A small accent table lamp makes a wonderful treasure and provides gentle accent lighting. These smaller-than-usual table lamps and accent lights are not only cute, their smaller dimensions make them an ideal gift.
A typical regular table lamp ranges from around 18 to 34 inches in height. Our mini table lamps range from around 6 to 16 inches. Their little size makes them a great ornamental piece, positioned on a shelf or small piece of furniture. Some are small enough to sit on a mantle piece, on a window sill, or anywhere you care to display them.
A particularly notable group of accent lamps are the tiffany accent lamps. These small lamps are constructed from multiple pieces of stained glass. The glass is colored, and partly transparent, meaning that when the light is switched on, the tiffany lamp lights up. All of its colored glass pieces illuminate.
Small tiffany lamps are also much more affordable than full-size tiffany lamps, and they are cuter as well. These mini lamps make excellent gifts, but they are so adorable you'll want to keep them for yourself!
A mini table lamp usually will use a much lower wattage light bulb. The light output from the lamp is not strong. They may use a low wattage candelabra bulb for example. The light is enough to brighten and light up the lamp and the nearby surrounding area, but not bright enough to properly light a room.
This however makes them excellent candidates for a night light, or to keep a low light level in a children's room. Placing an accent lamp in a hallway or bedroom can serve as a wonderful night light that keeps the light level low and yet lights the room enough to see where to go.
Some miniature table lamps are in the style of larger table lamps. They will feature a small lamp shade and lamp base. Likely they'll house a single light bulb and a switch. A couple of small table lamps might do well on a desk or side table. But bear in mind they are a form of accent lighting and usually the light is not bright enough for complex activities.
Some accent lamps also double as a decoration for certain times of the year. Since they are compact, you can easily put the lamp away and bring it out again later. For example we have a selection of tiffany snowmen and women, santas, halloween accent lamps and more. These are always fun to show in your window since they light up and can be seen from outside.
Alternatively, bring out your tiffany animals, flowers and other ornamental mini lamps in the warmer seasons to enjoy their decorative beauty year-round.
