The right lighting has the power to completely transform a space—adding warmth, depth, and personality. Our thoughtfully curated collection of table lamps is designed to do just that.

From sleek, modern silhouettes to timeless, traditional forms, each lamp is crafted to deliver both visual impact and practical illumination.
Why Table Lamps Matter in Every Room
- Table lamps do more than simply provide light—they bring dimension, mood, and decorative flair to your home. Unlike harsh overhead lighting, table lamps offer a softer, more intimate glow that makes your space feel welcoming and lived-in. They’re perfect for layering lighting, balancing brightness, and creating cozy pockets of warmth in any room.
- In the living room, a pair of lamps on either end of a sofa can add symmetry and charm while offering a gentle glow for relaxing evenings. In the bedroom, they serve as essential nightstand companions, offering just the right amount of light for winding down with a book. In workspaces or reading corners, task lamps give you focused, directional lighting that reduces eye strain and boosts productivity.
- Available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials—from warm brass and textured ceramic to polished nickel and natural stone—table lamps are a simple yet striking way to refresh your décor.
How to Choose the Right Table Lamp for Your Space
With so many styles available, choosing the perfect table lamp can feel overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be. Here are a few key factors to help you narrow down your options:
1. Determining The Function
Start by considering what purpose the lamp will serve.
Ambient Lighting
If you're looking to add general warmth and mood to a space, a lamp with a fabric shade that diffuses light is ideal.
Task Lighting
For reading, writing, or crafting, opt for a lamp with a more focused beam—often with an adjustable arm or directional shade.
Accent Lighting
Want to highlight a side table or enhance your décor? A sculptural or artistic lamp can act as both a light source and a visual focal point.
2. Match the Scale to Your Space
Pay attention to the proportions of your furniture and the room itself..
Oversized Lamps
These are perfect for making a bold statement in grand entryways, open-concept living areas, or spacious bedrooms. Their larger scale balances out high ceilings or wide furniture pieces.
Medium Lamps
Versatile and easy to style, medium-sized lamps work well on end tables, nightstands, and sideboards.
3. Select the Right Style and Material
Your lamp should harmonize with your existing décor. Look to the materials and finishes of your furniture and accessories for inspiration.
Ceramic Lamps
Offer a timeless look, especially in coastal, transitional, or bohemian interiors. Glazed finishes add texture and richness.
Brass or Gold Lamps
Bring warmth and elegance to traditional or vintage-inspired rooms.
Glass Lamps
Whether clear, frosted, or colored, glass lamps feel light and airy—perfect for adding visual interest without heaviness.
Glass Lamps
Clean and modern, these finishes are ideal for contemporary or minimalist spaces.
4. Mind the Height
To avoid harsh lighting or awkward shadows, it’s important to get the lamp’s height right.
For a bedside lamp, the bottom of the shade should align with your eye level when you're sitting up in bed. As a general rule, the combined height of your nightstand and lamp should be around 48 inches. In living rooms, lamps should be roughly at shoulder height when you’re seated nearby.
