The one on the right is a bit to delicate, and the one on the left is clear, which makes it insubstantial, IMO. I’d add something with some color, and maybe a bit taller as well. What’s your favorite color? You have mostly gray black and cream going on, so you can use cream or any bright color.

I’d also swap out the brown pillowcases for something with more color, or white.

Something Iike this might work. Do a search for double or triple gourd lamps, they’re available everywhere. I found this one on Perigold, but lots of places carry them.

Your off to a good start with the bed but lamps need to be bigger

I like the idea of staying with the monochromatic look. I would suggest a taller lamp with a solid (vs. glass) base in the background color of the wallpaper and a lamp shade in the color of the design in the wallpaper.

Yes to larger lamps, those are lovely but are out of balance for the bed.

The first looks like it is a better size, but both seem too small. Note how tall these lamps compared to the headboards in our designs included here.

Would these work? They are 7" taller than the ones in the original photo, but still slightly shorter than the top of the headboard. This one is 27" tall. Maybe still too delicate in the stem?

I'd ask myself what the bedside lighting is for. Is it only ambient, or does it include bedside reading? Do I do this by myself, or is the another person involved?

Then start looking.

Both choices are too short and too insubstantial. How tall and wide (at shade) are they?

The last (larger) lamp you showed is nice, and if it's only slightly lower than the headboard it should work. The thin base leaves more room for other items compared to more "chubby" bases.

I would look for something with a darker base to stand out against your wallpaper.

i like that last one

I like the stockier mercury glass shown above.

It's not quite tall enough. You need something about 4" taller.

The teardrop is nice. My only issue with it is that is so close to the mirrored nightstand in color. If it had a black base to separate it from the nightstand a bit, it could work. Out of everything so far, I like the teardrop and this one.

None of these seem to hit the mark. I think my something on the same scale as my lamps would work.

@Kerry - the bedspread - started with a grey checkered one and replaced with a white one with grey border. planning on replacing with another one - still white but a bit more grey throughout (vs just the border). I wasn't sure if you were thinking the white one was too white (when you commented to post with the new bed spread).

@saratooga - thanks for posting. those are lovely! wishing i got bigger nightstands!

crazy question - are table lamps a "must"? Can we go with standing floor lamps instead, on either side of the bed? Since we do have space on both sides.

My thought...

If you do read in bed, you may want lamps low enough that the shades block the bare bulb while you read.

The gray could work. They would stand out against your wallpaper.

Can you post a pic of your comforter? It sounds like it may be what is referred to as a "hotel style" and is very classic.

What absolutely it pendants? That way it leaves your tabletop clear.
