Bedside Lamps
A bedside lamp is with you every evening: for reading, for winding down and for reaching for the light in the night. In this collection you will find compact bedside lamps in glass, metal, wood and natural stone, corded or rechargeable.
Tips for choosing one for the bedroom
- Size: the lamp should leave enough room for a book, glasses or a glass of water. A small bedside table suits a slim shape better.
- Height: if the light source sits roughly at shoulder height when you are lying or sitting in bed, it causes less glare while you read.
- Light: a fabric or opal glass shade gives a soft, diffused light.
By a double bed, two identical lamps look calm and symmetrical, while two different models in matching materials feel more relaxed. Whether a bedroom lamp has touch control, a dimmer or a rechargeable battery is listed in the details of each model.
Frequently asked questions
Corded or cordless bedside lamp: which is better?
A rechargeable bedside lamp such as MIRO or OSLO needs no socket next to the bed, so you can place it freely or even move it to a shelf, though it needs charging regularly. Corded models such as NOKO with its marble base or BELLO in travertine stay put and are always ready to use, with no recharging.
What colour temperature is best for a bedside lamp?
In the evening, warm white light is the most relaxing choice for a bedroom. NARI directs its warm white light downwards onto the bedside table through its mushroom shade. For more flexibility, choose LUMI with three colour temperatures or TOVI with adjustable white light, so you can switch to a more neutral white for reading.
Are there bedside lamps in bold colours?
Yes, several cordless models come in a wide range of lacquered colours. The mushroom lamp ODEN is available in nine colours, from blue and bordeaux to yellow, NARI in seven colours and the slender NORA in six shades such as orange, red or brown. It is an easy way to add a pop of colour or match your bedding.
