Do you think it is true?
That two lamps are better than one?
Better for illumination - of course but also better for style.
I am a huge symmetry girl - I love pairs.
Pairs of topiaries on the window sill and pairs of chandeliers in the kitchen.
Pairs of candlesticks, pairs of pillows and pairs of lamps.
To be honest, pairs speak to me.
And often times when I am shopping - I will scour where I am shopping to look for a second matching item because I like to have a pair.
And when talking table lamps - it is no different.
Pairs are perfection.
This room is beautiful with that gorgeous backdrop of blue and pops of gold.
The pair of table lamps on the console table softly and subtly round out the look.
The pair of oversized mercury glass lamps in this space definitely make a statement.
They frame out the space behind the sofa and fill in part of the windows without obstructing the view.
Often in design - designers will choose to have lamps that do not match to make a statement.
But in this bedroom - the matching lamps flanking the bed make a statement on their own.
Matching and symmetry creates a quiet serene feeling that's pleasing to the eye and is less visually chaotic - if you love symmetry like I do.
The tall buffet lamps on this sideboard definitely make a huge statement.
With their unique shades - they speak volumes about design
and paired - they echo each other and make a much larger impact than just one lamp all by itself.
So next time you are looking for an amazing lamp for your home, why not look for two amazing lamps for your home?
Because two lamps are better than one, don't you think?
