Bedside Wall Lamps

About this collectionBedside Wall Lamps — Handcrafted Rattan & Bamboo Wall Lights for Bedroom

The right bedside wall lamp transforms your bedroom from a room where you sleep into a space where you unwind, read, and recharge. Unlike table lamps that crowd your nightstand or floor lamps that eat up floor space, wall mounted bedroom lights keep surfaces clear while delivering the perfect reading glow right where you need it.

At Akway, our bedroom wall lamps are handwoven from natural rattan, bamboo, and cane by Indian artisans. The warm, filtered light through woven natural fibres creates a calming ambiance that harsh metal or glass fixtures simply cannot match — exactly what your bedroom needs at the end of a long day.

Why Choose Wall Mounted Lamps for Your Bedroom?

• Free up nightstand space: Reclaim your bedside table for books, your phone, a glass of water, or a photo frame. Wall-mounted lights eliminate the need for a table lamp entirely.
• Perfect reading light: Mounted at the right height beside your bed, a wall lamp directs light exactly where you need it for reading without disturbing your partner.
• Create a sleep-friendly atmosphere: The warm, diffused glow through rattan and bamboo weave mimics candlelight, helping your body wind down naturally before sleep.
• Works in small bedrooms: Indian bedrooms — especially in apartments — are often compact. Wall lamps add style and function without occupying a single square inch of floor or surface space.
• Symmetrical design: A matching pair of wall lamps flanking your bed headboard instantly makes any bedroom look professionally styled.

Types of Bedside Wall Lamps

Rattan swing-arm wall lamps are the most versatile bedroom choice. The adjustable arm lets you pull the light closer for reading and push it back for ambient mode. Pair with a warm LED bulb for the perfect bedside reading light.

Bamboo cylinder sconces cast a soft, vertical strip of light up and down. These work beautifully on either side of a headboard, creating a boutique-hotel look in your own bedroom.

Cane half-dome wall lights direct most light downward, making them ideal for reading. The dome shape also prevents glare from reaching your partner's side of the bed — a thoughtful design for couples.

Woven globe wall lamps create a more decorative, ambient effect. Less focused than reading lights, these are perfect if you want your bedroom wall lighting to be atmospheric rather than functional.

How to Position Bedside Wall Lamps

Getting the height and placement right makes all the difference:

• Height from floor: Mount 120–140 cm from the floor, which typically puts the lamp about 30–40 cm above your mattress. This is the sweet spot for comfortable reading in bed.
• Distance from bed centre: Position the lamp 25–35 cm to either side of where your head rests. Too far and you will strain to read; too close and it feels intrusive.
• Symmetry matters: Always install bedside wall lamps in pairs, one on each side of the bed. Even if only one person reads in bed, the visual balance completes the room.
• Switch placement: If possible, wire the switch within arm's reach of your sleeping position so you can turn the light off without getting up.

Bedroom Wall Lamp Styling Ideas

Flanking the headboard: The classic placement. A pair of matching rattan wall sconces on either side of your headboard creates a symmetrical, hotel-style look. Works with upholstered, wooden, and even our rattan cane headboards.

Reading nook corner: If your bedroom has a reading chair or window seat, mount a single wall lamp above it. A bamboo cylinder sconce at 160 cm height creates the perfect focused reading spot.

Children's bedroom: Wall-mounted lamps are safer than table lamps for kids' rooms — no risk of knocking over. A playful woven rattan design adds warmth to a child's space.

Guest bedroom: Bedside wall lamps in a guest room show thoughtfulness. Your guests can read comfortably, charge their phone on a free nightstand, and feel genuinely welcomed.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Our bedroom wall lamps use the same sustainably sourced materials as our entire lighting range:

• Rattan: The warm honey tone of rattan weave filters light beautifully, creating a soft pattern on bedroom walls that feels calming and natural.
• Bamboo: Stronger and more structured, bamboo wall lamps offer cleaner lines for modern and minimalist bedroom aesthetics.
• Cane: The fine weave of cane produces the most diffused, even glow — ideal for bedrooms where you want gentle, sleep-friendly lighting.

Every lamp is handcrafted, which means slight variations in weave pattern and tone. This is not a defect — it is proof of authentic handmade craftsmanship.

Care Tips for Bedroom Wall Lamps

• Dust gently with a soft cloth once a week to prevent buildup in the weave.
• Avoid placing near open windows where rain can reach — natural materials should stay dry.
• Use warm white LED bulbs (2700K, 5–9W) for the best bedroom ambiance and to protect natural fibres from heat.
• If you notice any loosening in the weave after years of use, a tiny dab of wood glue fixes it instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best wall lamp for a bedroom?
A rattan or bamboo wall sconce with a warm LED bulb (2700K) is ideal. The woven material filters light into a soft, sleep-friendly glow. For reading in bed, choose a design that directs light downward rather than a fully diffused globe.

Can bedside wall lamps replace table lamps?
Yes, completely. Wall mounted bedroom lights provide the same function as table lamps while freeing up nightstand space. Many interior designers now prefer wall lamps over table lamps for a cleaner, more modern bedroom look.

How high should I mount bedside wall lamps?
Mount them 120–140 cm from the floor, approximately 30–40 cm above the mattress top. This height provides comfortable reading light without glare when lying down.

Will wall lamps damage my bedroom walls?
Our wall lamps require just two small screws for mounting. The holes are tiny and easily filled if you ever decide to move the lamp. They cause far less wall damage than heavy shelves or frames.

Can I use these wall lamps without hardwiring?
Most of our wall lamps come with a standard plug-in cord option, so you can simply plug into your nearest power outlet without any hardwiring or electrician visit. Check individual product descriptions for details.

Are rattan wall lamps safe near the bed?
Absolutely safe. LED bulbs produce negligible heat, and rattan is naturally resilient at room temperatures. Just ensure the lamp is securely mounted and the wiring is properly connected.
