If you think of gooseneck lamps as those chunky little lamps that students often place on their desk you are mistaken. Well, those commonplace gooseneck desk lamps definitely do still exist and they continue to do a fantastic job of illuminating text books and notebooks. However, there are many different types of gooseneck lamps on the market these days, including some of very stunning appearance.
Designers have taken the versatility of the gooseneck lamp and changed it into something that is not only useful but also highly decorative. You can find many beautifully designed gooseneck lamps that would look great in your living room on a side table. They are useful when you wish to read or do other intricate work in your living room as you can position them beside you and turn the head of the lamp to illuminate whatever you are working on. At the same time, the design is such that the lamp looks simply splendid and does not detract from the overall décor of the room at all. Practical and beautiful at the same time!
There are also many splendid gooseneck floor lamps to choose from. Prices range from the not so expensive to the truly designer priced lamps. They are very useful in a living room setting, particularly if you can find one that closely matches the overall décor of your room. You can have a floor lamp placed directly behind your chair so that the light shines over your shoulder giving you a great reading light. Alternatively, you can place the lamp in such a way that it shines and accents a wall hanging or some other decoration. The neck of the lamp can be turned wherever you like.
Of course there are also the purely decorative lamps, such as the Adesso gooseneck floor lamp with five separate ‘heads’, or the delicately shaped and tinted Eternity floor lamp. Make the most of this fantastically versatile lamp by including it in your overall decorating plans.
