Lamp Pedestals: Let There Be Light

Whether it is for your home or office, lamp pedestals can be more than a practical piece of furniture. With the number of attractive lamp pedestals available, they also can be a stylish addition to the room.

Knowing what's available is the first step to finding the right lamp pedestal. Lamp pedestals come in a number of sizes and heights. Whether you are looking for one to put by your favorite reading chair or to brighten up a corridor, finding the right size shouldn't be an issue.

Finding the right look shouldn't be a problem either. You can choose from simple lamp pedestals that have a more traditional look or ones with an interesting shape or elaborate details. Lamp pedestals also are available in a variety of materials including wood, stone and marble. Choose a material that will complement the rooms decor or select a more practical lamp pedestal that has just a simple painted finish.

The price of lamp pedestals varies greatly depending on the size and material used. For example, a simple painted lamp pedestal that is 42 inches tall will cost approximately $60. However, marble lamp pedestals of the same size will cost significantly more.

Another item that might influence the price of some lamp pedestals is the option of having a wire hole. While this is a great solution to hiding all the cords, an additional cost may be associated with this feature.
