Table lamps with lampshade

Nothing will emphasize the uniqueness of a room's style like small but bright interior accents. Take, for example, a table lamp: today it is an indispensable attribute of home furnishings, pointing to the idea of ​​design and creating a cozy atmosphere. The brightest and most memorable types of models are table lamps with a lampshade. They stand out noticeably against the background of other analogs and have a number of advantages.

A table lamp with a lampshade is a unique accessory for the room. It is a beautiful lamp on a stand, featuring a colorful diffuser-lampshade. A feature of this lamp is a stable support and a wide top.

Contemporary table lamps with lampshade are unique lamps with an embedded design idea. Each of these lamps attracts attention and creates a welcoming atmosphere. Today, these accessories are at the center of design attention: as an unobtrusive accent of the room, they set the general background, indicating style and highlighting the special taste of the owners of the house.

Another feature of such lamps is local use: they mainly illuminate the surface of the working area of ​​the table. Luminaires consist of fittings of various shapes and designs, a light source (the lamp itself) and a lampshade that protects human eyes from direct exposure to light on the retina and optic nerve.

Table lamps with a lampshade have a lot of advantages, they are:

Table lamps with a lampshade are unique in that the diffuser often needs to be repaired or updated. If desired, it can be modified, decorated with existing appropriate fittings, made from improvised means, using different materials. This approach allows you to change the appearance of old, boring lamps, breathing a "second wind" into them.

Alas, with a lot of advantages, table lamps with a lampshade also have negative sides. Such models of lamps cannot be called compact: they often need a lot of space for placement.

These products have limited ability to control light output:

• they do not have hinges on the leg, which provide a change in the angle of inclination of the plafond;
• in such models, it is impossible to vary the height of the leg, creating the most convenient illumination of the working area (you have to move the lamp or, if necessary, come up with appropriate stylish stands for it);
• for maximum illumination, you have to take care of the "correct" lampshade material, otherwise the luminous flux will be weak and sharply indicating the work surface, which is harmful to the eyes in a room with a minimum of light.

Table lamps with a lampshade are multifaceted, they are notable for a mass of varieties that differ in design, type of light source, method of power supply. In addition to the fact that they are excellent decorative techniques for a room, such lamps can have different functionality (for example, they can be equipped with a built-in clock, which is convenient and saves space on the table).

By design, table lamps with a lampshade are divided into:

• standard classic - familiar models of modest design;
• exclusive interior - designer accessories that differ in a non-standard and sometimes specific form.

By the type of functionality today, such lamps are:

• workers (to illuminate the surface of the desktop);
• decorative (for soft lighting of the room).

Depending on the design, they can have a different base, size, height, shape, width and depth of the lampshade. As light sources, in addition to incandescent and sensor lamps, it is possible to use halogen, fluorescent and LED lamps in them. Bulbs are chosen according to the type of activity (for example, 60 watts are enough for writing, a more powerful lamp is needed for drawing or drawing - 100 watts or more). The uniqueness of the models is the fact that not one, but several bulbs can be located inside the plafond.

The raw materials for the production of lampshade table lamps are diverse. Depending on the model, the lamp frame and base are made of:

• metal;
• wood;
• organic or inorganic ceramics;
• glass.

Each base material is unique in its own way, has its own advantages and disadvantages.

• Porcelain models are colorful, but fragile, as are items with an exquisite crystal-like glass leg.
• Wooden models are laconic, they are lighter than metal and ceramic counterparts, but not as lacy as options made of metal with gilding or bronze.
• The bronze base looks solid and expensive, but such a lamp is more expensive than other models.

The lampshade of table lamps is made from:

• fabrics;
• plastic;
• plastics;
• cardboard;
• artificial leather;
• knitting thread;
• glass.

Each material has its own characteristics.

• Plastics and plastics emit harmful substances when heated, which is an obstacle to purchase.
• Cardboard and other paper change color over time, and when using incandescent lamps, they gradually burn, although they are a colorful material with a beautiful surface and pattern.
• Models with a fabric shade (for example, pleated or lace) are among the most popular. Today they are in the spotlight: the fabric transmits light, gently diffuses the light flux.
• Crocheted lampshades are an update of the lampshades, this is an original technique that gives the accessory an airiness and a touch of vintage.

The models differ in appearance. If earlier these were mainly standard small-sized lamps with a boring shape, today the products are attracted not only by the lampshade, but also by the design of the legs, and, in addition, differ in size. In addition to the classic parameters, large accessories are in fashion.

The most interesting options for the shape of the lampshade are:

• cone;
• sphere;
• hemisphere;
• paraboloid;
• cylinder;
• prism.

The leg can be laconic or:

• carved in the shape of a figure eight;
• like a glass, wine glass;
• resembling an elongated oval;
• rounded ovoid on a stand;
• resembling a candlestick;
• in the form of a bottle of wine, a jug or a tall vase.

The color solutions of the models are varied and are subject to the peculiarities of the interior of a particular room. However, there are shades that, according to the designers, should be excluded from the field of attention: a table lamp should have a pleasant appearance, which is completely impossible if its color is negative or gives off aggression.

Black, red, black and blue shades are excluded. If you want creativity, it is better to replace the red tone with an orange lampshade, black - with white with a medium-sized pattern, blue - in the form of a pattern, but not a background. In this case, it is better to focus not on the dark spot, but on the drawing, choosing a product with a creative theme.

Light and white tones are what you need to create a cozy atmosphere. Gold, milky, cream, beige, blue, pink and yellow are welcome.

Color contrast looks good. These can be drawings on a white or light background (white with gold, brown, green, lilac). There can be two or three shades, however, the more there are, the simpler and more boring the print looks.

The decorative elements of the lampshade table lamps are unique. Decorating a lampshade or lamp base is essential. In some models, this is a minimal touch in the form of a crystal drop or the usual fringe with beads, in others, embroidery with flowers, beading and even decoupage are used.

The most popular decorative techniques for decorating table lamps with a lampshade are:

• textile ruffles, frills, flowers;
• bows made of ribbons of different materials;
• different texture of the material in the lampshade;
• lace or regular braid with beads;
• glass mosaic;
• combination of shades of textiles and base (play of contrasts or identical tone).

Table lamps with lampshade can decorate different rooms. They are appropriate in the bedroom, look good in the interior of the living room, create a relaxing atmosphere in the study and home library. If you choose the right style elements, they will harmoniously look in the design of a spacious loggia or bay window.

However, these accessories are out of place in the interior of the kitchen. They do not always look good in the children's room.

Table lamps with a lampshade fit into the style most successfully:

• classic;
• retro;
• Chinese;
• Arab;
• vintage;
• high tech.

In each of them, they will look special, but everywhere they will be bright touches of design, requiring the selection of the correct shape and decor.
