Since our living room has no overhead light, we need to rely on lamps! I went on a hunt for a round table lamp with a pleated shade and had the hardest time finding one in the size and color I needed. So in the process, I bookmarked a bunch of favorites I thought I would share in case you too are on the hunt for a good one! 24 modern traditional table lamps in all varying price points!

There are quite a few reasons I love adding lamps to a room. Table lamps or desk lighting can offer ambient lighting, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in a room with a softer, more diffused glow than overhead lighting. This helps make the space feel cozier and more comfortable.

Table lamps can also provide focused lighting and functionality where needed like desks and nightstands. They can also help add height diversity to a room when you are in need of some visual contrast and balance. I finally decided on this lamp from Lulu and Georgia, and although it is smaller it was just the character punch I was looking for!
