aesthetics, lamps with organic shapes add a touch of whimsy and warmth to any room.
Consider Different Types of Lighting
Different lamps serve different purposes in a room. Depending on your needs, consider the following types of lighting:
Ambient Lighting: This is your general, overall light for a room. If you're looking for ambient lighting, choose a lamp that provides soft, even illumination. Larger models (60-100 cm) often do the trick here.
Task Lighting: This type of lighting is for specific tasks like reading, cooking, or working. If you need focused light, a smaller, more direct light source is ideal. Think of a compact table lamp (40-50 cm) placed on your desk or beside your bed.
Play with Children’s Lamps & Prints
Lumière Shades also offers a selection of children’s lamps and prints that are both playful and functional. These lamps can serve as both nightlights and cute additions to a child’s room. When selecting a lamp for kids, consider:
Soft, Warm Light: Kids rooms benefit from soft, non-intense lighting. Opt for lamps with a warm glow to create a calming environment.
Fun, Interactive Designs: Choose designs that will catch the child’s attention, like lamps with animal shapes, fun prints, or themed prints.`
Mix and Match with Different Lamp Styles
Sometimes, the most fun comes from mixing various lamp sizes and designs in a room. Don’t be afraid to pair a large statement lamp with smaller task lamps, or mix geometric styles with more organic ones. The key is to create balance and allow each lamp to have its place while complementing the room’s overall vibe.
Choosing the right lamp doesn’t have to be overwhelming. At Lumière Shades, we offer a variety of sizes, shapes, and styles to help you find the perfect lighting solution for every room in your home. Whether you’re looking for a bold statement piece or a subtle accent, we’ve got you covered.
Take your time, experiment with different combinations, and most importantly, enjoy the process of illuminating your home!
