Bedside table lamps

About

The right bedside table lamp does a surprising amount for a bedroom. It handles reading at the end of the day, softens the last hour before sleep, and, when it's off, still finishes the nightstand as a decorative object. Our bedside table lamps range covers everything from compact designs for narrower nightstands to bolder statement pieces that anchor the whole side of the bed. Scale is the first decision. On a shallow or narrow nightstand, a smaller bedside lamp (around 30-40cm tall) keeps the surface usable. On a larger bedside table, a taller lamp brings the light source closer to reading height. As a rough guide, the bottom of the shade should sit at roughly shoulder height when you're seated in bed, so light falls onto a book without shining into your eyes. For nightstands where the nearest socket doesn't cooperate, our rechargeable bedside lamps run off a chargeable cell and skip the cord entirely. They give around 9-17 hours per charge and most are dimmable. Pair either wired or rechargeable bases with one of our small lampshades for a softer, more considered finish.
