Wicker bedside table lamps

Choose a compact lamp or one with a directional head for the bedside: this selection is intended for the bedroom and living room, and some for the office. Woven wicker filters the light and casts a soft shadow on the wall, while the slim frame holds the shade without weighing it down.

Which wicker bedside lamp for which room?

Three formats are available: ø30 cm/H 30 cm, H 39 cm and 50cm/170cm. At the bedside, choose a compact format or a directional head to point the beam at your book. In the living room, a taller lamp provides accent light near the sofa or on a console.

The wicker filters the light and casts a soft shadow on the wall. The metal frame holds the shade without weighing it down, which lets the woven material take up all the visual space. To see other shade treatments in the same room, the table lamps designed for the bedroom offer a good point of comparison.

Wicker bedside lamps for the bedroom

The first criterion at the bedside is the free width on the nightstand. A compact format leaves room for a book and a glass of water. A directional head lowers the beam toward the pillow without lighting the other side of the bed. The Ulfric lamp with directional head meets this need, listed at H 39 cm with an E14 bulb holder.

Which wicker lamp for the living room or office?

In the living room, a taller lamp creates a low pool of light near the sofa or on a console, without competing with the ceiling light. The Tressia lamp in woven bamboo and black steel is intended for the living room and bedroom, with an E27 bulb holder, in 50 cm and 170 cm formats. On a desk, look instead at the models suited to the office.

Willow, rattan or woven bamboo: what are the differences for a bedside lamp?

Willow and rattan are supple wickers with a matte finish; woven bamboo, used in these models, gives a tight weave and a lighter tone. Wood and driftwood offer a more solid, irregular finish. The choice mainly comes down to the space available and the mood you want.

Willow or rattan: which wicker at the bedside?

Willow is woven from fine strands and casts a more pronounced shadow on the wall. Rattan has a more regular mesh and a smooth grain, giving a slightly more continuous light. In both cases, the lamp stays in a dry room. If you are looking for simple lines and light tones, the Nordic models extend this family of materials.

Wood or driftwood bedside lamp: the woven alternative

Solid wood gives a full silhouette; driftwood, bleached and irregular, plays the one-off piece. Woven wicker, by contrast, brings a fine, regular shadow that is visually lighter on a nightstand. For the same softness with a textile rather than a fibre, see the linen shades.

Which light and which bulb holder for a wicker bedside lamp?

Models with an E27 bulb holder take standard-diameter bulbs, while those with an E14 bulb holder take slimmer bulbs: check this before buying. A warm white of 2700 to 3500 K suits the evening. The whole selection is listed as IP20, so for dry indoor use.

E27 or E14: which bulb holder for a wicker bedside lamp?

The bulb holder determines the size of bulb you can screw in, and therefore how much choice you have in store. E27, listed on Tressia and Bamora, allows wider bulbs; E14, listed on Ulfric, requires a slimmer format, suited to small shades. The listed wattage is 40 W. A directional bulb pairs well with directional lamps.

Warm white 2700-3500 K or neutral light at the bedside?

Generally, around 2700 K the light leans amber and encourages relaxation; toward 3500 K it becomes crisper, which helps with reading. Warm white 2700 to 3500 K is listed on Bamora, whose openwork shade lets light through the sides. For more permanent lighting in the bedroom, compare with LED lighting for the bedroom.

How do you wire several lamps to a single power supply?

Several table lamps can share the same supply via a power strip or a socket rail, provided you stay within the wattage the circuit allows. Avoid cables hidden under a rug. To create an extra power point, call an electrician.

Wiring two lamps to a single socket: what to check

Add up the listed wattages of the lamps plugged in together, here 40 W per model, then compare with the circuit concerned. A quality power strip, with a proper cord and sockets that hold firm, is better than a worn-out block. No cable should run under a rug or be trapped in furniture. For a metal bedside, black metal bedside lamps combine well with this setup.

Do you need a separate switch for each bedside lamp?

A switch on the cord or on the base lets you turn on your lamp without getting up or switching off your neighbour's. This is the point to check before buying if you are not using a remote-controlled socket. For an overview of the available families, browse our lighting department.

Italian design bedside lamp: what sets an original lamp apart?

An Italian design bedside lamp is recognisable by its silhouette and the proportion between shade and base, often with indirect light. An original lamp plays with form rather than ornament. Here, woven wicker and slim frames give that character, in a bohemian or Nordic style.

Italian design bedside lamp: which codes to follow?

These pieces first seek a simple line: a discreet stem, a shade that balances the whole, and a light that bounces rather than hitting the eye. No Italian origin is claimed for the models in this collection, listed in bohemian and Nordic style. The intended result is the same: a lamp noticed for its shape, not its details. Modern living room lamps show other approaches to this restraint.

Original bedside lamp: round shapes and openwork shades

The round shape dominates here, and a freer silhouette completes the selection. On an openwork shade, the light comes out through the mesh and draws a pattern on the nightstand. The Bamora model with openwork shade is listed in a vase shape, ø 30 cm and H 30 cm. For a more dressed-up look, also see the crystal versions.

Table lamp or floor lamp: which to choose at the bedside?

A table lamp sits on the nightstand and lights a nearby area; a floor lamp stays on the floor and lights a wider area. At the bedside, a table lamp takes up less space and adapts to layout changes. A floor lamp is better suited to a reading corner or a living room. It does, however, need free floor space, which is not always available in a bedroom. If you are torn between several table formats, our living room selection and the bedroom department compare line by line.

How to pair and care for a wicker bedside lamp

Pair wicker with linen, off-white, light wood or black metal, and keep a single dominant colour. For care, dry dusting is enough: a soft cloth, no wet products. Since the IP20 rating does not protect against water, keep the lamp in a dry room.

White or beige wicker bedside lamps: which to choose?

The collection is split between black and beige, both listed on several models. Beige warms a bedroom with light walls and pairs with linen; black draws a sharper silhouette against a pale background. One dominant colour is enough; the rest stays discreet. For other light bases, see the white design models, and for a strong contrast the gold and black finishes.

How to clean a woven wicker lamp

Dust dry with a soft cloth or a soft brush, never wetting the fibre: moisture distorts the weave. On metal and steel, a soft cloth is enough, with no abrasive. Since the listed rating is IP20, the lamp has no place in a wet room; for a bathroom, a different protection rating is needed.

Payment, delivery and warranty: ordering your wicker bedside lamp

Every order is placed on the Designix site, with secure payment, tracked delivery and the option to return; customer service answers questions about dimensions or bulb holders. The selection is guaranteed for two years. Before confirming, check the bulb holder, the listed format and the colour on the model page. These three points prevent most returns. Check the format against your nightstand, read the bulb holder on the socket, and confirm the colour with the rest of the room. Once you have these references, our full range of lighting lets you complete the rest of the lighting without changing register.
