10 great table lamps

There are lots of table decor ideas out there, but one of the most obvious - and functional - is the table lamp. They can be pricey, making them investment pieces, so you want to spend wisely. Choosing just the right one takes time and a strong sense for the look and feel of your space. A well-chosen lamp can be a captivating centrepiece or blend subtly into the background. It can mellow the mood or light things ablaze. And as an artistic statement, it can be edgy, classic or quirky. Some lamps are so eye-catching you'll want to display them on their own. Others may complement other tabletop items like books, clocks, vases and more. With so much variety today, there's no need to settle for an old standard so shop around to find the one (or pair!) that's perfect for your home. Here are 10 ideas to light the way.
