Take the halo cordless mushroom lamp for example, place that it a media console while the orange mushroom lamp graces a taller side table, say a bart cart for instance.

4. Use Dimmers

   • Invest in dimmable lamps or smart bulbs. Adjusting the brightness to suit any of your moods - whether its a stay in type of weekend or a lively housewarming can set the mood for any event.
