Cream Mid Century Modern Desk & Table Lamps

Why We Love Desk & Table Lamps

Regardless of whether your tastes are traditional or tend toward more contemporary table lamps, you'll find what you need right here. The lighting and decorative opportunities presented in our selection of desk lamps and table lamps are infinite. They range from highly decorative providers of ambient light to sleek, functional and adjustable task lighting. These desk and table lamps come in sizes appropriate to any table or desktop surface and can either sit directly on those surfaces or get clamped to the edges as a clamp lamp or shelf light. For portable and adjustable lighting, there's no better option.

Where Desk & Table Lamps Work Best

Due to their versatility, desk and table lamps can offer style and a helpful light source in almost any space. Accent table lamps are ideal for providing ambient light and an eye-catching decorative element in living rooms where warm illumination is welcomed. Meanwhile, on bedside tables or desktops, desk lights provide focused light ideal for reading, paperwork and other tasks. Most of the desk lamps featured here also offer great flexibility and adjustability, including adjustable arms and light dimming controls, allowing them to become the perfect source of light for any task you may have on your plate. Or, consider clamp lamps in the office for adjustable lighting that mounts to your desk area. Finally, in kitchens and dining rooms, look to a console lamp to place atop buffet tables. You'll appreciate the added accent light from a buffet lamp and the extra decoration in the room.

A Desk or Table Lamp for Every Style

Whether your style is traditional or ultra-modern, you're guaranteed to find the perfect portable lamp here. And because desk and table lamps are so easy and convenient to introduce to any room, you'll have no problem finding a lamp for each room of your home. For Scandinavian design enthusiasts, look to the collection of lamps by Arne Jacobson for Louis Poulsen. Mid-century modern themed rooms will appreciate the 1950s inspired table lamps from Flos Lighting or Gubi Lighting. These decorative lamps look as if they were pulled straight from the middle of the century. And modern LED desk lamp designs from Koncept or Luceplan will ensure your space is contemporary and energy efficient. For any space in your home, you'll be happy to introduce the flexibility and portability of a desk or table lamp.

How to Choose the Best Lamps

The first thing to consider when shopping for a new desk or table lamp is the lamp's intended purpose. Is it needed for decoration or to help you accomplish a given task by providing exceptionally focused and bright light? Once you determine its purpose, you can then begin looking to different sizes of lamps to fit your bedroom, living room or office. Remember to thoroughly review a lamp's height, weight, width and adjustability options to get the best idea of how the lamp will fit into your space. Keep in mind many of the lamps feature adjustable arms and will require additional space in any room they are placed. Look the lamp's lumen chart to identify how bright it will be and check its bulb requirements to be prepared with the right light bulb when the fixture arrives.
