Considering the features of bedside lamps
Bedside lamps help to create an overall sense of relaxation while also acting as a key design feature in your bedroom.
A dimmer switch provides the ideal way to create a sense of ambience and cosiness as it allows you to adjust the brightness of your bedside lamp. For bedside lamps, where the arms extend outward away from the lamp base, these can be ideal option for those who love to read, as they direct light exactly where you need it.
Modern bedside lamps are often multifunctional, and they have features such as USB ports, which means you can charge up your electronic devices as you use your lamp for reading or relaxing.
Choosing the right lampshades
The lampshade is the crowning glory of your bedside lamp. A feature lampshade will impact both the quality of light and the overall look you want for your space. In general, when choosing a lampshade, the shade should be twice as wide as the lamp base and one third of the total height of the lamp.
Key factors to consider when choosing your ideal lampshade:
Material: Lampshades come in various materials, such as fabric, glass, metal and wood. Each material reflects light differently and contributes to the overall style of the lamp.
Shape: Choose a lampshade that complements the base and one that matches your bedroom décor. Popular shapes include bell, empire, and drum.
Size of the lampshade: Ensure the lampshade is proportionate to the base and doesn’t obstruct the light source.
A bedside lamp is a key accessory in any bedroom. It provides light for reading and relaxing, and also allows you to showcase your individual taste and style. Your room will glow with the addition of bedside lamps, and they will elevate your space as you create your dream sanctuary for slumber.
