The perfect height for a black wrought iron table lamp depends on the furnishings in the room, use of the light, and the size of the table.
A 26 to 34 inches tall lamp is ideal for most living rooms, as long as you are not looking into the lamp. On the other hand, bedside lamps should be proportionate to the bedside table and approximately 19 to 21 inches from the top of the mattress. Once again, you don't want to look up into the bulb, so adjust these measurements accordingly.
Table lamps on the dining room sideboard allow you more freedom with height and may be placed anywhere between 34 to 36 inches high.
To choose a black wrought iron table lamp for your living room, consider both your actual table and the style of your room.
First of all, be realistic when it comes to your table size and what else you want to display on it. There’s no point in choosing a model with a wide shade if you have a particularly narrow table.
As for height, shorter lamps work better on taller tables and vice versa. However, don’t forget to consider where you’ll be sitting. In fact, for the best results, you should choose a table lamp that stays at your eye-level when you’re seated.
Try and choose a design that works with your décor, too. For example, more streamlined shapes and lines are a safer choice in contemporary and minimalist interiors, whereas harmonious lines and decorative models will look great in more ornate styles such as French country, shabby chic, and modern rooms.
We also recommend choosing a lampshade in a color that’s already part of your room’s palette but that can also contrast against the wall: that way, your black wrought iron table lamp won’t end up disappearing in front of it whenever it’s not lit up.
Since the wrought iron is completely handmade, it can be used and incorporated into various interior decorating styles such as contemporary, classical, country, and even minimalistic interior decor settings.
The delicate and refined appearance of wrought iron table lamps, together with the power and masculinity of metal, makes it ideal for industrial home settings as well.
However, at the same time, wrought iron table lamps still contain if an exquisite and refined look that will complement any interior style. So feel free to match it with any type of interior decorating theme to bring a touch of masculinity into your home.
