If the key to a great lighting plan is layers (and it is), what does a lamp offer? Can a room be complete without one? Lamps are an essential layer, contributing welcoming, relaxing accents and sometimes functioning as a task light.
A durable standby, the lamp adds decorative beauty and a crucial layer of light at the same time. A portable is not a big commitment: It doesn't have the same cost as heavier, more permanent, more elaborate lighting fixtures; it doesn't require putting a hole in the wall or ceiling, nor hiring an electrician. You just plug and play.
Yet the simple addition of a table lamp increases texture and dimension in the room's décor. It's an easy, low-stakes way to add some style to your space, a perfect option for an inexpensive refresh.
A couple classic places to use a lamp are the entryway and bedroom.
