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.
