Why We Love Bedside Reading Lamps
Dark bedrooms are ideal for sleeping, but not much else. Too little light hinders other activities, like reading, dressing, and getting ready for bed. Because no single fixture can effectively serve all bedroom lighting needs, the only way to achieve comfortable and usable bedroom lighting is to use a combination of task lighting and ambient lighting. When you’re crawling into your modern bed at night, ready to curl up with a good book, the last thing you want is a bright light shining in your face. Bedside reading lamps are the perfect accessory to bright, general lighting because they provide the soft ambient light, you’re looking for when you’re ready to unwind.
Bedside Reading Sconce Features
There’s more than one way to achieve bedside lighting. You can opt for a more traditional bedside lamp, or go for a more avant-garde option, like a bedside reading sconce. Regardless of which style fixture you choose, your light should accomplish more than one task. It should do the obvious, provide enough light to get ready for bed. But it should also add to the decor of the room. Wall-mounted bedside reading lights are stylish space savers. They keep your nightstand free of clutter and offer a chic structural presence to the room.
Those with the swing arm allow for total control over the shine, which is perfect for those sharing the bed with someone of a different height. You can mount the lights at the same height for aesthetic purposes, but position the head of the lamp to suit individual needs. Some bedside reading lamps even give you complete control of the brightness with built-in dimming features. Each of these lamps has something special to offer, whether it be a unique feature or an interesting aesthetic detail, so be on the lookout for each one’s different features.
Favorite Wall Mounted Bedside Reading Lamp Colors & Finishes
Bedside reading sconces help keep your nightstands clutter-free or eliminate the need for them altogether. They also provide you with a supplementary lighting source. But, that’s not all they do. These fixtures are also a great way to add a personal touch to your bedroom. If you have mid-century modern nightstands, look for a contemporary fixture with a globe shade to compliment their style. Or, for something more rustic, keep an eye out for a bedside reading lamp with a cool caged shade. Silvery finishes tend to have a modern edge to them, while brass, bronze, and gold fixtures often lean towards a vintage look.
How to Choose the Best Bedside Reading Lamp
What bedside reading lamps are best for you, depends on your needs. If you’re concerned about finding a light that suits two people, sharing the same space, then look for one with both vertical and horizontally adjustable. Alternatively, if your primary concern is having a supplementary lighting source to wind down the evening with, a shaded fixture that provides general lighting is your best choice. Once you know what you’re looking for to satisfy your needs, then you can focus on the aesthetic appeal of the lights.
Other Considerations
There are many types of bedside lighting, and these bedside reading lamps are just one of many. You can also use decorative wall sconces to achieve a more luxurious bedroom lighting scheme. These lights are better for ambient lighting than task lighting, but they offer more in the way of style. Minimalist wall sconces keep things simple with clean lines and subtle details. They’re perfect for creating a relaxing nighttime atmosphere because of their unobtrusive style. Bedside reading lamps are a chance to further express your personal style, so don’t miss out on the opportunity.
