Table lamps are essential in creating ambience in a room, and, like paint, they can instantly change the feel of a space. They can also be expensive! In this ideabook, I am sharing a few of my favorite sources and styles for table lamps under $200. — Julieann from CreateGirl and Jace Interiors
As I am looking for affordable lamps, I also like to find an interesting shade shape. The empire style has always been a favorite of mine, as it adds a touch of elegance.
Gourd-shaped lamps seem to be everywhere today, but I like this version for the added grosgrain ribbon detail on the shade. The slate blue color would work perfectly in any room from a nursery to an office.
If you are looking for a lamp with a little more movement, there are many patterned bases out there. I adore this Jonathan Adler Carnaby Waves lamp. It is so fun!
Lamps Plus is one of my go-to sources when scouting for lamps for clients — the price is always just right! This glass, triple gourd creation is perfect for casual and traditional settings.
The Isis lamp is a fantastic option because it is available in 20 colors and has a three-way socket. Robert Abbey is another one of my favorite lighting manufacturers because it always offers interesting base shapes.
Sometimes a solid lamp base just isn't going to do the trick. In these cases look for a base that is dimensional and has a lot of detail, like this mosaic tile option.
I adore this zebra-print linen shade on the Jamie Young lamp, but it is a cheat because it's out of my $200 budget! Take a look at the next photo for my solution.
An affordable way to update an existing lamp base is to swap out the shade. This cotton fabric shade with a royal blue scroll pattern would give new life to a to any lamp base.
olldbobbi My favorite is the hammered metal lamp because the base has "substance" and it looks like it would be harder to knock over. I like lamps that have a wider base than shade, they appear more "grounded". Thanks!
astraea Not sure why, but I've always loved lamps .. kind of like hats; they complete the picture! Now I live in a house with a lot of cap lighting, and I have more lamps than places to put them. My big problem is finding replacement lampshades. When I first bought this house & made a foray to all the local lighting stores, with my old shades, I was shocked at the few replacement choices I had. And many stores told me I should bring my lamps along, not just the old shades .. really; wrap & tote 5 or 6 large ceramic lamps around in the car?! Any shade suggestions; it's hard to buy online, because the shapes aren't the same as they used to be either.
Cordini All these lamps are beautiful and have one thing in common, a cord that is 6'. Make sure you have a Cordini to hide that cord, look at my website www.Cordini.Biz My product works on any outlet, in any room in your home as well, living room, kitchens, bathrooms, bedroom... Add a Cordini to tidy up countertops and floors from those unsightly cords.
Cordini Cordini, it depends on the cord of course. On a lamp cord it can hold 4' to 5' and leaves enough to move the lamp where needed. I got 6' of my wifes Flat Iron cord into a Cordini, that Flat Iron comes with 10' of cord, can you believe. On low voltage chargers Cordini can hold all of the cord from cell phones, land line phones, electric toothbrushes, razors, battery chargers for tools, all those charger cords can easily fit into a Cordini. It's Made in the USA too!
bumbles12 I just love the mercury glass lamps but I notice that they are no longer available when you check out the store? Also they have some beautiful shades on lamps that aren't in there collection? which is a little bit annoying as I would love to purchase them.
Thanks
