I’ve previously shared the best minimalist desks for the simple home office and the most stylish office chairs, but today it’s the turn of lighting. I’ve rounded up 12 of the best minimalist desk lamps to help bring an element of simple functionality to your home office, whether it’s at the dining table or the desk in the spare bedroom. The best part is that it comes with a dimmable floor switch. Choosing between the three settings is as simple as pressing the button. Architectural designer Madelynn Ringo is one of three folks who recommended a desk lamp from the lighting company Gantri, which works on its pieces with various designers. (Other fans of Gantri include Jenny Kaplan, a co-founder of design service An Aesthetic Pursuit, and environments designer Katie Li.) This one, the least expensive of the three recommendations, was created by industrial designer Mona Sharma. The head is not only adjustable (it moves up and down) but dimmable, and the lamp has a “great rounded shape that puts stylish focus on the task at hand,” says Ringo. The Buddy Light — and all of Gantri’s lamps — is 3-D-printed using proprietary plant polymers, which the brand claims are the “world’s first plant-derived polylactic-acid blends” created specifically for lighting products. It comes with an LED bulb. Cool (4600 – 6500K): This white-blue hue is everywhere in our society, including monitors, TVs, tablets and smartphones. While exposure to it can make you more productive and alert, too much can also lead to eye strain, fatigue and headaches, as well as confusing your body into thinking it’s still light outside. Again, you should avoid using lights of this temperature in the evenings, as it could hinder melatonin production and affect your ability to get to sleep. Here is another sleek and simple bedside lamp for your minimalist room. It has a round metal base and a clean cylinder shade that emits a bright light. Thanks to the small base, you can place this lamp even in the tightest spots where a regular lamp won’t fit.

This minimalist table lamp brings a bright yellow light to the room when switched on. Although, if you prefer a dimmer glow, it’s dimmable with just a tap on its base. The table lamp has a few brightness settings that you can choose from, which makes it functionally versatile in its design. The Seaside Minimalist Table Lamp can be placed as a modern reading lamp by your bedside or to create an intimate ambience and set the mood for you and your partner. This lamp not only looks great, but it’s convenient and practical too. You can operate it with one touch on the base, as it has touch sensitivity. There’s nothing handier when you’re sleepy at night and don’t have to fumble for the switch! If the lamp is only for mood lighting, you will need around 300-400 lumens. But for more concentrated tasks, you may need about 800 lumens. Adjustability: Articulated arm, 360-degree rotating head | Base: Standard, clamp, in-set pivot | Style: Task, 3 colorsIf you think a lamp isn’t really a lamp unless it looks like it could jump on the Pixar logo, then this is the one for you. The spring-balanced swing arm has three points of articulation – one at the base, one in the middle and one at the head – so there’s a great range of movement, and the lamp is weighty enough that it’s not going to tip over when the arm is extended. The Casilvon Metal Table Lamp has a clean and elegant look, thanks to its white lamp shade and golden stand. This lamp suitably complements white and light neutral colours (such as ivory and beige) to create a light and sunny setting. The lamp’s simple colour palette and clean design suitably styles any room and adds a light, contemporary touch. As well as the touch controls on the top surface, the base also features a USB port, giving you easily accessible charging for your phone, speaker or headphones. The first arm rotates 160 degrees on the base, and the second arm has a 225-degree range of movement, so whatever angle you need the light at, this lamp has got you covered.

Another welcome feature is the touch control base. It’s convenient, as you can turn it on or off anywhere without finding the power switch. That makes it one of the best dimmable bedside lamps around! You can even connect your Brightech Sky lamp to your smart home device. Then, you can activate it with a voice command from wherever you are. The Leniver LED Table Lamp also has an out-of-the-ordinary design that creates an eye-opening entrance to any living space. The lamp has a circular design that is sleek and clean. When the lights are switched on, it creates neat circles of yellow-white light against the frame of the lamp. The matte finish of the table lamp softens the clean design, making this lamp pleasing to the eye while being extraordinarily beautiful. Every detail has been carefully thought through, like the long cable, so you can plug it in anywhere.

It’s constructed from robust aluminum, while a matte acrylic sea helps to protect your eyes. The LED lightbulb provides consistent light and won’t heat up over making. That makes it a safe choice for the bedroom or a child’s room. It’s also compact, measuring 7.3 inches in diameter. This lamp will look perfect in any room, from your office to the bedroom, living room, or kitchen. This metal lamp with an exposed bulb is an excellent example of a minimalist floor lamp. It’s simple yet effective and won’t take up too much space. You can easily turn it on and off with the floor switch, so you don’t need to bend over or fumble to find it. There are benefits to all kinds of lamplight, so a lot of this is going to come down to personal preference, but there are specific areas in which each type excels. First, some terminology. Colour temperature is measured on the Kelvin scale (K), with the spectrum roughly divided into three categories: warm, neutral and cool. There’s a little more on either end of the scale, but for this guide, we’re mainly interested in light that falls between 2700 and 6500K.

This contemporary design screams modernity and minimalism. The circular design is simple yet fun and unique, and the white color will go with any color scheme.It’s as minimalist as can be, with a sleek silhouette and a simple design. It’s also bright enough to light up your room and make it feel more spacious and welcoming. The best part is that it’s very user-friendly, thanks to the touch controller. This feature comes in handy when you’re sleepy late at night or in the early morning. One-touch is all you need to turn it on or off.
