I can't tell if I like the lamp (the red one) or not. It was purchased to replace the nice and simple one in the background in order to better match the decor and dress up the place a bit. I guess I want to gauge your opinions before I let guests see it. Also, if you know of any lamps that would fit my place better please share a link or something! Thanks everyone.

I don't think that it is that great looking. It also doesn't seem to go with what I see of the room. Keep it simple and dress the room up with other accessories. It seems to work if you keep the "bones" of the room simple and add personality with things that are less costly and things that can easily be changed.

The concept isn't a bad idea. But, they do look a bit gaudy, especially with the gold chain around the top. And, I've never liked the color red.
Lampsplus.com and lampsontheweb.com have lots of different kinds of Tiffany torchieres to choose from that are more subdued. Look for browns or other earthy colors to better match your sofa and drapes.

It looks too fussy. Is there room for a table and a table lamp?
That might give you the dressier look you want instead of the torch style lamp.

While I totally understand your desire for a more decorative lamp shade, I do think that particular design is a little too "young" looking with the stars. I would go for something a little more refined & elegant, like one of these:

Good luck!

It looks retro and matches your pillows. I don't think you should mix the simple one with the decorative one though. You should use only one or buy another retro looking lamp.

Those look really cheap. I would send them back.
