How tall should a bedside lamp be?

The bottom of the shade should sit roughly at eye level when seated upright in bed, usually 50-60 cm above the mattress top. Combined with bedside table height, your lamp should be 45-65 cm tall for a 60 cm bedside table. Visual Comfort bedside lamps typically range 50-75 cm overall.

Plug-in or hardwired bedside lamp, which is easier in an Italian rental?

Plug-in is the easier choice for Italian rentals. All Visual Comfort bedside lamps ship with EU Type F plug, just plug into the nearest socket. No electrician, no modifications to the apartment. Hardwired only makes sense in owned apartments with rewiring planned, where the cord can disappear inside the wall.

Can two bedside lamps from different collections still work as a pair?

Yes, if they share key visual elements. Same metal finish (both brass, both bronze), similar shade colour and material (linen, white silk), and matched height (within 5 cm). Different bases and slight shape variations are fine. This is called bookend pairing rather than identical pairing and looks intentional rather than mismatched.
