Right by Your Side - choosing Living Room End Tables

We have tables in our house that do Big Work. The kitchen table is where we eat two or three meals a day, tackle homework, and pay bills. The dining room table isn't called into assistance as often, but when it is, it's big-Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and birthday and supper parties. Even the coffee table, while it's smaller in stature, works sits front and center every day. It's the landing place for magazines and newspapers, laptops and Dvds, soda cans and pizza boxes.


Wood Table Lamps

Living room end tables are sometimes a secondary thought. They are smaller, and they don't work nearly as hard. But if you give your choices a petite thought, you can make selections that give your room added style, storage, and function. They can be a splurge and they can work within your budget.

If you are a petite uneasy about coordinating furnishings, you can get a fully-coordinated look when you buy a suite of furniture-sofa and loveseat, sectional and club chairs, coffee table and living room end tables, lamps and accessories. Take measurements and maybe draw a sketch of your living room-place the entryways and windows carefully--before you head out to shop. If they look great but don't fit, those new tables won't do you a bit of good.

If you are looking for an prudent selection for living room tables, you can pick from a selection of round, unfinished tables that you can dress up to fit your decor. Cover them with tablecloths, top them with a round piece of glass, and you've got places to put a lamp and a coffee mug, and some hidden storehouse space. They're versatile and inexpensive-a great selection for a pupil apartment, or when you are furnishing your first home. I've even seen new, plastic outdoor trash can--the round kind with a detachable lid-put to use as end tables. Again, cover them with tablecloths and a glass top, and you've got uncostly living room end tables with hidden storage-maybe for linens and pillows used on a sofa bed.

But if you'd rather take a more eclectic arrival to outfitting your living room, choices abound. Browse the furniture stores, catalogs for your popular furniture manufacturers, and home furnishings websites. You'll find thousands of options for living room end tables. What features petition to you?

These tables can supply built-in storage. Look for ones with shelves for books and magazines, and drawers for remote controls or a box of tissues. I own living room end tables that look like apothecary cabinets-they've got eight small drawers, each the exquisite height to store Dvd cases on end. Some tables come with built-in baskets for bulky storage, like the baby's stuffed animals and blanket. If you subscribe to more than a few magazines, you can find living room end tables with magazine racks.

Most end tables hold a lamp for reading. Check the height of your lamps and settle how high a tabletop you need. If you will be using your lamp only for normal lighting, you've got more leeway with your choices.

Would you like to make a establish statement or try out a new style in your living room without changing out all the furniture? You can pick living room end tables that inject something new into your decor-something sculptural rather than original and furniture-like, for example? Or consider something in a coordinating style, but in a material other than wood-ones with copper or slate tops would be striking.

choosing the precise Glass Lamp Shade

There are many styles and sizes of glass shades, many of which are standard. It can be initially confusing trying to figure out the right size and style for your singular fixture or lamp, but here are some guidelines that will assist you in production the right choice.


Table Lamp

First tip: always take measurements from face edge to face edge as this is how glass sizes are classified.

Second tip: Remember that glass is undersize. What does this mean? If the glass is classified as a 2 1/4", or a 7", the actual determination of the glass will be slightly less than its stated size.

The first step is to settle how your glass is held in place.

1. Does the glass sit on a table lamp or chandelier that has a round ring or tripod? You probably want a trainee shade. Measure the ring, face edge to face edge. Standard sizes are 5", 6", 7", 8", 10", 12" and 14". There is often a place for a chimney to sit within the larger ring. Again, Measure that holder, face edge to face edge.

2. Is the glass held in place by three screws and does it have a slightly flared neck? If so, Measure the cup or holder, face edge to face edge.

* If the owner measures just over 2 1/4", you are finding for 2 1/4" fitter shades.

* If the owner measures just over 3 1/4" or 4", you are finding for 3 1/4" or 4" fitter shades. Both sizes come in two styles: either enclosed globes or open shades.

* Glass with 6", 8" and 10" fitters are also ready in enclosed globe styles.

3. Do you have a table lamp that has a brass or glass lowest and the glass sits on a ring with no screws? You may be finding for a Gone With The Wind globe. The ring will Measure just over 4" and the globe will have a right neck that just sits on the ring. There is regularly a smaller owner for a Chimney within the larger 4' ring.

4. Does your glass have a fairly flat occasion with no clear neck? Do you put it on the lamp or fixture nearby the light bulb socket and then screw a ring nearby the threaded part of the protruding socket? If so, you are finding for a Neckless shade. Most of these shades have a 1 5/8" opening.

5. Floor lamps can be very confusing. We have found the most coarse types to be as follows:

* If your lamp is newer, and you need a glass with a 1 5/8"-1 7/8" opening, you may need a Neckless shade. The shade is settled on the lamp nearby the bulb socket, and a ring commonly threads nearby the part of the socket that protrudes.

* Shades on older floor lamps, called Torchieres, have a longish neck that measures 2 3/4" which fits nearby an oversize Mogul light bulb socket.

* There is also a very beloved floor lamp, dating from the 1950"s, that looks like a torchiere but uses a dissimilar type of glass. If your floor lamp has a owner with screws, it will not take the older torchiere style. You need what is called an Ies Diffuser glass shade. Often the Ies shade supports a fabric shade. Ies Diffusers come in three Standard sizes: 2 1/4" fitter with a 6" top diameter, 2 1/4" fitter with an 8" top diameter, and 2 7/8" fitter with a 10" top diameter.

6. Chimneys regularly sit within any prongs or inside of a round gallery. Again, Measure face edge to face edge to settle the strict size.

7. Hurricane glass is commonly used on chandeliers and wall sconces. The owner or cup will Measure about 1 3/4" face edge to face edge. The glass itself is called a 1 5/8" fitter, although the actual determination is closer to 1 1/2".

Hopefully these tips will help you in determining the permissible glass shade for your lamp or fixture. Good luck! Tania Maxwell
