A decorative indoor lamp should do more than simply look good. It needs to fit the available space, provide enough light and be compatible with the right bulb. With table and floor lamps, unsuitable purchases are often caused not by the design, but by overlooked technical details.
A gold floor lamp can look slimmer in a product image than it actually is in the room. So always check the height, width and depth. A table lamp measuring just 27 cm in height may already be suitable for a small bedside table, while a 153 cm floor lamp is more likely to stand next to a sofa, armchair or sideboard.
Cable length is also important. A 150 cm cable may be sufficient for a sideboard, while 180 cm can be more practical for a floor lamp positioned further away from the socket.
An E14 bulb and an E27 table lamp differ in more than just the size of the base. The fitting determines which bulbs can be used. You must also observe the permitted maximum power. Exceeding this limit may damage the lamp.
Wattage primarily describes energy consumption, not brightness itself. The bulb’s lumen rating is a more meaningful indication of the amount of light produced. A warm-light lamp is generally selected using a low colour temperature, for example 2,200 Kelvin for an especially warm ambience.
Gold-coloured metal finishes, glass details and unusual shapes all influence the look and feel of a room. However, you should also consider cleaning, stability and the IP rating. IP20 means that the lamp is intended for dry indoor areas and offers no protection against water. Such models are not designed for bathrooms, outdoor areas or permanently damp spaces.
A metal lamp should be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild cleaning solution. Abrasive products can damage the finish. Glass shades should also be cleaned carefully and wiped dry afterwards.
Before buying, establish whether you need an E14 or E27 fitting. The product details also state the maximum power per fitting. The Beliani WADI has three E14 fittings, each with a maximum rating of 25 W. The Brilliant Mushroom Design Table Lamp uses an E14 fitting with a maximum rating of 28 W. The Atmosphera Saba, on the other hand, requires an E27 bulb with a maximum rating of 11 W.
The bulb is not included with any of the three products featured. This should be taken into account when planning your budget and if you want to use the lamp straight away.
A table lamp should not block a switch or usable surface area. Compact models with a small footprint are practical for bedside tables and shelves. A floor lamp, by contrast, needs a stable, level position with sufficient clearance from walkways.
A multi-light floor lamp can be an interesting option for a living room with several seating areas. In a bedroom or hallway, a smaller table or floor lamp is often easier to position.
A cable switch can be practical on a small table lamp. A pull switch fitted directly to the lamp, however, lets you operate it without reaching for the cable. Assembly requirements also vary: a partly pre-assembled model may be ready to use within a few minutes, while other lamps contain more individual components.
Work on mains cables must only be carried out by a qualified electrician. The lamp must be disconnected from the mains before cleaning it or changing the bulb.

We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
Compact models with an easily accessible switch are a sensible choice for a bedside table. A Mushroom table lamp measuring 27 cm in height can be placed beside the bed or on a small sideboard. You should also look for a warm colour temperature and a lampshade that prevents glare.
E14 is a smaller screw fitting with a diameter of 14 mm, while E27 is a larger fitting with a diameter of 27 mm. The bulb must match the fitting exactly. An E14 bulb cannot be used in an E27 fitting, and vice versa. The technical specifications for the particular lamp are always decisive.
The lifespan of a lamp depends, among other things, on its materials, switch, cable and construction quality. For LED bulbs, the manufacturer states the lifespan separately. Proper use, a dry environment, regular dust removal and compliance with the maximum wattage can help keep the components operating within their intended parameters.
