McKay Farm Khaki Lamp

The neutral khaki and ivory palette makes this table lamp incredibly versatile for regional decor styles. In a coastal home, the translucent crystal base and silk-style shade mirror the light, airy textures of the seaside, while the khaki ceramic adds a grounded, earthy element. For a modern farmhouse aesthetic, the "time-honored" vintage silhouette provides the perfect traditional contrast to clean-lined furniture, helping to create a curated and lived-in feel.

To maintain the luster of the glazed ceramic and crystal, our care guidelines recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For the faux silk shade, a gentle pass with a lint roller or the soft brush attachment of a vacuum is the most effective way to remove dust without stressing the fabric fibers. We advise against using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can dull the glaze or damage the delicate weave of the shade.

This table lamp is an excellent choice for larger bedside nightstands or living room end tables. While many bedside lamps range from 24 to 28 inches, this 30.5-inch model provides a more substantial presence that balances well with high-profile mattresses or larger furniture pieces. Based on standard lighting guidelines, this height ensures the bottom of the shade sits near eye level when you are seated or reclining, providing focused task light for reading while shielding your eyes from the direct glare of the bulb.

This lamp features a khaki glazed ceramic body, a material prized for its rich color depth and long-term durability. Unlike painted finishes, a kiln-fired glaze is resistant to fading and creates a sophisticated, vintage-inspired texture. The addition of a translucent crystal base adds a layer of modern elegance while providing significant weight and a wider footprint, which increases stability and helps prevent the lamp from tipping—a key safety consideration for high-traffic areas or homes with pets.

This lamp requires only partial assembly, which can be completed in just a few minutes without specialized tools. Typically, this involves attaching the harp to the saddle, seating the ivory shade, and securing the assembly with the decorative finial. This modular setup ensures that the delicate ceramic base and silk shade are protected during shipping and remain in pristine condition upon arrival.

The ivory faux silk material is designed to offer a warm, diffused ambient glow that softens the light throughout the room. Because the shade has a classic drum shape, it allows light to escape evenly from both the top and bottom. This makes the lamp highly effective as a primary light source for a reading nook or as a layered lighting piece that adds a cozy, welcoming atmosphere to a larger living space.
