How to Choose the Perfect Bedside Lamp | Trendz

A bedside lamp does more than just light up your nightstand — it sets the mood, adds style, and makes your bedroom feel complete. Whether you’re winding down with a book or creating a cosy glow, the right lamp can be the perfect finishing touch to your bedroom design.

📏 1. Pick the Right Size

Your lamp should be in proportion to your bedside table and bed. A general rule? The bottom of the lampshade should sit roughly at eye level when you’re seated in bed — usually 55–65cm tall for most bedside setups.

🎨 2. Match Your Style

Choose a lamp design that complements your bedroom décor:

  • Modern Minimalist: Sleek lines, neutral tones, and metallic accents
  • Coastal: Natural textures, rattan, and soft whites
  • Classic: Timeless silhouettes with fabric shades
  • Eclectic: Bold colours and unique bases for a statement look

💡 3. Choose the Right Lighting

Consider what you’ll use your lamp for most:

  • Reading: Opt for a focused, adjustable light
  • Ambience: Warm, soft bulbs for a relaxed glow
  • Multi-Use: Dimmable lamps for flexibility

🛋️ 4. Pair with Your Bedside Table

Your lamp should work in harmony with your bedside table in both size and style. If your table is small, consider a slim base or wall-mounted lamp to save space.

✨ Styling Tip

Layer your lighting — pair bedside lamps with overhead lighting and perhaps a floor lamp in the corner to create depth and warmth in your bedroom.
