What rooms in the home can I use wooden table lamps?

Depending on the size and style of the lamp, wooden table lamps can be used in pretty much any room of the home. A few examples of where you might use wooden table lamps:

• In the living room, a wooden table lamp can add warmth and natural charm to your living room. You could place one on a side table next to your sofa or armchair, or use a pair of matching lamps on either end of your coffee table.
• Bedroom: Wooden table lamps are really popular for bedside tables. They can provide a soft, warm glow that is perfect for relaxing, and being able to see well if you’re reading before bed.
• Home office: If you work from home, try a wooden table lamp on your desk, instead of a desk lamp, or place one next to an easy chair.
• Entryways and landings: A wooden table lamp can be a great way to add atmosphere, and low-level lighting through the night. Place one on a console table on your landing, or entryway to provide a soft and inviting glow.

Wooden table lamps are a versatile lighting option that can be used in a variety of different rooms and settings.

Why use wooden table lamps & wooden bedside lamps?

Wooden table lamps and wooden bedside table lamps are a popular choice in homes that need a touch of natural warmth in their home décor. Here are some reasons why you might want to consider using wooden table lamps:

• Natural and organic feel: Wooden table lamps and bedside table lamps can bring an organic warmth to your living space. Wood is a timeless and versatile material that can blend seamlessly with different interior design styles, from rustic and vintage, to modern and minimalistic.
• Aesthetic appeal: Wooden table lamps and bedside table lamps can also add a visual interest and aesthetic appeal to your home décor.
• Versatile lighting: Table lamps and bedside table lamps are versatile lighting options that can be adjusted to suit your needs. Depending on the style and design, these lights can provide ambient, task, or accent lighting to enhance the functionality and atmosphere of your room.
• Space-saving: Bedside table lamps are a great space-saving lighting solution, as they can be placed on a small table next to your bed without taking up much space.
• Easy to install: The great thing about table lamps? They simply plug into a nearby electric socket, and switch on. No installation, or electrician required.
• Sustainable and eco-friendly: Using wooden table lamps and bedside table lamps can be a sustainable and eco-friendly choice. Wood is a renewable resource that can be harvested and replenished, and by choosing wooden lighting fixtures, you can reduce your environmental footprint and support responsible forestry practices.

What other materials are used to make wooden table lamps? 

While the base of wooden table lamps is made of wood, other materials are often used to complement and enhance the design. Some of the most popular styles in our range include: 

• Metal: Metal is a popular choice for the hardware and accents on wooden lamps. Brass, copper, and wrought iron are common options, but sometimes silver tones with brushed matte effects can look great with wood too.
• Glass: Glass can be used for the lampshade, or as a décorative element on the base of the lamp. Stained glass or frosted glass can create a beautiful effect when paired with wood.
• Fabric: Fabric lampshades can soften the look of a wooden lamp and provide a cosy glow. Linen, cotton, and silk are common fabrics used for lampshades.
• Stone: Natural stone, such as marble or slate, can be used to create a sturdy and beautiful base for a wooden lamp.
• Resin: Resin is a synthetic material that can be made to look like wood or stone. It can be used as an alternative to traditional materials, or combined with wood to create unique designs. 

What colours are wooden table lamps?
 

The colour of wooden table lamps can vary depending on the type of wood used, as well as any stains or finishes applied to the surface. Here are some common colours you might find in wooden table lamps:

• Natural wood tones: The base of a wooden table lamp can range from light to dark brown, depending on the type of wood used. Some woods, like oak or maple, have a lighter colour, while others, like cherry or mahogany, have a darker tone.
• Stained wood: Wooden lamps can be stained in a range of colours, from light beige to dark ebony. Staining the wood can enhance the natural grain and texture of the wood, or give it a different hue altogether, without having to use rarer, and more expensive exotic woods.
• Painted wood: Some wooden lamps are painted in bright or pastel colours to add a pop of colour to a room. White or cream-coloured wooden lamps are a popular choice for coastal or shabby-chic décor styles.
• Lampshade colours: The lampshade of a wooden table lamp can also come in a variety of colours. White or cream-coloured shades are a classic choice, but you can also find shades in bolder colours like red, blue, or green. The colour of the shade can affect the quality of light that the lamp emits, so it's important to choose a shade that will complement the room. Of course, you can choose your lamp shade to coordinate with other soft furnishings in the room.

Whether you prefer natural wood tones, or a pop of colour, there is a wooden lamp out there to fit your personal style and home décor – especially when you consider that you have both the base and the shade that can be changed. 

What bulbs are best for wooden table lamps?

LED bulbs are generally the best option for wooden table lamps, as they are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and produce less heat compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. Additionally, LED bulbs are available in a wide range of colour temperatures, making them suitable for different activities and times of day.

Wooden table lamps with integrated LED bulbs can also be a good choice, as they eliminate the need for separate bulbs and provide a consistent and reliable source of light. Some integrated LED bulbs also come with smart features, such as dimming or colour-changing capabilities, which can be controlled using a smartphone app or a voice assistant.

Smart LED light bulbs are often compatible with Amazon Alexa or Google Home, and can also be used with wooden table lamps to provide greater functionality and control. With smart bulbs, you can adjust the brightness and colour temperature of the light using your voice or a smartphone app, and even set schedules or routines to automate your lighting.

Ultimately, the best bulb for your wooden table lamp will depend on your specific needs and preferences. However, LED bulbs, integrated LEDs, and smart light bulbs are all excellent options to consider – and you’re certain to find what you’re looking for in our extensive range of light bulbs.

Wooden table lamps are versatile and can work well with a range of interior design styles. Here are a few examples of different interior design styles that can be complemented by wooden table lamps:

    Scandinavian: The minimalistic and clean design of Scandinavian-style interior décor uses a lot of wood. The simple and understated look of wooden table lamps can add a touch of warmth and natural beauty to a Scandinavian-style living space.

    Coastal: By its very nature, coastal décor incorporates a lot of wood, so wooden table lamps can also fit in with a coastal-style interior décor. Wooden table lamps with white or light-coloured finishes can also enhance the coastal look.

    Mid-Century Modern: Wooden table lamps can be a great addition to a mid-century modern-style interior décor.
