Table lamps that set a brighter mood
When you need soft light that doesn’t disrupt the mood, call upon atmosphere-setting bedside table lamps that provide glare-free reading in bed. Or choose softly lit LED table lamps that add a warming glow to your living room or den during movie nights without creating obstructive glare on the screen.
Find the perfect ambient lighting with bedside lamps
Find the right match between style and just enough light as you cozy up to bed to read or watch a show before catching some Zs. Strike the right balance between your sense of style and the size of your nightstand with a selection of smaller bedside lamps that fit anywhere. Go with a table lamp with white colour glass that casts a soft warm glow that you can fall asleep to or select a dimmable metal and glass bedside table lamp with an industrial look. As with an old-timey lamp, just turn the metal knob to dim the light when it’s just one of you reading or when it’s time to drift off to sleep.
Bring light to the living room
To add a soft, warming glow coupled with the wonder of a modern look, go with a large decorative orb in white glass that creates a stunning display as darkness falls while perched on large living room tables or windowsills. Looking to add your sense of style to bookshelves or side tables, choose a smaller LED table lamp with a nickel-plated base holding an industrial glass shade whose ruffled lines create a stunning effect in lighting.
For those drawn to the latest trends, the mushroom lamp is a must-have. With its iconic dome-shaped shade and retro-inspired design, it adds a touch of mid-century modern flair to your space. Perfect for coffee tables, sideboards, or even bedside tables, these charming lamps not only provide a soft, ambient light but also serve as a stylish statement piece in any room.
The perfect light bulbs for your table lamps
A table lamp isn’t complete without the right light bulb. Pair your lamp with energy-efficient LED light bulbs that last longer and use less electricity, helping you save while creating the perfect mood at home. For more flexibility, choose dimmable light bulbs so you can easily adjust the brightness to fit the moment, whether you need task lighting for reading, a cozy glow for movie nights, or a soft ambience to wind down before bed. You’ll also find warm light bulbs that mimic natural daylight, smart bulbs you can control from your phone, and clear bulbs that highlight the beauty of a decorative shade. No matter the style of lamp you choose, the right bulb will always make it shine brighter.
Frequently asked questions about table lamps
How tall should a table lamp be?
That depends on where you’d like to place it and the desired lighting effect you’d like to achieve. For snug spaces like shelving, windows or small bedside tables, smaller decorative IKEA table lamps ranging from over 10 cm to 25 cm in height are an ideal size. For larger spaces such as along recessed windows or in dark living room corners, go with an 11 x 10½ inches decorative globe in white glass.
How do you measure a table lamp?
Consider where you’ll be sitting relative to the lamp and measure from the surface holding the lamp to eye level. While the general advice for table lamps is to have the halfway point of the shade at eye level, our small and large IKEA LED table lamps provide a soft, warming glow that cuts down on glare.
How do you clean table lamp shades?
Table lamp shades are easy to clean with a duster or dust cloth.
