Have extra lamps around that you don’t want to get rid of, but not sure what to do with? Or you do need the lighting, but don’t know where to put them? Try adding them to other furniture. Place on top of pianos or bookshelves or on a pot shelf or atop of the television. Use them to fill an empty space in a corner or in front of a window. Lamps can be used for both lighting and decoration.

     I like putting desk lamps everywhere but on my desk. Mixing up where lamps should go or were meant to go can be fun and make a room look unique. I put them on top of bookshelves instead or by my bed. Their small and easily moved around when one spot no longer works and light is needed somewhere else. Also, I have a few floor lamps placed in front of windows in my home. I have tall, narrow front windows and the two floor lamps fit perfectly there. It looks great from the outside also. These two lamps are not plugged in and have no bulbs, their strictly used for decoration purposes. Then there are table lamps that I have used on my desks and in my kids rooms. These are also small and I like that I can change the shades easily when the mood suites.

     Placing lamps around the house and on other pieces of furniture is fun and uses lamps that otherwise would end up in storage or be thrown away. And their always there so if they need to go from decoration to actual lamp, it is always a convenient switch!
