Table Lamp Under $50
So you think that a table lamp is always worth $100 a piece. In your mind you can’t find a screen that looks as good and works as well if it’s cheap. But what if you can find an inexpensive lighting fixture for your table that will add beauty and illumination to your room?
Buying an economical lamp, on a budget…
Unless you’re a millionaire who spends offensively by decorating your summer cottages and winter cottages, you, as a regular, thrifty individual, have a specific allowance. You cannot go beyond what you have planned financially.
As for your table lamp, your budget to decorate your home is less than $50. Let’s say you’ll need to renovate your living room and you’ll need 1 hanging shade in the middle of the room, 2 floor lamps next to your 3-seater sofa, and 2 lights on each of the side tables. So in total, you can only spend $300. Bring that down to $250. 5 lamps for $250. This will be a welcome challenge! If it can be less than that, great!
The secret here is to find the right style or type of lamp. Is your living room classic or traditional? Artistic? Modern? Victorian?
Living room table lamp and more…
Most living room designs these days, especially those with children or pets, are simple and borderless. It has to be kid and pet friendly, that is, if you have fur babies too. So the furniture will most likely be rounded, soft layers combined with circular tables, the usual.
Cheap pendant lamps, seriously?
For a pendant or ceiling light, it’s good to use contemporary styles like the 20445A Rovigo – Five Light Chandelier from Eglo Lighting. It is ultra discounted on an auction website for $44.99. It used to cost $657. Big savings for you!
For side tables…
