The Sidnie Lamp from Schoolhouse is simple yet totally sophisticated. Manufactured in the brand's Portland warehouse, it’s made from hand-spun steel and comes in three finishes: white, brass, and juniper green. Schoolhouse products are made with durability in mind (they're called modern heirlooms for a reason), so don't need to worry if it's accidentally knocked off a table or mishandled during a move.

It's expensive (the brass version costs $100 more than the other two), but its versatility and quality construction mean you'll have it for many years.

If you’re looking for a lamp that's big on style but low on cost, then the Novogratz x Globe Electric Haydel Lamp is an easy choice. Available in a variety of finishes (including matte pink and brass), this piece makes a wonderful addition to a guest room, entryway, or modern side table.

While the lamp has a classic dome shape and pull cords, the metal finish gives it a fresh, on-trend look. The lamp uses two 60-watt bulbs which provide plenty of light, and since each bulb is turned on via its own pull chain, you have plenty of control.

Most mushroom lamps, and table lamps in general, are made of metal. If you want something that really stands out, consider Studio Anansi's Limestone Table Lamp, a CB2 exclusive that's made from, yup, solid limestone.

Heavy and durable, it has a simple silhouette and only comes in the natural stone color—although each lamp will have subtle tonal variations, so you'll get a one-of-a-kind piece. Give it the place of honor on a console or entryway table and let it shine.

If the Bellhop Lamp had a motto, it'd be "No outlet? No problem." The modern fixture—from designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby for FLOS—is one of few wireless options which was designed with utility and aesthetics equally in mind. Aside from charging via USB-C (and offering four hours of use per charge), the lamp also has a five-step dimmer so you can customize your level of light.

The Bellhop is constructed from polycarbonate and available in a variety of hues. With a curved shade and cylindrical base, the lamp truly looks like a mushroom—just one that evokes an upscale '70s feel. And while it was first made available in 2018, it could easily be mistaken for a vintage find from a European flea market.

Is your style anything but minimalist? Maybe even a bit psychedelic? If so, you'll love Urban Outfitters' Ansel Table Lamp. The groovy glass lamp has a candy-striped pattern that almost looks transparent. While most mushroom lamps are tall and slim, this unique lamp has a squat, compact design with an open shade that sits atop a bulb-shaped base.

It also comes in a variety of colors, including blue, brown, green, and pearly white. While there isn’t an on/off switch—you just have to plug it and unplug it—the lamp does have a 7-foot cord which gives you ample room for placement.

Dimensions: 12 x 18 inches | Max Wattage: 40 | Switch: Dimmer | Bulb Included: No

The Luz Table Lamp from Lulu and Georgia marries classic mushroom curves with clean, modern lines. Since the base and pole are thin and sleek, it fits on even the most compact nightstands and side tables.

Three colors are available: terracotta, gold, and black. We have to throw our weight behind the terracotta in particular, though, as it's a hard-to-come-by color that meshes well with everything from cherry and espresso furniture and floors to all-white minimalist walls.

Rejuvenation

Dimensions: 10.37 x 17.5 inches | Max Wattage: 5 | Switch: Pull chain | Bulb Included: Yes

Mushroom lamps are most often associated with the 1970s, but this lamp proves that the design works with Art Deco style too. Rejuvenation's Altadena Lamp is a true statement piece, with an opal glass shade, double pull chains, and sculptural metal base. It comes in both aged brass and polished nickel finishes, although the brass option feels much more glamorous and old-fashioned. It'll fit right at home in a vintage-inspired space—just add a floral wallpaper and a shag rug to complete the look.

The majority of mushroom lamps are table or desk lamps, so it’s rare to find a mushroom floor lamp—especially one with as much panache as the Panthella Floor Lamp. Designed by Verner Panton for Louis Poulsen in 1971, this lamp is a true midcentury piece that will elevate any modern space (and it has the price tag to prove it).

Surprisingly compact and slender, it’s particularly useful in cozy apartments and smaller rooms that need an extra boost of light. It also works well when placed at the end of a sofa or in a corner that needs a little extra pizzazz.
