The range of contemporary table lamps is absolutely mind-boggling. They come in all forms and vary from tall to short, from a softer glow to harsher light. Because the range is big, there is a great amount of malleability in your choice. The choice would, obviously depend on many factors including the place the lamp would be used, the nature of the user, the mood you would like to create etc.

- Take into account the intended user of the lamp. Think about whether it is only you, or whether it would be needed by other people as well. Moreover, you have to make sure that the lamp does the work you have bought it for. Of course merely looking good isn't enough, functionality also matter. So, you might want a stronger light for your reading lamp and a softer lamp for that cozy environment you want to create in your living room. Similarly, an inconspicuous lamp with lots of light might be the perfect choice for your working place.

- Think about the place the lamp would grace. A large room with bare walls is unsuitable for a tiny lamp. If you want a small lamp, a top of a bookshelf is probably what you are looking for.

- Think hard before purchasing. Unique and distinct lamps might look very good in the shop, but when you bring it home, the weirdness might make it unwelcome. Remember that the lamp will be something you will use daily for many days to come. Choose something which appeals to you, something that will look interesting without going too over the top.

- Also look over the building material of the lamp. Certain stuff lasts longer than others. Moreover, certain material might look different in the shop light than in your home or office.
