If you need the answer to how to choose the perfect bedside table lamp, here are some important tips to keep in mind while shopping-

Lamp Size: Measure your bedside table and bed to get an idea of what the suitable size of your lamp should be. Rules say that the bottom portion of your bedside table lamp should be at your eye level when you are sitting on the bed.

Purpose: Think about what purpose you want your lamp to serve. For example, if you want to have it for your late-night reading sessions, go for a lamp with adjustable arms that can give you directional lighting for focus. Also, if you want to create a comfortable light level in your bedroom for general lighting, go for bedside lamps with soft shades. Then come decorative lamps with beautiful designs and adjustable lighting that can be used for accent lighting.

Lamp Style: There are lamps that are designed for different bedroom aesthetics. Find one that compliments yours. Like a modern table lamp will go with contemporary style bedrooms. On the other hand, for traditional themes, bedside table lamps with more ornate, detailed designs work best.

Lamp Colour: The colour of walls, furniture, and lamps must be in sync for a cohesive look. 

Hence, take note of your existing colour theme of walls and furniture and look for the lamp colours that match with the colour of your table lamp.

These tips will help you find a lamp that not only looks great but also enhances your bedroom's functionality.

Exploring Colourful Bedside Table Lamps

Colours add vibrancy everywhere. If we talk about colour combinations, a home decor with neutral coloured walls and dark wood furniture looks best with gold or brass bedside table lamps. In a room with minimalist decor, you can try black bedside lamps with chrome or silver finishes. A brown or beige lamp looks great in rooms that have rustic wooden furniture. Also, if you have simple furniture and wall colour but want to give your room a touch of colour, you can go for bold lamp shades in teal, mustard yellow or deep red.

Basically, a vibrant colourful lamp can add so much look and personality to any room. It draws attention and colour up the neutral settings. Soft colours are great for creating a calm vibe while the lamps with metallic finishes like gold or black are great for adding luxurious feels.
