Decorating with Tall Table Lamps in Your Home

Lamps can function as an important design element in both bedrooms and living areas. A tall table lamp, in particular, often makes a strong style statement. Taller lamps also provide ample light and are a good choice for a variety of applications. At west elm, we carry tall table lamps in modern designs featuring ripple ceramic bodies, wood bases and natural linen shades. Neutral and earthy tones make them easy to coordinate with a wide range of color schemes.

Where to Use Tall Table Lamps

When paired with the right furniture and decor, a tall lamp can work just about anywhere. Here are some ideas for how to incorporate a tall table lamp into the design scheme of different areas in your home.

In the Bedroom

Bring bold style into the bedroom by placing a tall table lamp on one or both sides of the bed. Because these lamps have a larger surface area, you'll want to pair them with bigger bedside tables. An oversized look is a great option for larger master bedrooms that can fit a king-size bed and headboard.

In the Living Room

If your living room could use some extra lighting, then a tall table lamp might be just what you need. Like in the bedroom, you want to place your tall lamp on a large table that can accommodate its size while leaving plenty of extra space for drinks and items like remotes. Taller table lamps are also best paired with a large and heavy sofa.

In the Office

A home office space requires proper lighting for efficiency and productivity. Well-chosen design elements will also help impress clients or simply create a more relaxing and comfortable work environment for yourself. Placing a chic, tall table lamp on the corner of your office desk can help enhance both the productivity and style of the space.

In the Entryway/Hallway

Tall table lamps provide an easy way to enhance the look and style of an entryway or hallway in your home, providing a welcoming scene to guests. Simply place one on either side of a console table along an empty wall or set one down on a sturdy pedestal positioned in a corner.

In the Dining Room

Create a more elegant dining room design by placing one or two tall lamps on a wide buffet table off to the side of the dining table. Enjoy the extra storage, extra light and sophisticated style offered by the setup, especially if you enjoy hosting dinner parties or family holiday dinners.

Add a touch of charm to any surface with a tall lamp, whether in the bedroom, the office or a living or dining area. Discover the selection of tall table lamps available at west elm and get inspired with new design ideas that will bring more light and style to your home.
