Wood and Metal Wall Lamp | Modern Nordic Bedside Light For Bedrooms, Hallways and Night Reading

A bedside wall lamp solves the problem a table lamp creates: the base takes up the surface you wanted for a book, a glass, and a phone. Moving the light onto the wall gives that surface back, and on a narrow bedside table that is often the difference between the table being usable and being decorative.

Wood against metal is the pairing that keeps it from reading as hardware. Metal gives the arm and fixings the strength to hold a position, and timber softens the parts you see from the bed, which matters more on a fitting you look at while lying down than on one across the room. Mount it above shoulder height beside a bed, since a light mounted at pillow level puts the source straight into your eyeline the moment you sit up in bed to read, which is exactly when you want it.

Mount it low enough that the light falls on a book rather than into your eyes, which is usually lower than instinct suggests. Mount in pairs either side of a double bed. It also suits reading chairs, hallways, and landings. Electrical installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician in line with local wiring regulations. Buy it now.
