What’s the perfect placement of a table lamp – when it doesn’t shine directly into your eyes. An adequately scaled table lamp highlights the elegance and sophistication of any room.

- Ensure that the bottom of the lampshade is in line with your eye level, when placing the table lamp next to your couch or chair.

- A bedside table lamp should be in-line approximately with your chin to avoid direct rays.

- Nowadays, some lamps come with easy charging (USB ports) for your electronic devices and are often known as the USB table lamp.

- Make sure that the table lamp you choose goes with the furniture, home, and office décor – if the interiors are bold, a thin and small lamp will be as good as invisible. On the other hand, a large lamp on a small table will look dull and overdone.
