Table lamps are arguably one of the most important pieces of decor in your household — perhaps even more so than a comfy sectional or statement area rug . In our design experience, we've found that mood lighting can completely change the look and feel of a room, which is why having a good mix of floor lamps and table lamps is key. There are a couple things to consider when it comes to shopping out the best table lamp for your home, even down to what room you plan to use it in.

What to Consider When Shopping For the Best Table Lamps First and foremost, you'll want to consider the space you're decorating. While a larger area like a living room might have plenty of wall outlets for plug-in table lamps, a bedroom or guest room could be more limited; in this case, you'd be better off shopping for a battery-operated table lamp. Office spaces also tend to be cluttered with cords, whether it be from your laptop or monitor, so a cordless table lamp might be the best (and most hassle-free) option.



Perhaps you're focused less on practicality and more on style? In that case, West Elm and Pottery Barn are home to hundreds of stylish table lamps that tap into some of the year's biggest furniture trends (think bright colors and asymmetrical designs). If you're on a tight budget, you might also consider shopping out affordable table lamps from Amazon or Wayfair. Regardless of what you're in the market for, our expert editors are here to simplify your shopping experience.
