What size lamp should be on a nightstand?
The right size lamp for your nightstand should probably be between 24 and 27 inches tall. Finding the best table lamp for this particular purpose depends on variables such as the shape of your bedside table, the size of your nightstand's tabletop and personal preferences when it comes to styling your nightstand.
