Which lamp?

Claudia · Gucci

I don't think the walls are too dark. You just need lighting in there. I'm with you I like the first one better and I think it would look better in the room.

I

the first one too. I really like the shape of the second lamps base, but think it needs a shade in a different color.

lynnie · Chanel

the second lamp is my fave, although maybe a lighter shade.

I love the shape of the second lamp, but it needs a better shade.

I love the ottoman/coffee table. Where'd you find it?

Anyways, as far as lamps, in my opinon (interior design school dropout lol) I wouldn't go with a lamp with a wooden base. There's so much wood already in the room. The room also has an eclectic feel, so I would go with a fun contemporary lamp. I'm thinking a lamp that has a clear glass base and white shade would look awesome. Here's an example:

I do not like this one in particular, but I just wanted for you to see what I'm talking about. I'm too tired to try to find a better one, but you get the idea.

The coffee table/ottoman is from Macy's. It's a little expensive (on sale for $700) so I was leaning towards something like this brown leather ottoman to double as a coffee table for only $228:

I had already looked at some lamps with a glass base, they cost more. I was hoping to spend under $100 on a lamp, but this one is $150. It will probably be worth is since I really don't want to put a dark base lamp on a dark wood end table.
