Bring Glamour to Your Home Decor with Gold Finish Lamps

Having a bunch of lamps placed in the proper spots in the house can make a huge difference, not just in terms of how much light you get, but also in the type of ambiance that you help create. The intensity and placement of a light inside the room can set the tone for a different mood, so today we’re going to explore the magic of golden lamps, but not before understanding more about the several options available.

Choosing Lamps According to Rooms

Let’s continue by looking into the different types of lamps that vary depending on the room that you want to place them in:

  • Bedroom lamps are ideally the sources of illumination that emit a soft light and make you feel like this is your safe haven. As far as the style of the lamp is concerned, it really depends on what you like and what your bedroom currently looks like. You can experiment with different sizes, patterns, or colors, and discover what looks best. For instance, chrome floor or sleek glass lamps are perfect in bedrooms decorated in a contemporary style, while traditional bedrooms would benefit way more from a traditional-style lamp.
  • If you’re looking for a living room lamp, it’s safe to assume that you’re looking for a light source that can cover a wider space, as these rooms often tend to be the biggest ones in the house. This is where you can get really creative with the lamps that you pick. You can choose if you want floor or tabletop lamps. You can experiment with different lamp height to see what contrasts fit best inside the room. You can also opt for lamps with adjustable angled heads to redirect the light to a particular spot in the room.
  • The lighting you choose in the dining room can also create a very specific ambiance that makes the entire room cozier and inviting. Floor lamps are excellent for dining rooms, and if you also add a few candles on the table, you are bound to create a stunning atmosphere that you’re family and your guests are going to love.
  • When it comes to bathroom lamps, you are much better off in choosing sconces or other types of wall lamps. You have to take into account that bathrooms usually have a lot of reflective surfaces, so if the light is wrongfully placed, it can be really weird for your eyes to adapt to the lighting setup. Also, note that lamp shades might attract mold, so be really careful with your choices.

15. Rosalee 34″ Desk Lamp

Rosalee Desk Lamp

Suitable for just any stylish office, the Rosalee desk lamp has a very steampunk vibe to it. This industrial piece is designed with a streamlined pulley that grants you more control over the adjustable height feature of the lamp. Made from metal, this table lamp is an amazing piece that would fit into several rooms in the house, but it doesn’t really belong in room styles other than those who want to follow this steampunk/industrial/minimalist trend.

Bottom Line

The best part about buying a new lamp is the multitude of options that you have (well, for some that’s a bad thing, because it makes it really tough to decide what to get). The point is that you can find lamps suitable for just about any type of room decoration you already have going on there, and gold lamps are a hit because they give every room a luxury touch without having to spend a fortune on actual golden-finish decorations.
