Amber Glass Lamp

Buying Guide

Don't think of an amber glass table lamp as a mere source of light. With the lamp’s amazing color, it can also be used as the unifier of a room’s design. You can even match the natural color and beauty of an amber glass table lamp with the other decorative elements in the room like your drapes, picture frames, and pillows.

Where can I place an amber glass table lamp?

Living Room - An amber glass table lamp that’s right for a living room is one that can give the space a focal point and give light at both sides of the room. You can opt for small table lamps for your two side tables. If you will be sliding the lamp onto your bookcase or shelf, pick a small-sized one to give attention to your displays, as well as give the same feel as overhead lighting without being too fiddly.
Bedroom - A glass lamp can be your bedside lighting. It's even better if you’ll be able to match two so you can have lighting on both sides of your bed.
Kitchen - Small amber glass table lamps work on classic style kitchen countertops, most especially if you have no over-the-counter lighting. They also work the same on shelves in your kitchen as they would on bookcases and shelving inside your family or living room.

What kind of bulb is best for an amber glass table lamp?

The kind of bulb that you use with your amber glass table lamp will have an impact on whether the lighting source looks good or not. As the glass of a glass table lamp reflects light, you should not choose the bulb that has too much glare or else you will be blinded when you’re near it. Edison bulbs are your good choices as they’re vintage-styled and they have visible filaments. They even come in various sizes and shapes so you can have the option that perfectly enhances your lamp, even if it has a simple design.

How to decorate with amber glass table lamps?

It pays if you think of glass table lamps as not just accessories that can brighten up your living space, but as focal points as well as they’re capable of being so.

The right-sized amber glass table lamp can create a cozy reading nook even when it’s just in a small corner of your living room. All you need apart from the lamp is a comfortable armchair and a side table. This idea can work anywhere in your home and not just in the living room.

Amber glass table lamps look incredible even when they are mismatched. They also work in clusters if the designs are clean and simple but they’re of different heights. Just use a central element like the amber glass or the shape of the base in order for you to pull off the ensemble.

If you are creating a vignette, you can add an amber glass table lamp as a side piece or the main focus. If you don’t already know, a vignette is the arrangement of small-sized but well-chosen items, either atop console tables or side tables.
