Accessorizing is the easiest and most cost-effective way to change your home’s decor. Couch looking tired? Some fresh pillows and a cozy throw will revitalize it. Bathroom needs some brightening? A new shower curtain or even an awesome toothbrush holder can do that. Sick of your current kitchen? Add a vase of flowers or a great new wall hanging. It’s cheap, simple, and – best of all – can be swapped out as the seasons (and your whims) change.

When it’s the living room, den, or bedroom that needs a facelift, the perfect place to start is with the tabletop accessories, namely the table lamp. Besides for being an essential component in layered lighting, table lamps have the potential to complete or change a room’s decorating scheme.
