Why stop at one bedside table lamp if the surface area is big enough for two? We're loving the contrast between the chrome lamp and the traditional ceramic one. They each speak to the varying design influences throughout the room.

A lamp on your nightstand is a decor choice, but it isn't always totally functional. To make sure you get enough light when you're reading (or on your phone) in bed at night, mount a light on the wall immediately next to your bed, too.

Hang It Somewhere Unexpected

Though this contemporary pendant light inn this space designed by Tamsin Johnson would look great wherever it was, we're digging the asymmetry of it hung in the reading nook rather than in the center of the room. The shade also corresponds with the bedskirt, for a nice cohesion.

Add Dramatic

Though not too over the top in shape or material, this pendant light brings a fun sense of drama with it's over-sized appeal. In a minimalist bedroom, where space is limited and everything must carry its weight, proportion and scale is a great way to play and have fun with design. The texture also warms up the cooler tones through. Use your lighting to incorporate natural texture, like bamboo or rattan. A straw pendant is the muted (but totally not basic) light fixture this bold, bohemian room needs.
