Buffet Lamps

Slim Buffet Lamps

What sets a buffet lamp apart from other lamps, is their slim design. They tend to be much taller than a typical table lamp, and yet the tabletop space they take up is much less.

Buffet lamps features lamp shades with a much smaller diameter. Typically, because the buffet lamp is taller, the lamp shade will also be a tall cylinder shape - taller than it is wide.

Where to use a Buffet Lamp

Due to the taller and narrower proportions of buffet lights, this makes buffet table lamps an ideal choice for sitting on narrow or limited-depth furniture, such as in a narrow hallway or entryway. They won't jut out into the room, making them less likely to be knocked over in passing.

Skinny lamps work very well in a narrow passageway, on the side table of a smaller room, on top of a small piece of furniture, or maybe even in the corner of a small room like a restroom. If you're looking for an alternative bathroom light, a buffet lamp may be an ideal choice.

Tall buffet Lamps

Note that skinny buffet style table lamps tend to be much taller than typical table lamps. Their proportions are much more vertically stretched, usually starting well over 30 inches in height and upwards.

Because of their height, this places the light bulb somewhat higher than in a regular table lamp, making it a bit more suitable for when a person is standing or walking past, rather than for use next to a seating area.

A tall table lamp can also be useful in a childs room, kept out of the way. Also use a buffet lamp as a hallway lamp, an entryway lamp, a restroom lamp, or even as form of accent lighting.

Buffet Lamps for Hallways

Buffet lamps make an ideal choice in a hallway on a side table or near an entrance. Their slim design keeps them out of the way of foot traffic so that the hall does not become cluttered or too narrow.

Choose a tall buffet lamp also to shed light on a telephone station, or even use them on a desk where they won't take up much space.
