What is a farmhouse table lamp?

A table lamp typically sits on a side table next to a larger piece of furniture. They’re very versatile and great for accessibility when you’re doing different tasks. Whether you’re reading the newest People magazine, scrolling through Instagram, or reading a book – table lamps always come in handy.

However, what makes a table lamp have farmhouse style? Well – there are a few different features here that you want to pay attention to.

Firstly, the lamp could feature a more rustic touch or a more modern look. It really depends on what you’re going for. Some farmhouse pieces are very vintage/antiques while others have become more contemporary over time. If you’re going for that rustic look – think antique brass or lamps with a bronze finish.

Secondly, the farmhouse style is all about a relaxed, comfortable, homey look. Therefore, your lamp shades are going to be no different.

Thirdly, your home decor is most likely going to follow a simple color scheme. With the farmhouse style, whitewash, off-white, and neutral colors are really popular. Therefore, most lamp bases will follow this guide. Personally I love white shade lamps for that modern farmhouse look.

What is the height of these lamps?

The rule of thumb is that table lamps should be between 58″ and 64″. Or, find one that is approximately 30″ tall from the bottom of the base to the top of the lamp shade.

Before you purchase a lamp – make sure you also think about what type of bulb you’d like. Some people like LED bulbs while others are more old school and prefer traditional Edison light bulbs. Therefore, these are all factors to be thinking about when you’re deciding on a style table lamp.

And if you’re buying a bedside lamp – make sure it will match your mattress, comforter, etc – or if it’s for your living room – your sofas, accent chairs, etc. Floor lamps are also another great alternative to add to your farmhouse home design.

What is the difference between a desk lamp and a table lamp?

Table lamps are decorative objects that are often used for providing lighting for a larger space in the room. Desk lamps, on the other hand, often focus on producing light for a small area. Most designers call this task lighting.

Table lamps focus more on creating ambiance for the room and are great for living rooms, bedrooms, and entryways. Desk lamps are most commonly used for work spaces such as in a home office.
