Table lamps are the easiest way to change how a room feels at night: switch off the ceiling light, switch on two lamps at different heights, and the same room becomes somewhere to sit. These lamps are chosen for warm light and honest materials: solid wood bases, ceramic and opal glass shades, a Bauhaus-style desk lamp in enamel and chrome, and cordless rechargeable lamps you can carry from the desk to the dinner table.
Bedside lamps work best when the bottom of the shade sits at about the height of your shoulder when you are propped up in bed, which usually means a lamp around 40 to 50 cm tall on a normal nightstand. A reading lamp for a desk wants an adjustable head. Every product page lists the height, the base diameter, the bulb type and whether the lamp is dimmable or USB-powered.
See wall lighting if you would rather free the table, and pendant lights for the rest of the room.
