Bedside lamp

To choose a bedside lamp, check three things: the height suitable for your nightstand, the bulb base (E27 or E14 on most models), and the light temperature. A warm white 2700-3500K creates a cozy atmosphere, ideal before sleep.

How to choose your bedside lamp?

To choose a bedside lamp, check the height in relation to your nightstand, the bulb base, and the desired light temperature. The entire selection is IP20 rated, for dry indoor use only, and comes with a two-year warranty.

The ideal height is generally between 38 and 50 cm, so the lampshade is at shoulder height when you are reading while sitting in bed. The E27 base is the most common among all our table lamps; E14 is used for reading lights and small formats, GU10 for compact wall sconces, and G9 for very slim models. For all your indoor lighting, a 2700-3500K warm white promotes evening relaxation.

In terms of budget, the selection ranges from sober entry-level pieces to exceptional items in marble or crystal. Find the most affordable models on the dedicated page.

Which bedside lamp provides good light for reading?

For reading in bed, choose a reading light with an adjustable head that directs the beam onto the page without dazzling your partner. A dimmer adjusts the intensity according to the time, and a 2700-3500K warm white preserves visual comfort in the evening.

The Java adjustable reading light measures 39 cm, has an E14 base, and is made of bamboo and metal: its head pivots to concentrate the light where you need it. The Steinhauer dimmable model (H 40 cm, E27, cork lampshade, Nordic style) offers continuous intensity adjustment without changing the bulb. LED enthusiasts can explore LED models for reduced power consumption.

What is the best lamp for a bedroom?

The best bedroom lamp combines a 2700-3500K warm white light, a lampshade that diffuses the beam, and, ideally, a dimmer to modulate intensity throughout the evening. Natural materials like bamboo, linen, or travertine enhance the soothing atmosphere conducive to rest.

For a bedroom lamp, three models stand out in the selection. Maze (bamboo, Ø 30 cm, H 30 cm, warm white E27, 40W) diffuses light well without a rigid lampshade. The Travino travertine bedside lamp (H 49 cm, E27, dimmer, stone and beige linen) adds a very soothing mineral texture. The Linen Bear (diameter 20 cm, E27, beige, 40W max) completes a natural bedroom decor without being ostentatious. To light your bedroom consistently, pair the bedside lamp with a ceiling light of the same color temperature.

Designer and Italian-design bedside lamps: which styles should you know?

A designer bedside lamp is recognizable by its clean lines and noble materials: marble, blown glass, brass, or bronze. The collection covers a wide range of styles, from contemporary to bohemian, as well as Nordic and vintage.

The Anthea marble lamp, in cream marble, blown glass, and bronze base (H 38 cm, E27, warm white, dimmer), embodies this Italian design bedside lamp register: expensive materials, sober geometric lampshades. Our designer selection also includes Orion, a golden ball in metal and glass (30 cm, E27), whose round shape refers to 1960s Scandinavian design. Jira in crystal and brass (158 cm, E14, dimmer) is in a luxury category: its facets capture and redistribute light. For bedside lamps with modern lines, raw metal and iron structure the vast majority of references.

Original bedside lamps: which atypical shapes and materials?

An original bedside lamp departs from classic shapes: the Serenity Natural tree branch, the Bear velvet animal lamps, or the Sunset golden hour glow. Spherical shapes, jungle patterns, and unexpected materials bring a unique decorative touch to the nightstand or children's bedroom.

Serenity Natural (metal, glass, iron, 45 cm, warm white 5W) creates a jungle atmosphere without taking up much space. Sunset (metal, glass, brass, 27 x 10 cm, orange and pink tones, 20W) is suitable for both adult bedrooms and offices. The velvet Bears (diameter 20 cm, E27, green, black, or gold, 40W max) are among the models with an original style. For a child's room, also check the range for children's bedrooms.

How do you connect several lamps to a single electrical outlet?

To connect several lamps to a single electrical outlet, connect them in parallel: each lamp receives phase and neutral from the same point, which preserves their individual brightness. If in doubt about the installation, hire a qualified electrician to ensure safety.

In practice, the sum of the power of all connected bulbs must not exceed the power allowed by the circuit (check the circuit breaker rating). Always turn off the power before any intervention. All models in the selection are IP20 rated: dry indoor use only, no contact with humidity.

How do you recognize a real salt lamp?

To recognize a real Himalayan salt lamp, observe its irregular amber color, its heavy weight, and its hygroscopic nature: the crystal captures moisture and can slightly ooze. An overly uniform red light or a very light object often betrays an imitation.

The question "salt lamp red light" often comes up: an authentic lamp indeed emits a warm, naturally irregular red-orange tint, never perfectly uniform. The question "salt lamp danger" mainly concerns the electrical condition (worn cable, bulb unsuitable for the indicated power), not the crystal itself. If you are looking for this warm lighting atmosphere without the constraints of hygroscopic salt, bamboo lamps like Maze or Java produce a very soft warm white light, ideal for a bedroom.

Table lamp, floor lamp, or bedside wall sconce: what to choose?

To be placed on the nightstand, a table lamp remains the classic choice; a flexible wall sconce frees up surface space in small bedrooms; a floor lamp illuminates a reading corner or dresses up a chic living room. The choice depends on the available space and the bed configuration.

Table lamps like Orion (ball, 30 cm, E27) or Bloeba (braided bamboo, H 25 cm, Ø 22.5 cm, E27, dimmer) adapt to standard-sized nightstands. The Natasja wall sconce (wood, metal, cork, lampshade Ø 5 cm, GU10, 9-10W warm white) mounts to the wall: it is the collection's benchmark for small space-saving formats. For sconces and wall lamps, check the distance between the mountings and the height of your headboard. Jira in crystal and brass (158 cm, E14, dimmer) works as a chic living room floor lamp just as well as a bedroom bedside lamp.

Metal, glass, wood, or bamboo: which material and color for your bedside?

Metal dominates the selection (80% of models), combined with iron (40%), glass (30%), fabric (23%), or wood (20%). Bamboo, linen, marble, and travertine complete this panorama. Regarding colors, white and black each occupy half of the selection, gold 47%, and beige 43%.

The bamboo of Maze or Bloeba fits into a bohemian or Nordic decor; for bamboo-linen combinations, explore the bohemian spirit of the collection. The blown glass of Anthea or Orion diffuses a soft and homogeneous light: glass lampshades are particularly suitable for bedrooms seeking shadow-free lighting. For an all-black bedside, the black color groups the dark versions of Java, Steinhauer, and Oursons. The golden touches of Orion and Jira add a luxury note without overloading. Regarding wood, the wood finishes cover Steinhauer (metal-wood, Nordic style) and Medium Beige Driftwood (wood, fabric, linen, 90 x 42 cm, bedroom). To complete your home lighting, pair the bedside lamp with a ceiling light of the same color temperature.

Need a reading light for the evening? The Java adjustable reading light is the collection's benchmark for reading in bed. Are you looking for a designer dimmable bedside lamp with a noble finish? The Anthea marble lamp meets this profile.
