Whether you spend an evening watching tv with your family, or snuggled up in bed with a good book, nothing quite compares to the warmth and coziness a little lamp light adds to a room. Now, just about any lamp will do the trick when it comes to brightening a room, but it is also important to find a lamp you love. After all, you will have to look at even when it isn’t letting off that nice soft glow.

2nd Street Emporium has a variety of lamps in different styles. I love the way bright or bold colored retro lamps look with an updated lampshade. It is an easy way to add a pop of color to a neutral color palette. Lowes and Target are two great places to find lampshades here in Temple. Home Again Furniture Consignment also offers a variety of brand new high quality barrel lamp shades and various finials to spruce up all different styles of lamps.
