27 Chic Table Lamps Under $100 (That I'd Put In My Own Home)

I would argue that lighting is one of the most important features in interior design–definitely just as important as the furniture itself.

Picture a beautiful office space. There are probably sweeping windows letting natural light flood in, lovely task lamps on each desk, and gorgeous pendant lights overhead. Now picture that same space under fluorescent lighting… not good.

I’m adamant about minimally using overhead lighting at night; I choose to turn on every possible lamp instead. And don’t get me started on LED bulbs that give off that white light similar to a fluorescent bulb. I can’t use them. I still get the “soft white” light bulbs. Soft yellow light is a very important feature in my light bulb shopping.

So yes – I would argue everyone should have at least one, probably 2-3 lamps in every room (depending on the size of the room). But basically my theory is there should be enough lamps to light the room without needing to turn on overhead lighting.

Of course, lamps can get expensive. So here are 27 great-looking table lamps under $100!
