Bedside Table Lamps - Function and Form

Not only are bedside table lamps a great way to see at night, read at your bedside, or wake up to in the morning, they are also great for adding to the décor of a bedroom.  When you go to choose a bedside table lamp, there are few things to consider first. For example, what will you use it for? Is it there for you to see when you get up in the mornings? Do you like to read by your bed at night before you go to sleep? Do you wake up early and journal to start your day before your partner gets up? What is the style of the room?  What you plan to use the bedside lamp for will help determine which one you choose and why. When it comes to décor, there are many things for which to look.

In terms of function,  you might want to consider how much light you need and what type of illumination you want. Maybe you want a lamp with adjustable light brightness so you can choose how much light you want at any given time. Maybe you want a reading light with an adjustable head so you can adjust it to where you’re sitting.  The lamp should be positioned so that it is not necessary to get out of bed to turn it off or on.

In terms of decor, when it comes to bedside lamps, matching lamps on both sides of the bed were once the norm. However, many people today are employing a more modern trend of using two different lamps on either side. This is especially popular in double beds where one partner may have one theme on their side of the bed and the other may have something slightly different on their side.  Although not always true, bedside table lamps are generally smaller than the table lamps used for a living room – bedrooms are generally smaller in size and a large table lamp could be overpowering to the space.

There are bedside table lamps made to go with any décor or theme such as Western style, modern, urban, country, contemporary, Oriental and more. With so many great options in lighting for the home today, it’s possible to find something to fit each and every need you may have.  If you’re concerned with the environment and saving electricity, there is also a wide array of eco-friendly table lamps that you can select from for your bedside. With so many different options, there’s no reason you can’t find the perfect lighting for your home today.

My new kitty pooped under my bedside table, shunned the litter box?

The litter box is in the kitchen, but then in the morning he went and peed in the box, but about 20 minutes later the smell lead me underneath my bedside table, it was a huge poop! Why the heck did he do that? i thought cats were "naturally litter trained"?
Can I re-train him? What do I do?
It was his first night with us, he even slept in our bed.

right after feeding the cat, put him in the litter box. he should learn soon enough. Be glad he didn't pee on the carpet. What he did is much easier to clean up.
