A guide to Interior design table lamps.
When I was younger the term “Interior Design” conjured up an image of a highly paid and sometimes whimsical individual who proposes a range of way out and unusual designs for a living or work space.
I have met a few interior designers and the reality could not be further than the image I had in my younger years. In the real world Interior design is the process of investing two things into a process before spending any money and before making a decision on a purchase. One is time and one is thought, the two go hand in hand but these are the two elements of basic interior design, take your time, consider your project, and use the internet to research a look that suits your outline ideas.

A designer table lamp can add the wow factor to any space. A well thought out lamp can lift an area with both is visual impact and its lighting output.

Lamps set in pairs can add symmetry to a space and can bring uniformity to a large piece of furniture or a room.
