How to choose the perfect table lamp

• Purpose: Choose a table lamp based on its purpose and where it will be placed. For your workspace, pick a practical desk lamp that provides focused illumination. In the bedroom, a dimmable bedside table lamp or nightstand lamp creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. Scandi table lamps can also work beautifully as window lights or reading lights next to your armchair.

• Materials: The material of a lamp affects its mood and style. For soft ambient lighting, consider a glass shade or a paper shade with a cosy, Nordic touch. For a modern and bold look, choose industrial-style metal lamps, or add a natural feel with a wooden table lamp. Luxurious and characterful materials like brass and marble bring timeless and tactile elegance to any space.

• Technical features: Contemporary table lamps often include smart features to suit various needs. Many designs feature dimmers, timers, or memory functions, making them adaptable for different lighting situations. Adjustable arms and directional shades are especially useful for task lamps and reading lamps.

• Dimmability: A dimmable table lamp is an excellent choice for bedrooms and living spaces, letting you effortlessly switch between bright task lighting and a soft, cosy glow.

• Portability and outdoor use: Cordless table lamps are perfect for moving from room to room, while some models are also designed for outdoor use, lighting up your terrace or garden table during summer evenings.
