If you have a living space with limited side table or coffee table space, then an arch lamp like this one is a game changer. Not only is is a unique lighting fixture that adds to a more mature and sophisticated aesthetic, it frees up space on your counter, tables, and shelves for other things, like books, glasses, and decorative pieces. With this lamp we suggest using it as more mood lighting than task lighting and using an Edison bulb to make it really look antique.

What is often overlooked when making a space feel warm and homey is lighting. Lighting is critical and can offer a warm glow, or a brighter focus-inducing feel based on the type of lamp, bulb, and positioning of the lamp. Table lamps offer great task lighting, while floor lamps like this one by Versanora offer great ambient lighting for a general warm glow. While finding the right bulb (in terms of wattage and overall color) might take a few tries, a warm free standing lamp looks great next to a couch, bookshelf or accent chair. So try adding some warm glow to your hang out spots and amp up the moodiness of your abode.

We all know lighting is important when we need to get stuff done at home. When planning out your home workspace, why not blend function with design? This desk lamp from ORE Furniture has a great blend of style and adjustability to make light available where you need it. It uses a 60W bulb which should be enough for most small to medium size desks. Our one note, the finish is a bit lighter than it seems in its photos.
