Our bedside lamps range: what we hand-pick and why

We hand-pick 1,069 bedside lamps across more than ten brands. Our own-brand Niori range covers 231 designer-positioned pieces, sitting alongside Mantra (269), Elstead Lighting (140), Ideal Lux (106), Diyas (100) and Schuller (49), with smaller specialist ranges from Maytoni, Quoizel, Impex and Libra Interiors. The mix is deliberate: Mantra and Ideal Lux give us modern and contemporary options at accessible price points, Elstead and Quoizel cover traditional and transitional styles, and our Niori own-brand range adds the designer alabaster, marble and natural-stone pieces difficult to source elsewhere. Across the range, 620 lamps sit under £150, 370 between £150 and £400, with the remainder higher into the designer tier.

Alabaster, marble and natural-stone bedside lamps

Of the full range, 124 bedside lamps use real natural alabaster (11.6%) and a further 64 use marble (6.0%). These are pieces where the material itself is the design feature: light passes through alabaster rather than bouncing off it, picking up the natural veining inside each block and producing a soft glow that varies subtly between pieces. Marble blocks most light, so the stone usually forms the base with the shade in fabric or glass above. For the alabaster cut specifically, browse our alabaster table lamps range; essentially all of those pieces sit inside the bedside lamps catalogue.

Our own-brand designer bedside lamps from our Niori own-brand range

Our Niori own-brand range contributes 231 of the bedside lamps in this catalogue. These are the pieces we design and produce in-house, sitting in the designer bedside lamps tier and built around natural alabaster, marble, brushed brass and matt black metalwork. The Niori own-brand range pairs well across rooms because the materials and finishes stay consistent: a Selvara alabaster bedside lamp shares its panel stock and metalwork with the matching wall lights and pendants in the same family. To browse only the own-brand designer cut, follow our designer table lamps range, which is essentially the Niori own-brand subset of this collection.

Small and compact bedside lamps

Small bedside lamps are the most-searched use-case in the UK, and a meaningful share of our range is sized for nightstands with limited surface area. We classify a lamp as compact when its footprint sits under 20cm diameter and total height stays under 35cm, leaving room for a book, glass of water and phone. Most use E14 fittings or integrated LED to keep the shade compact. At the other end, tall bedside lamps (45-65cm) suit larger bedrooms with deeper nightstands, lower beds, or rooms where the lamp doubles as ambient lighting; these typically use E27 fittings and larger fabric or alabaster shades.

Bedside reading lamps for late-night reading

For late-night reading, position matters as much as the lamp itself. A good bedside reading lamp puts the bulb level with your shoulder when sitting up in bed, with the lower edge of the shade just above eye level so light falls onto the page without glare. Bedside reading lamps with adjustable arms or directional heads let you angle the light precisely onto a book; fixed-shade lamps with opaque or fabric shades give softer, ambient light suited to longer sessions. Warm white output (around 2700K) is standard across most of the range and is the right colour temperature for evening reading.

Touch-control and dimmable bedside lamps

Touch-control and dimmable bedside lamps adjust brightness without reaching for a switch. Touch lamps cycle through levels by tapping the base or metal stem, useful for half-asleep adjustment without finding a cord. Fully dimmable lamps use either a rotary dimmer on the cord or a wall-mounted dimmer switch on the circuit. We stock pieces from Mantra, Ideal Lux and our own-brand Niori range with touch-control and step-dimming features, plus a smaller selection of bedside lamps with USB charging ports built into the base. Check product specifications for the exact control type, since touch sensitivity and dimming range vary between models.

Modern and contemporary bedside lamps

Modern and contemporary bedside lamps make up the largest aesthetic cut of the range, covering clean architectural forms, minimal mounting hardware, and finishes in brushed brass, brushed steel, matt black, soft white and natural stone. Mantra and Ideal Lux contribute strongly here with sculptural ceramic and metal bases; our Niori own-brand range adds the alabaster and marble pieces in the same modern register. Contemporary in this context overlaps with modern but leans slightly more decorative , softer curves, mixed materials, and occasional textile or crystal accents. Both registers work well in current bedroom interiors, particularly alongside upholstered headboards, oak or walnut nightstands, and warm neutral wall colours.

