Summary
Lamp and lampshades are not only functional but they are also a very important room accent. The perfect lamp goes a long way to make a room look fabulous too! So we are talking about all things lamps on today's episode.
When it comes to lamps think about going bigger than smaller if you have space. If you get an old lamp make sure the cord and all the parts work. It might be best to have an electrician check it out.
There are different types of harps for lamps.
