Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Jul 11, 2010 6:07 pm I have a 3 seater traditional floral lounge with a lamp table at each end. I only have one lamp which is the perfect colour and shape /size. Do need to have matching lamps at each end? Or could I have a lamp one on one side and, for example, two candle sticks ( one higher than the other) at the other end of the same height as the lamp? Building in Bella Vista Waters Sydney.

Personally, I don't love the matching and symmetrical look, I much prefer a co-ordinated look. The candles sound like a great idea, especially if you can pick up some of the colours in the lamp and couch (maybe you could use coloured candles?). Re: do I need matching lamps???? 5Jul 11, 2010 7:26 pm depends on the rest of the room and what you personnally like. having the same items each side is an easier way to create balance. The balance can also be created with different objects. think about a fireplace - Are you the type of person who would like the order in mirror imaged items placed on the mantle piece, or the type who find interest our of assymmetrical placed pieces? http://www.wisedecor.com/images/idea_gallery/fireplacemantlepicture.jpg http://www.mantelsdirect.com/images/Cecilia_ForGMA.jpg Re: do I need matching lamps???? 8Jul 12, 2010 6:09 pm I totally agree with everyone else, no you don’t need matching lamps.
