Indoor Lamp Post

• Arched wall lamp

Rather than buying a stand-alone lamp, a slightly different style to consider are the indoor wall lamp posts. These are often cheaper, and while there is some more work involved to affix them to the wall, they can save a lot of space and create a warm and brightening effect. This may be a style where a horizontal beam extends from the wall, with a further curved beam bending around the wall for a less harsh shape. The lamp then hangs either at the end of the horizontal beam or halfway along the beam.

• Multiple bulbs

An indoor lamp post may have more than one light bulb, which is ideal if you want something which can provide a fair bit of light. Some lamps are used for creating the warm softer tone for the evenings, while others are required to give off much more light for a larger room. Indoor lamp posts which have 2-3 bulbs are more strong and bright than just one, so this is definitely something to consider. No matter how strong the light bulbs are that you purchase for the lamp, there's only so much light it will be able to emit.

• Single wall lamp

Taking up less space than most of the other styles you'll see, including the arched wall lamp, a single wall lamp is a lovely way to have the outdoor lamp feature inside your home without taking up a lot of space. You can fix a single lamp to the wall around 6-7 feet up from the ground to allow easy reach of the switch. These lamps are rarely bought as just one item for one room, however, and are often seen in groups of four around the room or two at opposite ends.

• Grandfather clock style

If you're looking for something traditional yet different, consider the grandfather clock style. Rather than being just a lamp, it has a light but also boasts a rustic style of clock. It then has the design of an outdoor lamp post for the actual post, so you're able to achieve the outdoor lamp post effect but inside the home and with the extra features too.

• Thin post style

This is a version of the traditional black outdoor lamp post style but is much thinner to suit the modern and contemporary tastes. It is also less 'chunky' or 'blocky' than some of the other styles, so it is able to fit well within homes which have more defined or thinner furniture. Often made from metal, but occasionally made from wood, this style may be found most commonly in black and white, but some supplier will custom-make them in a color of your choice.
