Wye Knot Collection

Table Lamps

table lamps give you light where overhead lighting feels too broad: beside a bed, on a desk or on a table near your usual chair. Choose with the position in mind, from available surface space and easy reach to the height and light level you need. They can also add a softer glow to a darker corner.

Questions about Table Lamps

How do I choose a table lamp for a bedside table?

| Consider the height of the table, how easily you can reach the lamp from the bed and the amount of light you want after dark.

What should I consider when choosing a lamp for a desk?

| Think about where the light needs to fall, the space available on the desk and where you usually sit, so the lamp supports the task at hand.

How should a table lamp sit with nearby furniture?

| Look at its scale alongside the table and surrounding furniture. The lamp should feel in proportion without taking over the surface it stands on.

Are table lamps a good housewarming gift?

| They can be a useful housewarming gift, especially for someone setting up a bedroom, study or living space. Consider where the recipient might need extra light and whether the lamp will suit the available surface.

Placing light where you need it

A table lamp works best when it answers a particular need. For reading or desk work, consider where the light needs to fall, how close the lamp will sit and how much room is available on the surface. At a bedside, its height and reach can make a real difference after dark.

For a side table, consider the lamp in relation to the furniture around it rather than in isolation. Check that the scale suits the surface and decide whether you want a softer pool of ambient light or a more direct position for a task.

As a housewarming present, a table lamp has a clear purpose without being overly personal. Think about the recipient’s room and where extra illumination would be most useful.
