White Lamps

White Lamps for a Classic Approach to Lighting

Brighten up your space with a white lamp. A glazed one marries function and decor in one piece. If you prefer a bolder approach, try one made of marble or ceramic with fine detailing. Or, for a more understated aesthetic, go with a narrow or transparent base instead. Either way, use one to bring light to an entryway console table or living room end table. For a simple reading nook for both adults and children, situate a table lamp beside the sofa to light the pages of a new bestseller. Look for one with a white base and shade that provides light for sewing, knitting or crocheting, or simply gives the room a soft glow—even after the sun goes down. Working in a small space? If there's not room for a traditional end table, consider a white floor lamp for additional lighting. Alternatively, use a narrow table behind the sofa to house a small white table or desk lamp to brighten the room.
