Bohemian table lamps

Reckon on a low boho table lamp with a woven shade for a bedside table, and a wider format for a living room console. A boho table lamp comes down to three criteria: the shade material, the bulb base and the height of the stem relative to the furniture it sits on.

What is a boho table lamp and what kind of light does it give?

A boho table lamp is a table lamp with a woven or natural material shade that diffuses filtered light rather than a directed beam. In this collection, the models combine woven bamboo, wicker, travertine or metal, with an E27 or E14 base, and an IP20 rating for dry indoor use.

Boho table lamp: a woven shade, filtered light

The woven weave does the work: light passes through the fibres and scatters in irregular patterns across the wall and furniture. This is accent lighting, not reading light. On Bamora, with its openwork shade, the openings let more light through than a tight weave, whereas Bohlia, with its woven bamboo sphere closes it in more. Travertine, used as a base on Travino Compact and Terrava, stays matte and reflects no shine. If you are after cleaner lines, look at the more understated Scandinavian designs.

Boho-style table lamp: where to place it in the home

On a bedside table, it replaces a ceiling pendant and can be adjusted without getting up. On a hallway console, a shelf or a low living room unit, it marks out a corner without drilling into the wall. The whole Designix lighting catalogue follows this logic of movable accent lighting.

What are the boho chic colours and materials of a boho-style table lamp?

Boho chic relies on a natural palette: beige, brown and black for frames and weaves. Where materials are concerned, this selection combines woven bamboo, wicker shades, stone such as travertine, and metal, all matte surfaces that reflect soft light without directing it.

Which natural materials for a boho table lamp?

Woven bamboo dominates the selection, often mounted on a fine metal frame that holds the shape without weighing down the silhouette. Wicker appears in the shade on Terrava, where it casts irregular shadows onto the travertine base. Stone serves as the base: its weight steadies a lamp you brush past as you lean over. Metal remains the crisp line that draws the outline, on Ulfric as on Bohlia.

Beige, black, brown: which boho chic colours?

Beige accounts for most of the models: it fits anywhere and ages without dating. Black comes in as contrast, on Ulfric and on the Bohlia sphere, for a more graphic look. Brown echoes wood and wicker. Two or three shades per room are enough. For stronger contrast, compare with the black models for living rooms or the gold and black finishes.

Which boho table lamp for the bedroom, and which for the living room?

For the bedroom, a low lamp with a closed shade works on a bedside table, such as a model 24.5 cm or 25 cm high. For the living room, choose a wider format, up to 39 cm high or with a 30 cm shade, placed on a console or a low unit.

How to choose a boho table lamp for the bedroom?

Travino Compact, at 24.5 cm high, lets your eye pass over it when you are sitting up in bed. Bohlia, at 25 cm with a 22.5 cm diameter, fills a narrow bedside table without crowding it. Both formats appear in the table lamps for the bedroom. A dimmer, fitted on Bohlia, lets you lower the intensity late in the evening without changing the bulb.

Large boho table lamp: which format for a living room?

On a console or a low unit, aim for 30 cm and above: Bamora measures 30 cm high with a 30 cm diameter, Terrava 34 cm, Ulfric 39 cm. These volumes hold their own when seen from a sofa. Find more ideas in the table lamps for the living room.

E27 or E14 base: which bulb and wattage for a boho lamp?

The E27 base, a large screw fitting, is used on most models in the collection, while the E14 base is used on the Ulfric model. The stated wattages go up to 40 W. The IP20 rating indicates use in dry indoor spaces, and some models accept a dimmer to lower the intensity.

Boho table lamp: how to read a bulb label?

Three references are enough: the base (E27 or E14), the maximum permitted wattage and the colour temperature. Bamora is rated for a warm white of around 2700 to 3500 K, the range that leans amber and suits the evening. Beyond that, the light turns whiter and hardens natural materials. For solutions with an integrated source, see the design LED versions and the LED for bedrooms.

Dimmer or not: what lighting comfort day to day?

A dimmer adjusts the intensity without changing the bulb: useful on a bedside table, where you go from ambient light to reading light. Bohlia is fitted with one. On the other models, a dimmable bulb can do the job, provided you check its compatibility. All our pieces come with a two-year guarantee.

How to wire several lamps on a single electrical supply?

Several lamps can share one supply: you run from a junction box and each lamp is connected in parallel, on the same conductors, so they receive the same voltage. Switch off the circuit breaker before any work and call an electrician if in doubt.

How to wire several lamps in parallel?

In parallel, each lamp picks up the same conductors from the box: live to live, neutral to neutral, earth to earth, via terminals or connector blocks. A lamp that fails does not switch off the others. Identify the conductors before dismantling anything, and never work live.

Wiring 3 lamps to 1 switch: how to go about it?

The three lamps are connected in parallel to the same supply, and the switch then cuts that supply: they come on together. A separate control per lamp requires extra cabling or wireless modules. If the installation is old, calling in an electrician avoids plenty of surprises. For a workspace, look instead at the desk and work corner and the adjustable lamps.

How to light a boho wall: wall light or table lamp?

A boho wall light frees up the furniture and lights a wall, a picture or a reading corner without taking up surface space, whereas a table lamp can be moved and changed easily. The two combine in a living room: a wall light for vertical ambience, a table lamp for accent light.

Boho chic wall light: when to prefer it to a table lamp?

Choose the wall light when the furniture is already busy, when the work surface must stay clear, or when the wall lacks relief. It goes at eye level, on either side of a bed or above a console. A table lamp stays more flexible if you rearrange often.

Can you mix boho wall lights and table lamps?

Yes, provided you repeat one dominant material: woven bamboo or travertine, two or three times in the room. Without that thread, the whole thing goes in every direction. Black works well as a binder, as on the metal frames and the linen shades.

Italian design table lamp, sphere lamp, floor lamps: how to match them to a boho interior?

Boho welcomes a mix of shapes: a sphere lamp brings a round silhouette, an Italian design line a more graphic outline, a floor lamp a high light. The balance comes from one dominant material, such as woven bamboo or travertine, repeated in two or three pieces.

Design sphere table lamp: where does it fit in a boho setting?

The sphere sits on a shelf, a console or a bedside table, and is as much to look at as to light with. Bohlia is an example: 25 cm high, 22.5 cm in diameter, E27 base and dimmer. Its roundness contrasts with the angles of a bookcase.

Floor lamps and table lamps: how to spread the light?

A tall floor lamp lights the room from the floor, a table lamp works at table height. Layer the two rather than multiplying low sources. Ulfric, with its adjustable head and 39 cm height, serves as directed accent light. For the compact version, see Travino Compact.

How to care for a boho lamp and what are the trends for 2026?

These lamps are dusted dry, with a soft cloth or brush, without any product: woven bamboo, wicker and travertine do not take well to moisture, hence the IP20 rating for dry indoor use. As for trends, the collection focuses on natural materials, beige, black and brown tones, round shapes and warm light.

How to care for a woven bamboo or wicker lamp?

A soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush is enough, about once a month. No damp sponge, no household cleaner: water marks the fibres and the travertine. Switch off and let the bulb cool before touching the shade. The models with a travertine base need only a dry cloth.

What are the table lamp trends for 2026?

Natural materials remain to the fore, with round or original shapes and beige, brown and black tones. Dimmers are gaining ground on bedside models. To go further, compare with the modern table lamps and crystal ones, which give very different results.
