help with lamp selection

2 years ago

I purchased a large table
Lamp that is copper and metal colors to match the painting on the wall. The lamp and painting have textures. I wanted a large lamp for the large end table. I want a lamp for the small table
But not sure what will look good. I tried small lamps but they did not look right. I considered a stand up floor lamp but not sure about it. My taste is formal with industrial. Tables are wood with metal. Ideas??? Ty

First the art is hing too high lower it to be just above the back of the sofa. The TV is also too high it needs a lower cabinet so that the center of the screen is at eye level when you are seated. I have no idea what formal / industrial is but I think the lamp looks more bedroom than LR. Why os the chair stuck in that corner when there is more space on the right. I think these type lamps would work but IMO Edison bulbs are just plain horrible light so I would change the bulbs to LED and the floor lamp would go where the chair is now

The chair is on that side so we can look at the lake. I think I’ll try switching it though. Ty

I see why you are having trouble. That lamp want to be the boss and won't put up with competition for attention. For the table lamp, maybe something a similar shape in a solid yellow or brown, with a black shade. https://www.lampsplus.com/products/sandrine-sand-and-amber-crackle-drip-vase-ceramic-table-lamp__41t29.html https://www.lampsplus.com/products/goldenrod-black-shade-ovo-table-lamp__x1363-x8909-y8223.html https://www.lampsplus.com/products/goldenrod-double-gourd-table-lamp__y9257-x8909-2h516.html https://www.lampsplus.com/products/carafe-double-gourd-table-lamp__y9257-2f561-2h516.html For the floor lamp, maybe something more minimal? Or you could go for something all black. https://www.decorpad.com/bookmark.htm?bookmarkId=50808 Would you be open to changing out the shade on your lamp to harmonize better with new purchases?

I'm not a fan of any of those options...for various reasons. Mostly because the style/scale as well as the tone doesn't look like it would compliment the bed.....although without links hard to know. The Bernhardt nightstands in your pic from Haverty's are 40 W x30 H x21 D. That is why they don't look dwarfed by the bed. Do you have room to do something like the pic Penny posted? Basically a simple open rectangle with a sturdy leg? Another thing I'd consider is taking a look at kids' dressers/desks. Some are even similar in size and shape to the Bernhardt nightstands.... https://www.perigold.com/furniture/pdp/smiling-hill-4-drawer-dresser-sta6494.html?piid=17238112 Another approach would be multi-tiered side tables, not these exact ones obviously, but again something with enough heft and presence to play nicely with that bed.

Whatever lamps you choose please remove the paper wrappings before use. They are a fire hazard.

Why only one lamp? I would go with couple lamps.

You can either get 2 matching lamps with smaller bases so they will work on each end table, or keep the lamp you have on the larger end table and use a floor lamp on the side of the sofa that has the smaller end table. That also would give you a larger surface to set things down on the end table. Also lower the artwork over the sofa.

I did a quick check on the Lamps Plus site for it but didn't see it. Hopefully someone here can help. I was looking at Lamps Plus' site yesterday and remembered seeing the table lamps.
