    What type of lamp works best in a home office?

    In a home office, you need a lamp that balances both task and ambient lighting to create a comfortable and productive environment. Additionally, ambient lighting from a floor lamp or soft overhead lights helps create a cozy atmosphere without overwhelming the space. A combination of task lighting for focus and soft ambient lighting for mood will keep your workspace both functional and inviting.

    How do I choose Table Lamps?

    When buying a living room table lamp consider the size of the room, the lamp’s design, and its functionality. Table lamps that provide ambient light or accent lighting are great options, but make sure they complement your room's décor. 

    What is the best table lamp for task lighting?

    For reading, writing, working on your laptop, you want a lamp that is bright and focuses light right where you need it. A bedside lamp offers that perfect beam of light to illuminate your pages without making you squint. Unlike overhead lights, a bedside lamp creates a relaxing environment that won’t disrupt your rest. A desk lamp with adjustable arms or heads gives you the flexibility to direct the light with precision, ensuring your book (or to-do list) is always brightly lit. Desk lamps are made to shine a focused, direct light exactly where you need it, whether you're diving into a gripping novel or powering through your study session. 

    How do I clean and maintain a table lamp?

    Keeping your lamp in tip-top shape is easier than you think! Dust it off with a soft cloth every week, and give the base a quick clean with a gentle cleaner (depending on what material it’s made of). Lampshades? A quick light wipe-down does the trick. And of course, don’t forget to swap out bulbs when needed—because a glowing lamp is a happy lamp!
