Why Use Crystal Lamps Beside The Bed?
The barely-there look of crystal suits almost any interior, and adds just a touch of sparkle. Crystal's lack of color allows the room's other elements to stand out. Lamp accents like chrome, brass or gold can be chosen to coordinate with furnishings and hardware.

What Size Bedroom Lamps Should You Buy?
Lamps that are too tall or too short are a common decorating mistake. They can make the whole room seem out-of-proportion, and it can be hard to determine the problem. While there are many rules about table height and lamp height, every bedroom is slightly different. Your bed, bedside tables, and lamps should be in scale with each other. Remember, the height of a lamp is the measurement from the tabletop to its highest point ' including the finial on top.
Nathan Crystal Lamp
Make room for traditional elegance, as a column of crystal stacks up and sparkles from every angle. The round base of our lamp continues the aesthetic while a slightly tapered linen shade enhances the light's reflection. Topped with a crystal finial and finished with a silk-wrapped 60" cord, this lamp will add traditional glamour to any home.
However, what looks well-proportioned in the room may still not be a perfect size. If you can see the bulb from above, the lamp is too short. If you can see the bulb while sitting in bed, the lamp is too tall.
How To Measure For Bedroom Table Lamps
To protect your eyes from glare, your eye level should be near the center of the lampshade. Measuring makes sure you won't see the bare lightbulb. To measure for bedside lamps, just follow our guide:
- Sit on your bed, and measure from the floor up to eye-level.
- Subtract the height of your bedside table.
- Add about 6' ' this is the ideal lamp height.
- To hide the bulb, the lampshade should be eye-level when you're standing too.
- Stand and measure from the floor up to eye level.
- Subtract the height of your bedside table.
- Add 6' ' this number may be a bit higher than the first one.
- Use the two measurements as a size range for your lamps: 27'-30' tall, for example.
- If your ceilings or headboard are tall, choose the taller lamp.
A king-sized bed requires large nightstands, and lamps that are both tall and substantial-looking. With a queen-sized bed and an extra-tall headboard, look for tall lamps ' but take those measurements! Make sure your bedroom lamps are the right height for reading.
Traditional Or Transitional Crystal Lamp Designs
Traditional crystal lamps have classic silhouettes ' like a candlestick, baluster or gourd shape. When done in crystal, traditional shapes like these also work beautifully in transitional interiors. This lamp has a baluster shape, with a faceted crystal:
Paris Crystal Lamp
A sphere of faceted crystal is combined with chrome finish accents for an eye-catching effect. The center is set atop a footed stand and topped with a slightly tapered linen drum shade. A crystal sphere finial completes the look.
Here, a traditional double-gourd lamp is re-interpreted in clear crystal; the flat silhouette is an instant classic:
Ben Crystal Gourd Silhouette Lamp
The classic midcentury double-gourd gets a modern update in this geometric crystal table lamp. Like a shadow cast from its ceramic cousins, the totally transparent base evokes midcentury style with a modern twist. With crystal nearly 1" thick, it's even more gorgeous illuminated, when light refracts through the crystal base and emanates from behind the cotton drum shade. Not only is this design cutting-edge, but its components are environmentally conscious -- you can use CFL or LED bulbs with its socket, lessening your impact on the earth (and your electricity bill).

Kylan Gold and Crystal Lotus Lamp
The lotus flower is one of the most ancient symbols still with us today -- growing in muddy water and rising above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty, lotus symbolizes the purity of heart and mind. Taking that inspiration and creating this lovely table lamp, we've included the finishing touches of chrome-plated hardware, a silk-wrapped cord, and a large linen drum shade to complete the lux look.

A stellar gold starburst is the focal point of this Hollywood regency lamp in gold and crystal. Tall and thin, it's great for surfaces without much space such as nightstands and buffets.
