What are the different types of bedside lamps? 

There are many different types of bedside lamps, each with their own unique features and benefits. Perfect for winding down, many people prefer to reading at night before they go to sleep – and lights make it happen. Whether you want to work in the dark or read a novel, a LED light with a CRI of 80 and colour temperature of 2700k will help. Here are some of the most popular types of bedside lamps:    

Table Lamps

Table lamps are perhaps the most common type of bedside lamp. They are typically small and easy to move around, making them a great option for those who like to change up their decor often. Leaving room by your bedside for décor, table lamps also allow you to style your table with accent pieces like mirrors, plants, or an extra crystal table lamp. Plants, mirrors, and a chic shade will bring the room together.  

Floor Lamps 

If you don’t have a table at your bedside, a floor lamp makes a great alternative to table lamps. Lights that sit on the floor help to illuminate your whole room softly, creating a warm ambiance. They’re also a focal point of the room, and add plenty of style without taking up a lot of space.  

Globe Lights 

In a petite size perfect for small tables, globe lamps have a feature bulb rather than a LED light of lexi lighting. Casting a diffused light, a globe lamp can double as a night light when dimmed. These table lights aren’t a substitute for a desk lamp, so we would opt for different table lights if you need bright illumination.  

Glass Lamps 

Sleek and modern, these lights are a great choice for minimalistic or scandi spaces. With a glass shade and body, the light emanates from the entire lamp, making it a great choice as both a desk lamp or table lights.  

Lamps with shades

Ideal for any place in the house, but particularly a table at your bedside, lamps with shades are a great choice. With a lampshade made out of a material like linen or rattan, this style hides the utilitarian LED and diffuses the light more softly. Style it with plants and a ceramic dish for a timeless look.  What are the best bedside lighting for specific needs? There are many different types of bedside lamps, each with their own specific purpose. Here is a list of the best bedside lamps for specific needs:  

For reading 

A lamp with a good light source that is not too harsh on the eyes is ideal for reading. A gooseneck lamp is also a good option for reading in bed, as it allows you to angle the light directly on your page. Say goodbye to eye strain!   

For relaxing 

A lamp with a soft, warm light is perfect for relaxing in bed. Opt for a yellow globe rather than a white globe to keep the space feeling cosy, and try a lampshade for extra softness.  

For lighting a room

If you only have harsh overhead lighting in your living room or dining room, a floor lamp is a great alternative. Opt for a high wattage globe and use the floor lamp to gently illuminate the room. We love placing floor lamps in a corner to brighten without dazzling. 

What are the most popular bedside lamps on the market? 

There are a few different types of bedside lamps that are popular on the market. The most common type is the table lamp. These lamps come in a variety of styles, sizes, and colors. They can be made from a variety of materials, including glass, metal, and plastic. Table lamps are typically used to provide task lighting, such as reading or writing. Another type of popular bedside lamp is the floor lamp, which can be used for larger areas and can illuminate the majority of your bedroom. 

How do I choose the right table lamp?

Consider the lamp's size, style, brightness, and whether it matches your room's decor. Adjustable features and the type of bulb (like LED) can also play a crucial role. Knowing the purpose can help your decision, such as opting for a brighter, blue light lamp or a focused beam for reading and writing while choosing a lamp with a soft, diffused glow for ambient lighting.

How do I know the right size for a table lamp?

The lamp should be in proportion to your table and room size. For bedside tables, the lamp's bottom should be at chin level when sitting up in bed.
