I have placed swing arm lamps in bedrooms when laying out lighting with the same problem as yours. It works out great because it leaves enough room on the nightstand for your other necessities. You can try the two sites below. I am sure that there are others if you search. Before having the electrician put in the wiring, figure out how high the bed is and where you want the lamps placed so that you can easily reach them. http://www.houseoftroy.com/ http://www.minkagroup.net/products.asp?div=166&styleid=197&catid=2286 It may be easy to lay out with paper or chalk the floor if possible for the bedroom layout to make sure that the electrical is placed the correct position. the other alternative is to have the electrician place electrical outlets near the floor where you think you may want to have the lights. The make terrific cord covers that are the same color as the lights and you can then move it where needed if it is not placed correctly. Hope this helps.

Yes, I love them, and have used them in libraries, bedrooms, dens, and home offices. If yours are, shall we say, undistinguished, you can paint them, and/or mount them on narrow strips of wallpaper that you've bordered with molding, to give the whole business more effect. For a guest room in a house that had a lot of cane furniture and Asian imports, I once tarted up a pair of very plain chipped brass plated ones with black paint, a touch of gilding wax here and there, parchment shades, and a backing panel of Asian newspapers pasted to the wall, with narrow faux bamboo molding around them. It sounds a little kitschy, but it was really quite charming.

Hi! I just wanted yall to know I wasn't fishing for compliments or anything.....the more I look at professional interiors the more insecure I feel about my abilities to create a beautiful & comfy space. This room has ended up being "left overs" from a bigger house & I am really having a hard time pulling it together. I don't know if I am going for soft, neutral & serene or more dressy classic & a little bold????? So, it seems it is mixed about light/dark on the lamps?? Chandelier is too small but I am willing to live with it. I have never had crystals hanging & I love the way they look lit up. Change the shades???? Red, I will take a pic of 2 skinny buffet lamps I have in my DR tomorrow & see what yall think. Musical lamps at my house right now!! Yes, PB is very simliar to WT - I used PB on all my trim in my previous house & foyer & hall. Lovely color and your den looks gorgeous. You have so many beautiful pieces of furniture. Oh, and I saw your post about which picture & agree about the darling portrait of your daughter - esp. since your mother did it. It does not get any more special than that:) Shee, the 2 bird plaques I got at an antique shop. Your entry is really pulling together. I like very much your new lamps & bunny planter. Good job, girl:) Valzone, I would love to see your lamp. I really should have taken a pic of the shade they had on this one - it was HUMONGOUS(spel??)) I think I am going to look at Aidan Gray lamps to get some ideas, too. I have moved so much stuff around in here - you should see all the holes in the walls!! Until I found this forum - I didn't really think as much about my home decor. Good & bad. Smiles:)

This was the $$$ lamp. Simple lines but not boring. The gray wood seems to fit your style and the base isn't too wide to fit your space. https://www.lampsplus.com/products/arteriors-elden-dove-gray-lacquer-floor-lamp__5f010.html I like the tripod lamp that Groveraxle mocked up, but had been avoiding lamps that are that wide at the base because I didn't think they fit your space size-wise. If you think the tripod lamp works, there are a few others I could suggest. If you are open to chrome/nickel/brass, there are also other options, but I didn't see any metals in your room as it is, so I kept my search to white or bleached wood.
