It’s not necessary for all of the lamps in a room to match if you want to create a stylish look. Matching lamps can work as a statement design feature, but this is hard to pull off if you’re not a professional interior designer.
When choosing lamps for a room, the best approach is to think of it like piecing together an outfit. The top doesn’t need to be made from the same material as the trousers in order to look good. In the same way, buying a designer table lamp doesn’t then mean you need to buy a matching floor lamp.
Instead, items with similar styles and complementing colours, which take into account the rest of the room’s design, will create an aesthetic that is cohesive without looking bland.
