Choosing New Bedroom Lamps

Apr 28th 2017 Staff

Your bedroom is a relaxing, intimate space, and it’s important to have the appropriate lighting in order to achieve the level of relaxation and intimacy you desire. One tried and true method of providing adequate light is to have the right bedroom lamps, whether they’re on your bedside tables, on your dresser, or standing on the floor behind your favorite chair. At Hortons Home Lighting, we can help you find new bedroom lamps that fit your personal style and specific lighting needs.

Bedside Lamps

We’ve all seen the classic sitcoms where the husband and wife kiss each other goodnight and turn to their side of the bed to turn off their lamps. We’ve also seen characters wake up in the middle of the night with an idea or a problem and immediately turn on their bedside lamp. These lamps are an essential part of any bedroom, and there are several styles to choose from other than the traditional standing lamp. If you plan to use the lamp for reading before bed, you’ll want to make sure the light is high enough to illuminate the pages. A swinging arm wall lamp could be the best option, but it’s important to keep in mind that you may have to swing it against the wall when you’re done using it, otherwise you may run into it when you get out of bed in the morning. Your bedside lamp should be easily accessible from where you’re sitting or lying, and you shouldn’t have to strain to turn it on or off. There are fixed options that can be attached to the wall, as well as clamp lights that attach to your headboard. Our lighting experts can help choose the best options for your bedside illumination.

Standing and Floor Lamps

If you have a favorite chair in your bedroom where you love to sit and read on the weekends, a standing floor lamp can provide the light you need by which to see. A lamp with an adjustable neck or arcing design can help you position the light where you need it, and if it’s nestled into a corner of the room, you won’t have to worry about it being in the way.

Other spots to consider putting a table or small standing lamp are on your dresser, vanity table, or other piece of furniture where you may need light at some time. Leaving the overhead light off and using only the lamps for light can make your bedroom more inviting and comfortable.
