Set The Mood Right With The Quintessential Table Lamp

Bedside the style, colour and theme of the room, it is ultimately the lighting that influences the whole vibe of the room.  Whether you wish to relax at low light or read a book or simply enjoy light music before sleep, only the right kind of table lamp can help you sync in with the mood.

However, when it comes to picking a particular table lamp Hong Kong furniture stores will daunt you with various styles and shades, so it can get pretty confusing as to which style or shade would blend in perfectly with your room’s feel and decor.

We have a simple guide for you that will help you find the ideal pick for your bedroom.


Set Your Purpose

Before you go to the store, you need to identify the purpose behind this table lamp. How do you wish your table lamp to serve you- create a romantic set up, light up a dark corner, just enough light to read a book as you settle in your bed or to create an overall softer mood in the room? The motives can be varied. You might not want your bedside lamp to be as luminous as the one that sits on the side table of your living room.

If you just need enough light to help you read a book, then opt for one with directional lighting, for an overall softer feel, go for ambient lighting that eliminates dark corners or shadows.

Size It Right

Choosing a lamp with the apt height is s important as any other element. The furniture equally influences the size of the table. If your table is short in height, then a tall lamp would be ideal and vice versa. An easy way to decide on the lamp size would be to ensure that the bottom of the lamp is at your eye level when you are seated on your bed. This ensures that the light shines on your lap, not your eyes. This trick works for any lamp shade, be it for the one next to your couch in the living room or your reading alcove.

Style It Up

The look of a lamp shade can significantly influence the decor of the room. Think about the style of your bedroom and try to keep it in sync if you wish to blend it in. However, with modern architecture going experimental, you can also choose a fancy opulent shade to give the room a incandescent focal point. Accent lamps will create an interesting and more inviting space for you. Metal shades with thinner bottom on smaller tables can help make space for your books, glasses, or a clock. Wider lamps, on the contrary would offer more luminescence.

Play With Colours

When it comes to adding colours, your scope is limitless. You can create any twist you want just by playing smart with colours. Colour adds punch to the demeanour of the room. If your room has a neutral backdrop, you can add any hue to the room with multicoloured lamps, metallic white lamps gives the metallic glitter. If you wish to keep your colours in sync with the rest of of the hue, then complement each other alternately with your bedding and curtains.

Your bedroom is yours strictly. So make sure to add that personal touch you want so that you create your perfect evenings.

Layout Ideas Of Living Room: Sofa With Surround Bookshelf

When it comes to decorating your living room, you need to be very clear and precise as to what kind of changes do you exactly want. The star of the living room is essentially the sofa that attracts everyone toward it and one of the best ways to complement it is an ideal bookcase Hong Kong style.

It is an ongoing trend in Hong Kong today where folks usually like to style their living room by placing beautiful 2 & 3 seater sofas with a surround bookcase. It brings out the perfect combo of style and art together. Your sense of style along with your love for literature. Classy, right?


Well, this sounds about right. However, just don’t go randomly picking any from the lot as this might interfere with the room’s aesthetics. It may seem too simple, but you need to pay heed to the details, the color, size, height or shape of your furniture. It needs to be just perfect. So, let's get down to the tricky business.

Balance is the Key

The key to designing the ideal look in a living room is balance. Large room demand larger furniture, however, not each piece should be large. Similarly, a smaller room could be filled with a medium 3 seater sofa with a center table not too large. You need to get your measurements right before you make your purchase.

However, the most important thing to take notice of is to identify the focal point of your room. By identifying the focal point, you get to decide which part of your living room you want your eyes to fall upon first. In this case, we are going to stress on the combo of 2 & 3 seater sofas with a surround bookshelf.

The focal point is different from the center point. The center point is usually the middle of the room where the center table looks ideal. If you have a fairly large room, there could be two center points, the other being near the window, though that would be comparatively a smaller one.

You can also combine a pair of 2 seater and 3 seater sofas  or a couple of 2 seaters adjacently if your room is medium sized and complete the look with a surround bookshelf behind. This offers a cozy and lovely look and amazingly spacious feel to your living room.

Make sure that the colour and height of the sofa smoothly complements your bookshelf behind. If your sofa is beige in colour, your bookshelf could be wooden in texture or maybe maroon or pink on the edges to give an edgy look to your room.

The height of the sofa should be as such that it doesn’t block the view of the bookcase behind. A tall towering staircase styled bookcase could give a really dramatic look to your living room. Also,when buying the sofa, consider the height of the ceiling too.

Aesthetically, you need to pay heed to every detail if you want a flawless look. This is held true even in case of how you arrange your bookshelf behind. Bookshelves are an opportunity to display variety of collections and art. To give it an inviting look, you may want to balance it out here as well.

Arrange books in both horizontally and vertically to avoid the boring library look and add objects of different heights to create some negative space which invites guests to look at and pull a book out. Casual styling could be possibly the best way at home.

Place books that are the most visually appealing with the front view and accessories such as a vase with colorful flowers and antique objects and things that are personal to you. You may keep one interesting item per shelf.

Now that you have a fair idea, put forth all your creativity to create the best aesthetics in your living room.