Bedside lamps vs nightstand lamps: UK and US terminology

The same fixture has different names in different markets. In the UK, the standard term is bedside lamps or bedside table lamps, with bedside light as a synonym. In the US, the same products are searched as nightstand lamps or nightstand lamp; the term refers to the same piece of furniture (the small table next to the bed) and the same lighting product. Australian customers use UK terminology. A Niori alabaster bedside lamp in the UK is the same piece a US customer would find under alabaster nightstand lamp. We ship the full range worldwide directly from our UK studio.

How to care for our bedside lamps

Care varies by material. For alabaster and marble, dust with a dry microfibre cloth; for marks, use a soft cloth dampened with plain water and avoid soap, alcohol-based cleaners or abrasive products. For fabric shades, vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment on low suction; spot-clean light marks with a damp cloth. For glass and crystal shades, a soft cloth with glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth keeps the surface clear. For ceramic and metal bases, a dry microfibre cloth is enough. When replacing bulbs, switch off at the wall and let the bulb cool first. Most modern bedside lamps are rated for LED bulbs up to 7-10W. We include care instructions with every piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes of bedside lamps do you stock?
Our range covers both compact and taller pieces. Small bedside lamps sit under roughly 20cm diameter and 35cm in height, sized for nightstands with limited surface area. Tall bedside lamps typically run 45-65cm in height and suit larger bedrooms, lower beds, or rooms where the bedside lamp also acts as ambient lighting. Most small pieces use E14 fittings or integrated LED to keep the shade compact; taller pieces tend to use E27 fittings with larger fabric, alabaster or marble shades. Each product page lists exact dimensions, fitting type and shade diameter so you can match the lamp to your nightstand.

Why are bedside lamps called nightstand lamps in the US?
The terminology differs by market but the product is the same. In the UK and Australia, the standard term is bedside lamp or bedside table lamp, named after the bedside table furniture piece. In the US, the same furniture is called a nightstand, so the lamp on it is called a nightstand lamp or nightstand lamps in plural. Our full range serves both markets from the same catalogue; the products are identical regardless of which term brought you to the page. We ship directly to the UK, US, Australia and worldwide.

Which bedside lamps are best for reading?
For late-night reading in bed, the best bedside lamps put the bulb roughly level with your shoulder when sitting upright, with the shade edge just above eye level so light falls onto the page without glare. Lamps with adjustable arms or directional heads let you angle light precisely onto a book; fixed-shade lamps with fabric or opaque shades produce softer ambient reading light for longer sessions. Warm white output around 2700K is the standard colour temperature for evening reading and is fitted on most of our range. Cooler 3000K bulbs suit earlier task-style reading. Filter by adjustable head or directional shade to narrow to the reading-focused pieces.

Are your bedside lamps dimmable or touch-controlled?
A meaningful share of our range is either touch-controlled, fully dimmable, or both. Touch lamps cycle through brightness levels when you tap the metal base or stem, useful for adjustment without finding a cord. Dimmable lamps use either a rotary dimmer on the cord or work with a wall-mounted dimmer switch on the circuit. We also stock a smaller selection of bedside lamps with USB ports built into the base for overnight phone charging. The control type varies between pieces , touch sensitivity, dimming range and USB output are listed on each product page.

How many of your bedside lamps are alabaster or natural stone?
Of our 1,069 bedside lamps, 124 are made from real natural alabaster (11.6% of the range) and a further 64 from marble (6.0%). Alabaster pieces are the ones where light passes through the stone to pick up the natural veining; marble pieces typically use the stone as a base with the shade in fabric or glass above. To browse only the natural-stone cut, follow our dedicated alabaster table lamps range, which is essentially the alabaster subset of this bedside lamps catalogue sized for nightstand use.

Which bedside lamps are designed by your own Niori team?
Our Niori own-brand range contributes 231 pieces to this catalogue , the designer-positioned cut built around alabaster, marble, brushed brass and matt black metalwork. The remaining pieces come from our hand-picked third-party vendors: Mantra (269), Elstead Lighting (140), Ideal Lux (106), Diyas (100), Schuller (49) and smaller specialist ranges from Maytoni, Quoizel, Impex and Libra Interiors.
