Bohemian Bedside Lamp

A boho bedside lamp is chosen first for its light: a woven bamboo, rattan or wicker shade filters the bulb and casts soft shadows on the wall. Then count the height, from 24.5 to 43 cm depending on the model, and the socket, usually E27, E14 on the Java reading lamp.

What is a boho bedside lamp?

A boho bedside lamp is recognised by its natural, woven materials: bamboo, rattan, wicker, sometimes combined with metal, brass or stone. It gives off a soft light, sits on a bedside table or a console, and comes with an E27 or E14 socket.

What changes the room is the filter: the light passes through the weave and scatters in fine lines on the wall instead of falling in one block. The Maze lamp in woven bamboo measures 30 cm in diameter by 30 cm high and takes a screw-in E27 bulb. Its product page states a warm white light of 2700 to 3500 K, an IP20 protection rating and a Nordic boho style. To compare materials, browse the rattan models. Wider still, our lighting catalogue covers the other families.

Boho chic or natural boho bedside lamp: which shade?

The natural version stays with bamboo, wicker and raw tones. The chic version adds brass, stone or a dark base, such as Bloeba, a ball shade with a black base, 25 cm high by 22.5 cm in diameter. Both registers sit well together in the same bedroom, as long as you keep the same family of tones.

Italian design or boho bedside lamp: how do the styles differ?

Italian design plays with fine lines, glass, brass and stone; boho plays with weaving and handcraft. The two meet on several pieces, and the designer bedside lamps bring both registers together. Above all, look at the proportions of your bedside table before deciding on style.

What is the ideal size for a bedside lamp?

The size depends on the furniture: compact models measure 24.5 to 30 cm high, the largest go up to 34, 39 or even 43 cm. A lamp whose shade reaches shoulder height, once seated, lights without dazzling. Above all, check the space on the tabletop.

The rule of thumb stays simple: shade at shoulder height once seated, without going above the head of the bed. On a narrow tabletop, look first at the diameter, between 22.5 and 30 cm. The Travino Compact, 24.5 cm high, fits on a small table. The small bedside lamps gather these short formats. For a wide bed, the bedside lamps for the bedroom complete the choice.

What light does a boho bedside lamp give?

These lamps take a screw-in bulb when a socket is stated: E27 on Maze, Bloeba, Travino, Travino Compact and Chaleur Tressée, E14 on the Java reading lamp. The result then comes from the bulb: warm white 2700 to 3500 K for a soft light, cool white above 4500 K for reading.

Warm white keeps the bedroom soft in the evening; cool white, stated on Aura Boho, is better for reading or working. The LED bedside lamps go in that direction. The product pages in the selection state the E14 and E27 sockets. To see other sockets, browse the bedside lamp range. For the bulb, check whether it is included on each product page before buying.

Where to place a boho lamp: bedroom, living room or office?

The bedroom remains the most common use, but these lamps also sit on a living room console, a desk or a hallway unit. Placed at table height, the light falls on the book or screen without rising to the eyes; higher up, a wall light that frees the tabletop is better.

Boho bedside lamp for the bedroom: what atmosphere?

Two light points are better than one large ceiling light: a lamp on each table, switched on separately, let the other person sleep. Low light is reassuring, and the weave dresses the wall with offset shadows. The selection dedicated to bedroom lighting gathers these uses, including for an adult bedroom.

Chic living room lamp and floor lamp: how to complete the picture?

In the living room, the lamp becomes a supplement: it lights an armchair or a console without turning on the ceiling light. A table lamp is often enough. For a whole area, a bedside floor lamp or a floor lamp takes over in the corner, and the small lamp stays near the sofa.

Boho wall light or cordless bedside lamp: what solution without a socket?

The lamps in this selection plug into the mains. To avoid a visible cable, the solution is a wall light, fixed at reading height, or a placed model whose cable is tucked along the furniture, with a switch within reach near the bed.

