When selecting a lamp, consider the style of the room. Is it traditional or contemporary? Ensure that the lamp size is proportional to the space. The shade should be half or three-quarters the size to the base and should conceal the internal hardware of the lamp. Select a shade similar to the shape of the base. A cylindrical base will look better with a similarly-shaped shade. Select shades based on amount of lighting required in the room. The more translucent the shade is; the more light is released into the room. Do you like to sneak away to read a book? Then consider getting a reading lamp, which provides directional lighting at a reading table or in bed without affecting the lighting in the rest of the room.
