Choosing the right lamp for your Living Room

How to choose the right lamp for your

Living Room

Think of living-room lamps as one part light and one part sculpture. They should be lovely to look at whether on or off. Just make sure they don't block the view or get in the way of conversation.


Height: Most living rooms can handle a lamp that's 26 to 34 inches tall. "But you don't want to be looking up into the hardware," says Jamie Young, a Los Angeles lighting designer. To see if your lamp is right for a given table, sit on the sofa or the chair next to it, she says. "The bottom of the shade shouldn't fall higher than eye level."

Base: Even a skinny, candlestick-style base should be substantially weighted so those who talk with their hands don't rock the lamp if they bump it accidentally.

Positioning: Rooms should have a light source every 10 feet or so. If a lamp is on a table between a sofa and a chair, "consider a thin or transparent base," says Steven Sclaroff, an interior designer in New York, "so sight lines―and conversation―flow freely."

Shade: A fabric or semiopaque paper shade gives a warm, flattering glow. Near a TV, an opaque shade of any material can minimize glare. In general, drum shades look more modern; conical ones, more traditional. A shade should never extend past a table's perimeter.

Bulb: If you intend to use your lamp for reading, make sure the bulb is at least 60 watts; a three-way bulb or a dimmer will modulate the brightness.

Style: A living room is a great place for a lamp made from a favorite object, such as a vase. Most lighting-repair stores can help with the wiring.

New Furniture Arrivals

Beautiful furniture pieces continue to arrive at our store daily and they just keep getting better and better! We saw a lot of really interesting trends at market this year! Actual antiques as well as antique looking furniture was very popular. There were also several small companies that offered industrial type pieces. Probably the most interesting pieces we picked up are a table with a top made from the wood of an old bowling alley and a coffee table made from an old wooden cart pulled from a rundown old barn. Each piece is refurbished and incredibly unique! Whether you are looking for furniture with a contemporary flair or for a few nice pieces for your beach home we've got something for you. With new furniture arriving daily be sure to stop in often and take a look!!!

This Easel holds a flatscreen TV and is so amazing! There is no way this piece will last long!

Back To Our Roots: Thomas Edison Inspired Lighting





A home decorating show I saw recently reminded me of these really neat lights that Hudson Valley Lighting offers. The interior designer on the show was transforming a man's apartment with a very masculine, old world style of decor. Think dark chocolate leather furniture, vintage world map-like artwork, and  a vintage trunk as a coffee table! The wall sconces she chose were what really peaked my interest! She found them at an estate sale which genuinely made them old and perfect for the apartment! After an accident left the glass shades broken, she decided to use nostalgic edison style bulbs in the sconces instead of replacing the glass. The sconces looked incredible and added so much style and character to the  overall look of the room! The Heirloom collection by Hudson Valley uses these very same bulbs to give them their vintage style. Although this collection has a very specific style its applications are endless! Come by the store today to see this collection as well as many others offered by Hudson Valley Lighting.

New Arrivals from Quorum Lighting

While inputting the June Market orders a few months back I really got excited about this family of lights from Quorum! Damask print has been a really hot trend these last few years and I think Quorum has done an incredible job incorporating it into their French Damask family of lights. We just received these lights in recently and you can now find them hanging in our showroom! Stop and check them out! They are even nicer in person! :)

Wall Sconces: Little lights, Big impact!

I was placing an order for some really beautiful sconces this morning and it got me thinking about all the places in my house a sconce like that could go! Sconces are usually pretty small lighting fixtures but they can make a really big impact when used correctly. Wall sconces can be used in many rooms of the house. They are often used in pairs to frame a doorway, a bed or a fireplace.

They are also great on either side of vanity mirrors as they provide pleasing light for daily grooming tasks.

Along hallways and staircases wall sconces are great for providing light for safety as well as atmosphere.

              They can be used to provide soft background illumination as well as directional task lighting.
