Bedside Lamps Online & In-Store

Bedside lamps can make your room shine by adding a practical, personal touch to your bedside table. These bedside table lamps can bring visual symmetry and style to the space, as well as helping to create the desired mood or add contrast to the surrounding decor. 


Bedside lamps are a functional addition to your bedroom as they can provide ambient mood lighting or the perfect task lighting for when you’re curling up with a book. With the addition of smart lighting, you’ll have even more versatility from your smart bedside lamp, allowing you to control the colour temperature, brightness, and automated schedules.z

Bedside table lamps in your favourite styles

Our bedside table lamps are available in all your favourite styles and designs - from Hamptons, to modern, to classic, to traditional, and much more - you’ll easily be able to find a lamp option that suits your home. 


When choosing a bedside lamp, make sure to pay attention to the colour and material of the lamp stand and shades to ensure it complements the rest of the décor in your bedroom.

What is the right size lamp for a bedside table?

The main purpose of bedside table lamps is to provide light for reading or for general ambient lighting in the evening and morning. This means it’s important to choose a bedside lamp that is at the right height for reading in bed while sitting up.


You also want to choose bedside lamps that are the correct scale for your bedroom and bedside table. To ensure the bedside table lamps look suitable in the room, try to make sure the lamp is around one-third of the width of your mattress.

Should a bedside lamp be higher than the headboard?

Your bedside lamps should be in balance with your bedside table and with the size of your bedhead if you have one. Ideally you don’t want your bedside lamps to be higher than one and a half times the height of your bedside table to ensure it doesn’t look too small or too large.

Bedside table lamps provide targeted lighting for reading, create ambience, and serve as stylish accessories that complement your bedroom lighting. At Beacon Lighting, we offer an extensive range of quality bedroom lamps to suit various design preferences, space requirements, and lighting needs.

Styles of Bedside Lamps

Bedside lamps come in numerous design styles to match your bedroom's aesthetic. Contemporary designs feature clean lines and minimalist shapes, ideal for modern interiors. Traditional bedside table lamps often incorporate ornate details, classic silhouettes, and warm finishes like brass or bronze. Industrial-style lamps showcase raw materials such as exposed bulbs, metal finishes, and mechanical elements. Coastal and Hamptons-inspired designs typically feature ceramic bases in white or blue hues with linen shades.

Material Options:

  • Glass and crystal bases add elegance and reflect light beautifully

  • Wooden bases bring natural warmth to bedroom spaces

  • Metal lamps offer durability and structural interest

  • Ceramic options provide colour versatility and textural appeal

Bedside Lamps for Reading

Effective reading lamps deliver proper illumination without causing eye strain. Task-oriented bedside lamps should provide directed light that falls precisely on your reading material. The ideal reading lamp positions the light source above shoulder height, directing light downward onto your book or device. Adjustable bedside table lamps with flexible arms or swivel heads allow you to position the light exactly where needed.

Smart Bedside Lamp Features

Smart bedroom lamps integrate technology with lighting functionality for enhanced convenience. Wi-Fi or Bluetooth-enabled bedside lamps connect to home automation systems, allowing control via smartphone apps or voice commands. Many smart bedside lamps offer customisable settings, including:

  • Adjustable brightness levels from 1-100%

  • Colour temperature control from warm to cool white

  • Full RGB colour spectrum options

  • Programmable schedules and wake-up light features

  • Motion sensors for automatic activation

Bedside Lamps for Small Spaces

Small bedrooms require thoughtful lighting solutions that maximise space efficiency. Wall-mounted bedside lamps eliminate the need for table space, freeing up valuable bedside real estate. Clip-on lamps attach directly to headboards or shelves, providing adjustable light without requiring installation. Compact bedside table lamps with small footprints maintain functionality while occupying minimal surface area.

Choosing the Right Bedside Lamp Size

Lamp proportions significantly impact both functionality and visual balance in your bedroom. The ideal height for bedside lamps typically ranges between 45-65cm, positioning the light source appropriately for reading while maintaining design harmony. The lamp shade diameter should generally measure approximately 1.5 times the width of your bedside table for proper proportion. Consider the lamp's overall dimensions in relation to your bed height and room size for a cohesive look.

Bedside Lamp Placement Ideas

Strategic placement of bedroom lamps enhances both their practical function and visual impact. Position matching bedside lamps symmetrically on either side of the bed for balanced lighting and design coherence. For asymmetrical arrangements, pair a floor lamp on one side with a table lamp on the other to create visual interest while maintaining functionality. In smaller spaces, wall-mounted sconces installed 30-40cm above the mattress provide directional light without requiring surface space.
