To Sum it Up…
There are so many gorgeous table lamps to choose from, it can be hard to choose between them when you want to buy them all!
When you are choosing a floor lamp for your home, consider where it will be used. If it is intended for use between a couch (or another piece of furniture) and a wall, it’s worth getting your tape measure out to check the width of the space to ensure it will fit the diameter of the lampshade. Some drum shades can be quite wide!
It’s also worth considering what you will be using the lamp for. If you need it for reading as well as ambient light, you may want a lamp with an arm that you can move, or a dimmer switch.
