Table Lamp – Stylish and Practical Solution for Your Bedroom
A bedside table lamp serves two functions: it provides adequate light for pleasant reading and relaxation in the bedroom while also fitting in well with the decor. The decision can be difficult: you must decide on the luminaire’s height and shade size; select the appropriate design; calculate the brightness; and determine the pricing. Fortunately, there are certain fundamental design and selection guidelines that can help. Let’s find out who they are.
Ideal number of table lamps for your bedroom
Typically, one lamp is needed for one person. But for a spacious bedroom or king-size bed, two will provide optimal light balance and symmetry. It is important to remember that even two lamps cannot provide sufficient illumination for the entire room. Complete them with a chandelier, recessed lights or a floor lamp.
How should you choose it?
Width. A common mistake when decorating a bedroom is choosing the wrong size for a table lamp. It may be too small or too large for a bedside table. Consider the “principle of balance”: the wider the mattress, the wider the bedside table; the wider the bedside table, the wider the lamp on it. As a rough rule of thumb, a bedside table is one-third to two-thirds of a mattress, and a bedside lamp is one-third the width of a bedside table when measured at the widest point of the light fixture.
Height. The height of the bed is especially crucial for individuals who prefer to read before going to bed. When reading, light should not beam directly into the eyes and should not fall from above, casting a shadow. Bedside tables are frequently the same height as the bed (or within a few centimetres). In this instance, the rule applies: we pick a lamp that is the same height as the bedside table, plus 5-8 cm. For example, a table lamp with a height of 65-68 centimetres is appropriate for a bedside table with a height of 60 centimetres.
The location of the wall-mounted switch is an important aspect. To turn it on and off, it should be enough to reach out without getting out of bed. The ideal distance of the switch is equal to the length of the arm, averaging 55 to 70 centimetres.
