The 15 Best Bedside Lamps for Every Type of Interior Design Style

Bedside lamps are not only a must-have to provide enough light for comfortable bedtime reading, but we also want them to look great in the space.

Choosing the right nightstand lamp can be confusing, though — after all, there are so many options. The most important thing to get right when selecting a bedside lamp is the sizing. For a rule of thumb, your bedside lamp should be one-third the width of your nightstand when measured at the lamp's widest point.

Once you have the width, you need to figure out the height. Assuming that your bedside table is the same height as your mattress, you want your lamp to be around the same height as your nightstand, plus a couple of inches. So, if your nightstand is about 24 inches high, a lamp that's 26-27 inches tall will sit perfectly. Remember: You don't want the lamp to shine over your head, nor do you want the light to be right in your eyes.

To help you narrow down your search, we've chosen some of the best bedside lamps out there. Keep reading to find a nightstand lamp that fits your budget, style, and features preferences.
