✨ Bonus Tips: Lighting with Intention
When styling curio lamps, it’s not just about where you place them but how you use them to create mood. Here are some guiding principles:
• Use warm-toned LED bulbs (2700K–3000K) for a soft glow
• Balance metals with wood, clay, or natural fibers
• Play with symmetry and height using risers or stacked books
• Create light layers by pairing curio lamps with candles or fairy lights
• Place lamps near reflective surfaces like mirrors for expanded light play
