We like the idea of a bedside shelf and the floor space it frees up in lieu of bedside tables. But then, the question of lighting comes up. On one hand, a pint-sized cordless LED lamp might suffice, but real gains are made when a bedside shelf contains a reading lamp. Here are our 10 favorite wall shelves with lamps for a multi-pronged problem solver.
Above: One of our favorite options with industrial appeal, the Frama 90-Degree Wall Light, available in brass or stainless steel, is $495 from Frama in the EU. It’s available stateside at Lightology as well.
Above: A longtime favorite designed by Frost Produkt with Martina Carpelan for Northern Lighting in 2010, the Sunday Lamp is designed with both a lightbulb and taper candle holder.
