When you want to pick a table lamp, for some reason it becomes harder than you thought. You cannot let your bedroom lighting ideas take a backseat. Table lamps are a crucial accessory for lighting your rooms and must be treated with much more respect than just an afterthought. If you think your table vignette lacks a lamp, then what you need is a glass lamp base that not only looks sleek and elegant but also requires much less attention. They also work wonders in providing functional lighting without compromising the visual aesthetics.

Is your room designed in neutral shades? Then you don’t need any hard colors to rob your room of its peace. What you need is a softness of transparent glass, its subtle grays, whites, and taupe in your room. In itself, they demand very little attention but can still dress up the spot in so many ways.

Is your table styled heavily? Then the last thing you want is an opulent lamp to take the eye away from the table. Use a glass lamp to light the area and still keep the table as the main point of focus, as you intended it to be. A delicate lamp will also restore the balance between the two.
