9 Lamps That Will Take Your Space to the Next Level

A tripod floor lamp always commands attention, and the thick wood legs of the Dallson Floor Lamp ($510) stand out more than most. The wood is rough sawn, leaving saw marks throughout the material to bring out the beauty of the antiqued finish. A substantial drum shade filters light beautifully, bringing a warm glow to the living room or bedroom. It all adds up to a statement piece you'll appreciate for years.

This low-profile Bradard Table Lamp ($100) has a clean, timeless silhouette — along with a cool twist on the surface of its resin base. The ivory background is accented by a brushed texture that reads as rustic or artistic, depending on how you style the lamp's surroundings. It's a great option if you're seeking something beyond a basic lamp but don't want to get too trendy with your choice.

The most impressive thing about this Taliya Arc Lamp ($230, originally $300) is its chameleon-like ability to complement a surprisingly vast array of interior styles. If you're into Danish modern, the arcing silhouette of the five light poles will fit right in with your teak furniture. Feeling a glam '70s vibe? The champagne metal finish is spot-on. And if you like a clean, contemporary look, you can't go wrong with the ivory glass shades and marble base. Best of all, it's equipped with a dimmer, so you can set whatever mood you like.

You don't run across a silhouette like this Tala Alumina Lamp ($190) every day. Vaguely reminiscent of an old-fashioned camera and flash, this table lamp can also be mounted on the wall to cast its warm, dimmable light.

A steep angle makes this Amara Floor Lamp ($795) a dramatic option for the living room or bedroom. Crafted from solid oak and antiqued brass, it sports a simple fabric shade for a sleek, sophisticated moment.

Into the mushroom-lamp trend but craving a lamp that isn't already everywhere on Instagram? This Stemlite Table Lamp ($745) was dreamed up by Bill Curry, the designer who happened to create the original mushroom lamp decades ago. A huge hit in its heyday, its iconic space-age silhouette looks just as good now as it did back in 1962.

Sometimes you need focused light, but other times, you want ambient light. You don't have to choose with this Alphabeta Lamp ($849). The Italian-made floor lamp is modular, with eight shade shape options in a variety of colors — so you can create exactly the look you want.

Maybe you're daydreaming about the expensive Noguchi floor lamp but your bank-account balance exists in a different reality. Good news: this Dune Floor Lamp ($139) has a similar lantern silhouette, but it's literally one-tenth of the price.

Though this brass-finish Kai LED Table Lamp ($59) has a small footprint, it gives off an impressive amount of light — and with a touch-button dimmer and integrated USB port, it's a great option for the bedside table.
