Norwood Valley Gray Lamp

This lamp stands at 25.5 inches, placing it within the ideal 24-to-30-inch range recommended for most side tables and nightstands. Based on interior design principles, a lamp should be approximately 1.5 times the height of the table it rests on for proper proportion. At this height, the bottom of the drum shade is designed to sit near eye level while you are seated or lying down, providing optimal task lighting for reading without the glare of a direct bulb.

This lamp is constructed with a solid ceramic body, providing a substantial and weighted base that offers better stability than lighter plastic or thin metal alternatives. While its weight helps prevent accidental tipping, we recommend placing it on a sturdy, level surface. The casual linen drum shade is also a practical choice for active homes, as it is more resilient and less prone to denting or creasing than paper or metal shade materials.

With a footprint of 15 inches in width and depth, this lamp is perfectly scaled for the more compact furniture often found in urban apartments. The neutral gray tones and casual linen texture provide a sophisticated anchor that can complement a minimalist aesthetic or blend seamlessly into more eclectic decor. Its drum shade provides a clean, vertical profile that maximizes light output and creates a sense of height without occupying excessive visual space in a smaller room.

To preserve the light gray linen shade, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth or a light vacuum attachment. For the ceramic base, a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth and mild soap is sufficient for most cleaning needs. Our care guidelines suggest avoiding abrasive chemicals or harsh cleaners, as these can damage the fired glaze and the brushed nickel accents over time.

Because this lamp features a fired ceramic glaze, each piece possesses unique character. The nature of high-heat firing means the warm gray and aged black glazes may vary slightly in tone, pattern, and the appearance of the rustic brown band from one item to the next. These subtle differences are not defects but rather a hallmark of the ceramic process, ensuring your lamp is a unique addition to your home.
