What height are the windows? Where are the windows? What else is in the room? One way to figure out how high a coffee table should be is to find a box and put it in front of the couch, then stack some books on it until it is 16" high.
Then, sit on the couch and put your feet up on the books and see if it is comfy : :. But the 23" end tables should be fine if your chair arms are poofy, because you shouldn't put glasses on the table because they sweat.
Thoughts on this lamp and end table coastal home Q. Thanks to everyone for your comments and suggestions! I am going to order the double gourd lamp from Lamps Plus. I like the fact that there are so many color choices and I can return it if the color doe not match. Take another look at the fabrics in the sunroom. I have the chain-link pattern, the leafy pattern and the solid yellow tone on tone sofa.
I initially thought I would pull out the reddish color in the leaf pattern, however, maybe green would work? Your thoughts The room will be painted this month, along with rest of the house, so I will show you the finished project soon!! Wow, it looks so much better! I love your lamps on barstools to get the idea of a console--very creative! Regarding the dark fireplace mantel, hmm. You seem to have lighting in the ceiling right in front of the fireplace--are they facing down only or can they be adjusted to highlight the fireplace?
Or smaller lamps on the tops of the bookshelves or on the mantel? The ones you had there are a bit oversized for the mantel. The lampshade should be at eye level when you are seated. Try to keep all lamps in the same room about the same height. If you love a lamp and it is too tall — put it on a smaller table. If the lamp is too short — add a few books under the lamp.
Lampshades There are so many lampshade shapes and sizes out there that if you need to replace an old shade or find one for a new lamp be sure to bring your lamp with you on the search. Five Tips For Buying a Lampshade The width of the shade should be at least as wide as the widest part of the lamp and can be up to 2x the width.
If you buy a lamp without a shade, it typically comes with a harp, measure the harp and add an inch or so for the minimum height for your shade. Be sure to leave 2 to 3 inches of space between your bulb and the shade. Match your shade to the mood of the base. Share this post. Related Post.

Is it a big heavy table? It will accept a large visually heavy style lamp. Is the table more petite or thin? The lamp for this table should be a lighter, more delicate style.
A wide lamp will visually anchor your space. Bedside table lamps often need to be rather wide, but not very deep, because these tables are often only about 16 inches deep. Light weight lamps are good for less active areas in the room. If you have children or pets a heavier lamp will be more stable and safer. When sitting next to a table lamp the bottom of the shade should be at eye level height.
Like the lamp itself the lampshade has to be right as well. The most common mistake with the lampshade is buying one that is too large for the table the lamp is intended for. Match your room theme.
