Modern, Traditional, or What?

"Should tables and lamps be modern, traditional, or what, to go with a three-piece sectional curved sofa in a dark green tweed?"— (Mrs.) L.H., Tauranga.

The tweed cover suggests types of tables and lamps that are not too formal, but they needn't be strictly modern. Fairly simple traditional styles or modern, either one, would look well if the shapes and sizes of the tables and lamps are harmonious with, and convenient to, the sofa.
