The second prize in our 2016 #12DaysofSheSpeaks giveaways will light up your life... or maybe your home. Our giveaway is for two (2) $250 shopping sprees to LampsPlus.com, one for you and one for a friend!
If you’re looking for great holiday gifts for friends - or yourself! - look no further for fun lava lamps, floor lamps, desk lamps and chandeliers. Lamps Plus even has non-lighting home decor items such as mirrors, bar carts, wall art, fire pits, area rugs and furniture.
How confident do you feel when choosing the lighting fixtures for your home? A nationwide 2016 Home Lighting Survey of 1,025 persons conducted by Lamps Plus recently found that 81% percent of respondents feel either confident or very confident about choosing the overall lighting for a room. But it isn't always easy.
Define what the room is used for.
Is it for work? Is it for living? Is it for cooking? Is it for getting dressed?
Will your light fixture be used as a focal point?
Do you want people to notice your light fixture or do you want it to blend in?
What color temperature will you be using?
Consider how would you want people to feel in the area.
Should they be relaxed? Should they be focused? Both?
Consider natural sun light that shines into your space.
Windows can provide a lot of light already. How will you accent the natural light?
Consider using multiple light sources for one space to create the right amount of light (lumens) for each purpose the room/area is used for. Light that is layered from the top down creates a professional look and completes a space.
Lamps Plus is a great place to start for your lighting needs. It’s the nation’s largest lighting retailer, and 2016 marks the company’s 40th anniversary of providing customers a leading combination of selection, service and value.

ceiling fan with good light
A new light for my kitchen
I would love the Vienna Full Spectrum Glimmer Crystal Orb Floor Lamp. It's so chic and gorgeous!
I would love a desk lamp so I can work and feel professional at home and not have all the lights on. I like the Hubbardton Forge Reach Modern Desk Lamp. It's practical and professional. If I had a ton of money because it's well over $700!!
I would love to receive the Light Tree Four Light Bronze Torchiere Floor Lamp.
I would love to receive one of their deer antler chandeliers, they're absolutely beautiful and would go with my country rustic hunting theme!
Would love to get a beautiful Tiffany style floor lamp and a new ceiling fan w/light for my sons room!
I would love the solar powered LED floodlight with security camera. I also love the Eloise lamp.
A Gorgeous Chandelier
We moved last year and we have ZERO ceiling lighting, so we use the few lamps that we do have so it's not pitch black.. We only have the black-out curtains from our old pace too, so we definitely need more lighting! (and if I don't win, at lest I know where we can go to fix our light issue)
Need lights for family room
The 52" Modern Fan Stella Mahogany-Bronze Ceiling Fan with Light would be perfect for us!
I like the Libby Oiled Bronze 3-Light Seeded Glass Floor Lamp
The Tiffany lamps are all beautiful especially quoizel belle Tiffany lamps
The black metal and white glass tulip floor lamp
