table lamp for bedroom

A Wooler bedroom table lamp adds warmth and ambiance to your sleep space. It can also serve as a focal point for your room’s decor, so choose one that speaks to your style and personality. The best table lamps for your bedside table blend with the design elements in the rest of your space, while still adding a creative touch.

Whether your taste is vintage industrial, modern minimalist or something in between, we have plenty of options to suit your bedroom. If you’re going with a contemporary or industrial design, consider a freestanding lamp with a sleek silhouette that blends seamlessly on your nightstand. Or, opt for a metal and bronze finish base with a fabric shade for a classic look that works with many design styles.

Another option is to try a modern table lamp with a prismatic glass enclosure that lends a touch of retro-retro flair. The clean lines of this style are a perfect complement to minimalist designs, and the dimmer effect gives you control over the mood. You can even get a set of two to create an eye-catching duo that’s perfect for your bedside table.

For a more traditional bedside table lamp, go with a set like the Haitral Small Bedside Table Lamps. The set comes with two lamps, each featuring a metal base and an oil-rubbed bronze finish. They have a standard bulb socket that accommodates both regular and energy-efficient bulbs, as well as a soft, light-filtering shade in your choice of gray, beige, white or black. The price is right, too.

If you’re not a fan of cords, check out our selection of plug-in reading lights. These sleek, streamlined lamps plug in directly to your nightstand’s outlet and come with an encased LED bulb that lasts up to 25,000 hours. The light emits a warm, soft glow that’s ideal for reading. And since they have a flexible arm, you can position them just about anywhere you need.

Wall sconces are another great way to brighten up your bedroom without a lot of hassle or extra cost. These simple wall-mount fixtures can be wired by a professional, or you can choose a plug-in model that connects to your smartphone to give you more control over the ambiance. For example, you can get a smart orb lamp that gradually gets brighter to wake you up in the morning, just like a natural sunrise would.

When shopping for a table lamp, make sure to keep in mind your bedside tables’ dimensions and the height of your headboard and mattress. You want a fixture that’s tall enough to provide ample light for reading, but not so high it feels imposing.

You can also use a mirror hung above your bed to reflect more light back into the room. This is especially effective in rooms with limited windows or those that are dark from early to late evening. Just be sure the reflected light doesn’t distract from your favorite paintings or other decor in the room.