Boho wall bedside lamp: at what height should it be fixed?

In general, the wall light is placed 40 to 60 cm above the mattress, aligned with the shoulder once seated, so as not to dazzle when lying down. The height is set against that of your bedside table so the two respond to each other. The wall lights free the tabletop and avoid drilling into the furniture.

Can you do without a socket near the bed?

Not entirely: no product page for these models mentions a battery or charging, so the power supply must stay nearby. You can move the power point or choose a lamp whose cable runs discreetly along the wall to the nearest socket, with the switch within reach from the pillow.

How to match a boho lamp with the rest of the room?

In this selection, beige dominates, alongside black, white, brown and orange. The simple rule: keep only one visible weave per piece of furniture, match beige with light wood and black with brass, reserve orange for a single touch. Dimmable models adapt in the evening.

Boho and Nordic: how to combine the two styles?

Nordic brings simple lines and light tones, boho brings woven material. The two layer effortlessly on the same bedside table. The wooden bedside lamp plays that junction, and black pairs with metal in the dark models.

Cheap boho bedside lamp: where to save?

The budget plays out on the material and the fineness of finish, not on use: a weave combined with metal stays affordable, stone and brass lean towards the more elaborate piece. The low-priced bedside lamps cover the compact formats. The current price is shown on each product page, to compare at the time of choosing. On materials, metal pieces stand up well to daily use.

Can you plug two lamps into the same socket in a bedroom?

Yes, provided you add up the bulb wattage and stay within what the circuit supports. A strip or a multi-socket extension with separate sockets works for two lamps of moderate power; avoid stacking extensions. To create an extra supply point, an electrician is needed.

How to connect several lamps to a single electrical supply?

First count the bulbs installed, then compare the total with what the circuit already accepts. Two lamps with E27 bulbs stay within the usual orders of magnitude for a bedroom. A quality multi-socket strip, placed on the floor and not under the bed, limits heating and keeps the connections accessible.

Extension lead, strip or connector blocks: when to call an electrician?

An extension lead or a strip makes do with an existing socket. As soon as you need to recess a cable, move a supply point or add a wall switch, going through an electrician avoids nasty surprises. It is also the right time to plan two separate controls, one on each side of the bed.

How to recognise a real salt lamp?

A real salt lamp is cut from a block of rock salt, with an irregular surface, veins and a weight that surprises. It lets through an amber light, never frankly white. A copy in resin or tinted glass is smooth, light, and its lighting stays uniform.

Why does a salt lamp glow red?

The tint comes from the mineral itself: rock salt filters the light and pulls it towards amber and orange-red. This result varies with the density of the block and the bulb fitted inside. A frankly white light generally signals an imitation rather than a cut block.

Salt lamp or boho bedside lamp: which to choose?

The salt lamp gives a very warm light and a massive object, which does not always replace a true reading point. For a bedside, a boho lamp in woven bamboo or wicker stays more practical day to day. If you are looking for a piece that stands out, the more original pieces offer other silhouettes.

How to care for a bamboo, rattan or travertine lamp?

Bamboo and rattan are dusted dry, with a soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush, without standing water. Travertine simply needs a damp wipe followed by drying, and stays away from splashes, as the IP20 rating of the whole selection reminds us.

Cleaning bamboo, rattan and travertine without damaging them

A soft cloth is enough for the weave, a soft brush for the hollows. Avoid abrasive products, standing water and hard rubbing on the fibres. Stone is dried after wiping to avoid marks. A lamp placed near a window needs dusting more often than a hallway lamp.

Bamboo, travertine, rattan: materials and sockets for each room

The manufacturer's warranty is 2 years across the selection. Secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and Designix customer service frame every order. To choose, start from the dimensions of your bedside table, then compare the sockets in the table. When the time comes, find all our lamps and the dimmable models, such as Aura Boho or the Java reading lamp with an adjustable head.
