Home aesthetics between light and shadow: the story of table lamps and floor lamps
Light is the soul of the home space. It can not only illuminate the corners, but also outline the layering and temperature of the space. Among the many lamps, table lamps and floor lamps have become the "light and shadow magicians" in many people's homes with their flexible placement and unique decorativeness. Today, let's talk about the matching and purchasing skills of these two lamps.
Table lamp: a warm little happiness on the desktop
The "stage" of table lamps is mostly concentrated in small areas such as desks, bedside tables, and coffee tables. Its existence is like opening a "special small lamp" for a specific corner.
In the study, a table lamp with sufficient illumination is a good partner for desk work. Warm white light can reduce visual fatigue. The metal lamp frame with a simple lampshade can also add a bit of neatness to the serious space;
The table lamp on the bedside table is more warm, and the frosted glass material reveals a soft halo. It is not dazzling when turning books before going to bed, and there is no need to turn on the headlights to disturb family members when getting up late at night.
Today's table lamps are no longer just lighting tools, and design sense has become an important plus point. The rattan lampshade has a natural atmosphere and is suitable for the side tables in the pastoral living room; the geometric-shaped artistic table lamp can instantly enhance the style of the modern and simple study room; some table lamps even have built-in wireless charging plates, so that the mobile phone can be charged by just placing it at hand, which perfectly combines practicality and beauty.
Floor lamp: a three-dimensional light and shadow painting of space
If the table lamp is the representative of "small and beautiful", the floor lamp is the model of "large and elegant". With its slender lamp pole and adjustable lamp head, it can easily illuminate larger areas such as the sofa area and reading corner, and is a "master of fill light" for living room lighting.
The floor lamp next to the sofa in the living room is particularly practical. When the family sits around and chats, its light can fill the shadows that the main light cannot reach, and the warm yellow halo is sprinkled on the carpet, instantly filling the atmosphere;
Put a floor lamp in the reading corner of the balcony, the afternoon sun and light interweave, a cup of tea and a book, it is a pleasant time alone.
The "height advantage" of the floor lamp makes it one of the visual focuses of the space. The floor lamp with curved lamp arm has a sense of flow, which is suitable for matching with the fabric sofa in the Nordic style living room; the industrial style metal floor lamp, with its rough lines and exposed bulb design, can add a retro texture to the loft apartment; the floor lamp with storage function is a boon for small apartments. The lamp holder has its own storage compartment, which can be used to place small items such as remote controls and aromatherapy, killing two birds with one stone.
Matching rule: Let light and shadow dance harmoniously
The key to matching table lamps and floor lamps is "complementarity". In the living room, the main lamp is responsible for basic lighting, the floor lamp can be aimed at the sofa reading area, and the table lamp is placed next to the coffee table to illuminate the tea set and snacks. The three layers of light and shadow make the space more layered; in the bedroom, the bedside table lamp meets the needs of reading before bed, and the floor lamp at the end of the bed can soften the light of the entire room and create a warm resting atmosphere.
Unified style is also important. If your home is a farmhouse style, then a table lamp with a bamboo lampshade and a floor lamp with a walnut lamp stand will be a perfect match; for a modern light luxury style, you can choose a brass lamp, the metallic luster can enhance the texture of the space. However, you don't have to be too rigid. Occasionally, using a unique table lamp or floor lamp as an embellishment can break the monotony and become the finishing touch of the space.
Purchase tips
When choosing a table lamp, first check whether the illumination is adjustable. The study needs high brightness, and the bedroom needs low brightness mode; secondly, pay attention to the color rendering index. Only when it is above Ra80 can the color of the object be truly restored to avoid color difference when applying makeup or reading. For floor lamps, pay attention to stability. The style with a wide and heavy base is not easy to tip over, especially for families with children; whether the lamp head can be rotated is also important, and the angle can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different scenes.
A suitable table lamp or floor lamp can make ordinary home time more enjoyable. Next time when choosing lamps, you might as well consider the needs of the space and your own aesthetics, so that light and shadow become the most beautiful footnote of your home.
