Of the Natural World
When in doubt, go natural. Earthy materials like raffia, wood, and wicker make these picks everything from Scandinavian minimal to coastal grandma—starting with this $25 Amazon option that looks more like a vintage score.
Ultra-Mod
From bulbs to cubes to squiggly blobs, these finds will bring both a sculptural element and ambient glow to your space. We’re eyeing Amazon’s simplistic tripod lamp, offering clean, contemporary lines for just $23.
For Getting Down to Business
These desk lamps make work a little more fun—especially H&M Home’s squiggly design with a built-in tray. But the real score has to be this $22 Amazon find, so affordable you might as well add it to your cart along with your toothpaste and paper towel haul.
A Pop of Color
Because blending in may not be your vibe, we found a few eye-catching lamps that stand out in the crowd. Adding one of these to a room is an easy and affordable way to pack a punch.
Take It Outside
Some lamps really can do it all: These picks can be taken from your nightstand to your picnic. Chargeable, portable, and cute as can be, we love anything that keeps an alfresco party going into the night.
