Courtesy of Urban OutfittersTo me, lighting is everything, which is why I’m the type of person to almost never turn on the big light (aka the ceiling light).
There’s just something about a stark fluorescent light that makes me feel like I’m back in a middle school classroom.
Instead, I prefer having a series of lamps around the house that together, create the ideal glowy ambiance. Additionally, the right lighting is the simplest way to completely transform your space, especially if you’re looking for an affordable solution.
Adding one or two lamps to any room gives it a whole new vibe, which is preferably warm and cozy.
I know that you, too, don’t want to turn on the big light. That’s why I curated a selection of 10+ lamps that will create the perfect glow in your home— and there’s something for every style and budget.
You can never go wrong with a table lamp, which you can pop on to a nightstand or side table. I’m a fan of the designer-looking mushroom lamp I found (you know the one) or a color-changing orb with a magical feel.
If you’re looking for something that provides a bit more light, I included a few floor lamps that deliver the right amount of brightness.
No matter which lamp you choose, you’ll love the cozy and warm glow it creates in your space.
