Things to Know When Looking for a Replacement Lamp?
There is usually a very valid reason for looking for a replacement lamp for your home. You may have broken the lamp you had when you were cleaning your home, or maybe your housekeeper accidentally broke it. If you have recently changed decorating schemes within your home, the old lamp may no longer coordinate appropriately with the decor that you picked out. It can actually be fun to look for a new replacement lamp. If you broke your old lamp, you can look for a replacement lamp that either looks the very same as your old lamp, or one that looks quite similar to it. If a certain company made the broken lamp, you may be able to locate an exact replacement match quicker than if there is no brand name on the lamp. If you absolutely cannot locate an exact look-a-like lamp, then you can purchase one that has the same styling and height of the old lamp. You may even be able to keep your old lampshade to use on your replacement lamp (if the lampshade is still usable.) If the replacement lamp is simply being purchased because you are redecorating your home, then you have many options as to what kind of lamp to purchase. If you are going for the shabby chic or classic look, you may consider going with a lamp that is very simple. The lamp may, however, have some frilly decorating around the edges of the lampshade. The lampshade may have pretty beading or crystals hanging off the edges of it. If you are looking more for the country style of a replacement lamp, you may want to buy a lamp that is more rugged or outdoorsy-looking. Again, look at the lampshade of the lamp. The lamp should be basic if you are going for a country style, but the lampshade could have plaid striping on it, or even country-type themes. If you are really creative and love to decorate, you may also want to look for interchangeable lampshades to go along with your new replacement lamp. If you find some awesome lampshades, you can change the look of your lamp really easily.
