Lighting has the biggest effect on the look of any room. Even if the room is filled with top-end furniture, if the lighting is not correct everything else will look awful. Restaurants understand this very well and go to great lengths to get their lighting exactly right. When it comes to your house an antique desk lamp can transform the entire mood of a den or home office the better.
When you have an antique desk lamp people will notice it. They may not say anything, but it will certainly be spotted. On the other hand, they may be so struck by its appearance that they are going to feel the need to compliment you on it. Either way, getting the right lamp will give a certain air to the room. Not only will an antiques desk lamp provide function by giving you light where you want it, but it's also a work of creativity.
Part of the fun of buying such lamps is looking at all of the alternative styles of lamps which have been produced over time. From the very basic to the ornate, from the lackluster to the vibrant, it's all there. Some lamps can even return to the late 1800s or early 1900s! Naturally, the rarer the lamp, the more it will cost.
When you come across a lamp which you like, perform some research on the price to be sure you are getting a good deal. If you are on a budget, then you can get new reproduction lamps that have the same elegance as the first antique lamps. Some are made to duplicate a selected model, while others are done in an older looking style. It'll seem like you spent a fortune, and you did not have to break the bank to do it.
A fast note: if you're sufficiently lucky to get a truly antique desk lamp, be sure to inspect the cord and make any repairs, if necessary, before using it.
Desk lamps range from the sublime to the uncommonly charming and from the indefinable to ones that are quite bold. Whatever lamp you ultimately decide to buy, you may be certain that it will make a statement. A statement that claims that you appreciate the nice things in life, that you're to be regarded seriously and that you have good taste. Here is one other thing to think about: what kind of statement does your current lighting make?
after you buy one antique desk lamp, don't be surprised if you get the desire to buy another one for another part of your home or office. After all they are functional, stunning, fun to buy, come in many styles and add a touch of class to whatever room they are found in.
