Buying Guide

Japanese lantern table lamps bring the Far East’s beauty and grace into our homes while lighting up interiors with their soft, warm glow. Most are constructed from genuine washi rice paper that’s set within wooden frames, making stylish accents that are perfect for even modern homes.

You may have noticed that particular types of light like flourescent make you seem sick or wash out. Getting the wrong type of light will also make your home look bland and washed out.

2700K is a common choice of homeowners as it’s a warm lighting type that gives a home/room a yellow cast. If you want the type that’s close to natural lighting which is white, then opt for 3000K; it will show your room’s colors. As for 4000K and above, they’re blue-ish and cool. They’re great for modern style rooms that have blues and whites.

Sometimes, even the right lighting color can seem wrong for a certain situation or time of day. It is always a great idea to have options. If you can get a dimmer switch, it will be better as it will boost a room’s ambiance when needed.

3-way bulbs are great as well if you require bright lighting for sewing or reading and you wish to lower down the brightness if you want to watch television or converse with guests.

To determine the right Japanese lantern table lamp for your space, determine where you’ll be placing the lamp. Check out the height at which the lamp should sit. If you’ll be using the lamp as bedside lighting, then get the distance of the lamp from the bed. If it will be placed in your living room, take the distance from the lamp’s potential placement to the chair or couch that will be nearest to it.

Getting a table lamp, then trying desperately to fit it to a certain place is never a great idea. Although it can work perfectly if you’re lucky, most of the time the lamp would just be too short, too bright or too tall, which is why it’s important to get the exact measurements before making a purchase.

Also, define the lamp’s purpose before you start making a decision as you might not require a luminous bedside table lamp as opposed to one that will sit in your living room’s side table.

The lamp’s height will be affected by its location as well as the décor that surrounds the lamp. A bedside table that’s tall goes well visually with a shorter lamp and vice versa. As a general rule, pick the lamp that doesn’t give off glare when you’re resting or seating right next to it. This rule applies regardless of whether you’re shopping for a Japanese table lamp for your reading nook or a bedside table lamp.
