In this lovely all white attic bedroom tiny twin pendants hang on either side of a romantic iron canopy bed. Perhaps, a bit more decorative than functional, they're still lovely bedside lights.

White-shaded wall fixtures provide light at the bedside in this lovely space with an appealing soft color palette. For reading, special attention should be paid to placement of wall lamps.

These tall clear glass lamps are perfect for reading in bed. Black trim on the pure white shades ties them in with the bedding and framed prints. A capiz shell chandelier provides soft general lighting for the room.

Bedside lighting can be fun as well as functional, as seen in this eclectic bedroom with a beautiful global vibe. A quirky little desk lamp brings task lighting to the bedside for working or reading in bed. I love the contrast between the light-hearted lamp design and the more formal look of silk draperies and velvet headboard.

Delicate little wall lamps are perfect in this French garden style bedroom. The thin curvy shapes of the lights play nicely off the heavier look of the ornate oval picture frame between them.
