When decorating the place in your home that you’ll be spending most of your time in – your bedroom – there are a few key factors that come into play.
Whether that’s choosing a bedframe or bedhead that centres the room or choosing bed linen that brings a sense of relaxation and calm to the space – ensuring every piece you choose serves a purpose and is meaningful is key. After all, the bedroom should be where you feel the most comfortable, relaxed and, well, at home.
One particular bedroom item that (in our opinion) should never be overlooked is a bedside lamp. You can opt for matching bedside lamps for a cohesive look or mix and match to suit your style. However, finding a bedside lamp that a) provides ambient lighting and b) fits within your existing bedroom and home design aesthetic is a task that shouldn’t be taken lightly.
That’s why we’ve taken it upon ourselves to find the best bedside table lamps that will instantly transform your bedroom into your haven. Read on for our top picks.
