What to look for
- A shade that diffuses light instead of blasting it.
- A base with one good material signal: ceramic, brass, black metal, or stone.
- A simple silhouette that does not pretend to be antique luxury.
- Warm bulb compatibility.
What to skip
Skip tiny lamps, clear acrylic bases, cold LEDs, fake crystal, and any lamp where the shade looks too small for the base.
