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!

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! :)

New Product: Crystorama Lighting

We just got this incredible fixture from the June market put up in the showroom  last week and it sold the SAME DAY! I guess everyone agrees that it is a great piece. No worries if you love it too, we will be getting another one in very soon! It came to us from Crystorama Lighting. They are a company that has been with us for a while now. Every market we seem to only pick up a few pieces but they are always REALLY great!! Crystorama was initially founded as a primary importer of crystal chandeliers from Northern Czechoslovakia  and  offered the finest selection of classical crystal designs. They use the beautiful swarovski crystal in their fixtures which give them an amazing sparkle! Another great thing about Crystorama lighting is their selection of lighting for children, mostly little girls. They have everything from pink rose chandeliers to crystal flower bath lights to pink ceiling medallions. All the pieces are incredibly classy and would make any girls dream room a reality! Below are a few new fixtures we picked up in June that I thought you might enjoy!

Turquoise: 2010's color of the year

We received an email last month from one of our vendors regarding the hot color of 2010! Of course it happens to be one of my favorite colors(in fact it's the color of the diamond on my engagement ring, the color of the shirt i'm wearing, and the color of my earrings!! :) Soooooo......I felt it necessary to share it with all of you! Here is what our vendor Global Views has to say about 2010's color of the year.............

 Turquoise

"Rich and vibrant turquoise takes top honors as 2010 color of the year from Pantone, the recognized expert on color. All shades of blue have long been amongst America's favorite hues, whether in fashion, home, or crayons. Color it blue.

Today's turquoise goes sophisticated when paired with grey, particularly in contemporary interiors and becomes a bit more lively when teamed with chartreuse or orange (loved by most of us in small doses). The color holds up well with golds, browns and other shades of blue.

The feeling of turquoise is calming and serene – think tropical oceans – and some cultures believe the color to be a protective talisman. Taking its shade from the colors of the sea and the sky, turquoise evokes a momentary escape to a tropical island.

This hue is perfect throughout the house to brighten existing décor. It complements reds and pinks, pairs with deeper blues to become nautical and livens up other greens. Pair turquoise with yellow-greens for the hottest look of the season"-----Global Views
