{"title":"Grey bedside lamps","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrey is a calming shade that never goes out of style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA grey bedside lamp is a reliable choice for anyone seeking both simplicity and practicality in the bedroom. Its neutral tone suits every decor style, from contemporary to Scandinavian, and helps create a relaxing atmosphere without overwhelming the space. Choose from compact designs (25–35 cm high, shade diameter 12–18 cm) — perfect for small bedside tables — or larger lamps (up to 45 cm high) for king-size beds. Grey bedside lamps are available in matt ceramic, brushed metal, concrete or fabric, each material affecting the light's diffusion and ease of care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich material is best for a grey bedside lamp?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCeramic\u003c\/strong\u003e: A grey ceramic bedside lamp offers a smooth, easy-to-clean surface and a stable base. It works well in classic or minimalist interiors. Look for a satin glaze to avoid fingerprints.

Brushed or chrome finishes reflect the light and make your bedside area brighter. Choose the right bulb: a 4–6 W LED (400–600 lumens) is enough for reading without glare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e: A grey fabric lampshade softens the light and prevents harsh shadows. Opt for dust-resistant fabric, especially if the lamp is placed close to the bed.

The ideal height for a grey bedside lamp is 30–45 cm, with the bulb at eye level when you are sitting in bed.
