Azazello1313 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) for a bedroom like this, which would you buy.. A) The same lamp for each table Different (but similar) lamps C) Completely different lamps to add interest and variety Edited July 27, 2006 by Azazello1313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) Can't get the link to open, so perhaps I will need to edit this. Even if the tables are similar (don't know since the page isn't loading), I would go with completely different lamps. Going "same lamp" looks far too "hotel lobby" for my personal tastes. If you went "similar lamps", they might look TOO similar, in which case, see above. And again, since I can't get the page to load, I'm not sure what sort of room we are talking here. But getting lamps in the same "style" (retro, modern, classic, etc.) would certainly be advisable. Edit: OK, got the page to load. So we're looking at a bedroom with two of the same night-stands. Because of the layout of the room and the fact that you have the exact same pieces on either side of the bed, I might consider two of the same lamps. This appears to be a guest room, in which case the "hotel look" wouldn't be too terrible. While you're at it, get rid of the gaudy ceiling fan fixture.

In that case, I would probably go with different lamps - one that suits "your style" and one that suits hers. Maybe a couple lamps with similar colors, or if your tastes are similar, similar lamps with slightly different - but complimentary - color schemes. Yes I watch far too much HGTV.

Hankk Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) The link doesn't work. Two identical nightstands on either side of the bed? Whatever you do, don't get identical lamps. Even if the nightstands don't match, don't get identical lamps. Get a nice swing-arm lamp for one side and a table lamp for the other. Here are a couple of nice lamps: 1 and 2.

Hankk Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Although personally, I'd stay away from the bookend nightstands look. Very static. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hankk Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Ah, the link works. I'd start over from scratch. The headboard is ok, although the dark color will limit your options. I'd probably lose the drapes and go with some blinds. There is kind of a funeral home atmosphere right now. You definitely need different lamps on the nightstands with that set up. And you already know about the ceiling fan. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hankk Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) she's thinking two of something like this Those look really out of place in that room. That lamp is fairly light and airy. The room isn't. Plus the style is wrong. Nothing oriental about that room. Get some color in there. If you are stuck with two of the same lamps, look at something like this. (I searched through Amazon.) I'm not crazy about that lamp, but it gives you some idea about color. Edited July 27, 2006 by Hankk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
