Our 5 Favorite Lamps to Elevate and Illuminate Your Home

Do you have a room that feels blah? Do you find yourself relocating from seat to seat until you find "good" light? Are there any dark corners in your home that look stale and lonely? Well, I'm about to show you 5 gorgeous lamps that could fix all those issues.

It is the well-placed task and accent lighting that does the heavy lifting in regard to function and design within a room. A portable lamp, in addition to overall lighting, is ideal for our eyes. 

Likewise, a well-placed lamp can literally sculpt your space through the resulting shadow-to-light effect it creates in an otherwise dark or "flat" area.  

Without further ado, here are some of my current picks for gorgeous lamps....

Chiara Table Lamp

Who says height is everything? This lamp can certainly hold its own through strong, geometric lines in the clear crystal base. The splash of gold catches the eye as it peeks out of the lines of the strong rectangular linen shade. 

This little darling would be perfect for use on a desk as task lighting or on a console or chest in a foyer for a bit of dramatic lighting. Find yours here.

Joan Alabaster Table Lamp

This stately lamp is a piece of art in its own right. Carved from a solid piece of Alabaster, this lamp would be equally at home in a modern setting as it would in a traditional one. 

I love the soft texture, and if you're looking to embrace a quiet elegance in your space, this lamp is for you. Grab yours here.

Boa Table Lamp

This handmade, mouth-blown glass lamp can bring a dark and moody vibe just as easily as it can a dramatic and theatrical one. Its 3-way switch allows for light control, and its 32" height makes it excellent for end tables and larger furnishings like sideboards or buffets. 

The soft golden accents accentuate a rich taupe glass. No two lamps are alike, and we like it that way! Make it yours here.

Accordion Floor Lamp (Ebony)

I adore this floor lamp. I seriously love it so much. The orderly grooves, the pronounced grain, the ebony finish... it's like a sculpture with a purpose. 

I could see this in a very modern and minimalist space. I could also see this in a Modern Farmhouse space. Eclectic? Of course. Trendy? Never. Get yours here.

Capsule Sconce

Talk about sculpting a space. This sconce has so much to offer. It is sculptural, modern, organic, yet so simple. This can be mounted vertically or horizontally, and its two bulbs illuminate in opposite directions for maximum effect. 

This sconce would be perfect in a hall, entry, living room, or anywhere there is a need for some quiet drama. Purchase yours here.

Elevate & Illuminate Your Home

As you can see, a "lamp" is so much more than a lightbulb holder. It serves an important function, and thanks to the many talented lighting designers, it can also serve as art.
