Bedside Lamps or Swing Arm?

I love getting comments from all of your about how we live in our home and ideas on switching things up etc. I recently received a comment, suggesting I consider switching out my bedside table lamps in favor of swing-arm lamps to give us more room on our nightstands + work well with the visual height of our headboard. I loved the suggestion and loved the look of swing arm lamps, but can't part with my beloved Ralph Lauren lamps. I bought for only $8.00, plus I'm a sucker for over-sized lamps. Click here for a  quick reminder of how my nightstands and lamps look in my bedroom. Right now, their too near and dear to my heart to part with, but you never know what the future holds! 

The question got me thinking of bedrooms with lamps and bedrooms with swing arm lamps, lets take a look at some pretty inspiring bedrooms shall we of bedrooms with both styles. First up bedside lamps on nightstands in all shapes / sizes / styles.
