8 Multi-Purpose Lights You Need in Your Home
What makes a well-designed modern light even better? A multi-purpose construction that serves you in more than one way! Lighting is a vital part of every design, but can quickly become an afterthought and even a source of clutter. In every space, large and small, you want to make the most of your light sources. Whether that’s just ensuring your lights fulfill their purpose as task or ambient lighting, or bringing a light into your space that serves a second purpose. These multi-purpose lights you need in your home creatively combine a light with tables, trays, and more to enhance your space in more way than one.
When Should I Use Multi-Purpose Furniture?
There are plenty of reasons to love and use multi-purpose furniture and lighting. The primary reason is because it can save you space. Which means smaller spaces, loft apartments, and tiny home offices all benefit from a multi-purpose light. You should also utilize multi-purpose pieces when:
- You need the room to quickly adapt
- You love a clever combination of uses
- Fitting more than one item on a desk or tabletop, or between chairs, etc. isn’t practical
- You need your light to effortlessly integrate with another piece like a mirror or table
At the end of the day, multi-purpose furniture can save you space, answer a need within the composition of the room, and help you easily flip a room from one purpose to another with little effort.
8 Multi-Purpose Lights You Need in Your Home
Build ambiance with your lighting but don’t sacrifice functionality. We believe you need these multi-purpose lights in your home because they offer something a little more to make your life easy, breezy, and stylish.
Neon Side Table
Starting strong we have the Neon Side Table from 101 Copenhagen. Featuring legs of tube lights and a bronze tabletop, the Neon Side Table effortlessly integrates moody lighting while providing a side table. This is such a genius combination, and we love the 101 Copenhagen execution of the concept because it’s modern, slightly Brutalist in its inspirations, and yet so beautifully simple. You’ll love this light because you can slip it between lounge chairs or set it off to the side with a vase of flowers on top.
Carousel Table Lamp
A very subtle LED light is tucked into the cylindrical base of the Carousel Table Lamp to offer a warm and almost haunting glow. What’s more, the Carousel tabletop is crafted from acrylic, shaped like a tray so nothing goes sliding off, and it holds two wireless charging zones plus a USB-C charging port to accommodate a wide range of mobile devices. You’ll love this table/light combo beside your bed or next to a lounge chair in a reading nook or office.
Pixo Plus Lamp
We’ve seen wireless phone charging pucks integrated into table lights before, but the style with which Pablo Designs achieves this concept in the Pixo Plus Lamp is unmatched. Formed aluminum arm polycarbonate come together for a sleek, modern task light perfect for desks, nightstands, or beside a lounge chair. Enjoy the minimalist profile of this light and the phone charging platform of the base along with the vibrant color options.
Nivél Pedestal
Soft ambient light is cast downward from the adjustable tabletop of the Nivél Pedestal light. This unobtrusive light looks fantastic in an office space or beside the sofa. What’s more, the Nivél Pedestal is rechargeable so it can move around the room and fit into spaces that don’t have easy access to an outlet. You’ll love this multi-purpose light for its Scandinavian inspirations and adjustability.
90° Wall Light
A light and shelf combination is one of our favorite modern light profiles. This combo just makes sense, especially in a compact space like a bathroom. The 90° Wall Light features a single bulb set into a brass shelf offering not only light, but a great place to keep your toiletries or décor. You’ll love this light for its minimalism and slightly Industrial expressions.
Dew Table/Wall Lamp
To get the most versatility out of the Dew Table/Wall Lamp we recommend using it as a table light. This rechargeable table lamp features an opal glass globe of light set into a wood base that works beautifully as a jewelry tray. Set this light on your nightstand to read by and keep your watch and rings safely nearby, or set it on the credenza in the entry to welcome you home and keep your keys close at hand.
AJ52 Society Table Lamp Module
Arne Jacobsen’s iconic Society Table is elevated with its accompanying AJ52 Society Table Lamp. This stainless-steel light has a simple arm and conic shade that makes for the perfect task light. And then, to make it a space-saving, useful piece for a desk, it comes with shelf for pens, scrap paper, and other office needs. We love a light that offers storage, too and know you’ll find the AJ52 table lamp module incredibly useful in your modern office.
Beddy A/02 Wall Light
Another ideal light for reading nooks and bedsides, the Beddy A/02 Wall Light offers a small shelf and rotating light to optimize its versatility as a task lamp. Crafted from aluminum and beautifully balancing geometric shapes, this light is designed to direct light efficiently while maintaining a subtle, elegant aesthetic.
