Table Lamps for Australian Homes
What table lamp suits your room?
A table lamp placed at eye level is the most effective way to add warmth to a room. Compact 30 to 40 cm lamps suit bedside tables and narrow consoles. Medium 40 to 55 cm lamps work beside a sofa or in a reading nook. Large 55 cm+ lamps make a statement on a buffet or entryway console. Choose ceramic or rattan for coastal and natural interiors, metal for contemporary spaces, and glass to open up darker rooms. Shopica ships every table lamp from Sydney with tracked delivery and free 30-day returns.
Most rooms are lit from above and only from above. That kind of flat, uniform light is functional but it does not create zones, add warmth or make a room feel considered. A table lamp at the right height changes that. It is often the last piece that makes a room feel complete.
All lamps in stock. Ships from Sydney the next business day. Free returns within 30 days.

Browse Table Lamps by Style
Each style suits different rooms and interiors. Choose by finish first, then refine by size and material.
Modern
Modern Table Lamps
Architectural silhouettes and bold finishes in matte black, brushed nickel and polished chrome. Suits contemporary apartments. Place a mirror behind it to amplify both the design and the light.
White
White Table Lamps
Light-reflecting designs that open up dark rooms and compact spaces. A white ceramic or glass base with a fabric shade works equally well in a coastal Hamptons bedroom or a Scandi-inspired living room.
Black
Black Table Lamps
Sophisticated contrast that anchors a high-end interior. A matte black base with a linen drum shade adds definition to a bedroom, living room or home office. Works well on a timber side table beside a cream sofa.
Bedside
Bedside Table Lamps
Built for reading height and sleep-supportive lighting. The base of the shade should sit 60 to 70 cm above the surface of the bedside table. Choose warm white bulbs between 2700K and 3000K for healthy sleep.
Styling Tip
Browse all lamp styles →
Position a table lamp beside a sofa or armchair to define a zone within an open-plan layout. Add a floor lamp on the opposite side and you have the layered lighting effect that professional stylists build every room around.
Material Guide
Choosing the Right Material
The base material shapes the mood of the lamp as much as the shade or finish. Each has a natural home.
| Material | Best for | Interior style | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ceramic | Bedside, console | Coastal, Hamptons, natural | Earthy and handcrafted in feel. |
| Glass | Dark rooms, small spaces | Any | Reflects light. Adds visual openness. |
| Metal (gold, brass, black) | Living room, bedroom | Modern, luxe, contemporary | Strong visual presence. Ages well. |
| Rattan and natural fibre | Any room | Bohemian, relaxed, organic | Warm and textural. B22 bayonet fitting standard. |
Size Guide
Finding the Right Size
Sizing is where most online lamp purchases go wrong. A lamp that looks proportioned in a photograph can feel oversized on a compact bedside table or disappear on a large console. Shopica lists exact dimensions in centimetres on every product page so you can measure before you buy.
Compact — 30 to 40 cm
Bedside tables, narrow consoles and smaller rooms. Adds light without taking over the surface.
Medium — 40 to 55 cm
Living rooms, reading nooks and home offices. Sits at a natural eye level when seated beside a sofa.
Large — 55 cm and above
Buffets, desks and entryway consoles. Chosen as much for decorative presence as for illumination.
Room by Room
Which Table Lamp Suits Your Room?
| Room | Lamp Style | Placement Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Entryway | Large ceramic or metal on a console table | Pair with a vase or ornament for a styled vignette |
| Living Room | Medium modern or white beside the sofa or armchair | Add a floor lamp opposite for layered lighting |
| Bedroom | Matching pair on both sides of the bed | Shade base at 60 to 70 cm above the bedside table surface |
| Dining and Buffet | Large glass or gold-finished metal | Acts as both a light source and a decorative centrepiece |
| Home Office | Medium compact with a focused shade | Position to the side of the screen to reduce glare |
Before You Plug In
Setup and Care Tips
Bulbs and Fittings
- Most Shopica lamps use E27 or B22 bayonet fittings. Check the product listing to confirm.
- Use warm white bulbs at 2700 to 3000K in bedrooms and living areas for a relaxed tone.
- LED bulbs are recommended for lower heat output and longer life.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Dust fabric shades gently with a dry lint-free cloth or low-suction vacuum attachment.
- Wipe ceramic and glass bases with a lightly damp cloth. Dry immediately.
- For metal bases, use a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.
- Turn the lamp off and allow the bulb to cool before cleaning.

WHY SHOPICA?
Quality You Can Trust
Shopica is a Sydney-based, family-owned homeware, décor and furniture store founded by Eliane El Khoury. What started as a passion for beautiful, considered interiors has grown into a trusted destination for Australians who care about how their home looks and feels. We curate cushions, floor lamps, mirrors, bedside tables, dining tables, outdoor furniture and decorative pieces chosen specifically for Australian homes. Every piece is held to the same standard we would demand for our own. We do not stock products simply because they are popular. We stock them because they are well made, beautifully designed and worth every dollar.
Our Sydney-based team understands how Australian homes are lived in. The open plan living and dining spaces that define modern Australian architecture. The need for furniture that is beautiful on the weekend and durable through the week. The importance of getting the details right, from the cushion on the sofa to the lamp beside the bed. We source every product with all of this in mind.
With Australia-wide delivery dispatched daily from our Smithfield warehouse in Sydney and personal customer support from a team that genuinely cares about your home, Shopica is here to help you create a space that feels as good as it looks. One considered piece at a time.
