Our Favorite Unique Table Lamps
Lamps are typically seen as purely functional fixtures. It is only natural to buy a light fixture that can sit on your accent table if you like to do your evening crossword in your recliner. Even so, unique table lamps can actually add a lot to a room’s décor besides brightening up a space.
A table lamp plays a very important role in decoration and adds character to a space. As lighting support, table lamps are fundamental, both for complementing the main illumination and defining the mood of a room through the tone and shade.
Whether you want to brighten up your foyer for those nights you come home late or just want to read a few more pages before bed, unique table lamps can make all the difference. Table lamps don’t just have to be functional; they can be fabulous!
And with our unique table lamp guide, we can show you how! No matter what room you want to brighten up and add your personal touch to it, our unique table lamp guide has something for you. Read on for our design tips and favorite table lamp picks!
Should You Buy a Table Lamp?
Most people use table lamps as a reading light, but for others, they are simply part of the décor. Although they are not among the most illuminating options, they can tie together the room’s personality and serve as a filler light source in coordination with the primary lighting. A table light works best on a stand next to the couch, a counter, a desktop, or a nightstand. They are also great for kids’ bedrooms, as they can serve as night lights throughout the evening.
Unique table lamps usually don’t exceed 32 inches in height, which is one of the main advantages. With its compact and small size, you can place a table lamp almost anywhere without taking up too much room. You can also choose from many different varieties, including colors, shapes, sizes, and many different styles. With so many options, it is easy to find that perfect blue table lamp that matches the rest of the accents in your home.
What Unique Table Lamps Add to Your Space
Whether for table lamps for bedroom with a farmhouse or modern style, you shouldn’t rely solely on table lighting to illuminate your entire room. In fact, most don’t reach much higher than 32 inches from the bottom of their base and have just one bulb. However, table lamps do have a useful purpose. In every room, there is at least one dark spot that needs illumination. The most common uses of a table lamp are:
- Spotlighting particular features or pieces of furniture
- Providing task lighting on a desk, kitchen counter, or nightstand
- Injecting personality into a room

Unique Table Lamps FAQs
We know we’ve probably talked your ear off about unique table lamps, but we know we didn’t get to all of your questions. So, to make sure we hit every basis, let’s answer some of our home décor shoppers’ top questions.
Q: How do I choose a table lamp style?
When choosing the perfect table lamp design to complete your room, here are a few things to consider:
Shade Height: Determine the perfect height range for your lamp by considering where you want to place your lamp. Next, measure from the table surface of your lamp to eye level — this will be your base measurement. Then, find the average height of the shade and divide the base measurement by three.
Lamp Size: To ensure you get a lamp that is the right size for your end table, estimate the height of your unique table lamp and add 18 inches to the lampshade measurement.
Shade Style: When considering your lamp shade, it’s important to pick a shade that matches your lamp’s purpose. For instance, if you want a reading table lamp, get a semi-opaque shade that provides a warm glow and allows for more room lighting. However, if you plan to light a room without the glare while watching TV, get an opaque or dark-colored shade.
Q: What is the price range for table lamps?
On average, a table lamp can cost anywhere from $50 to $400 depending on the material and brand.
