Accent lighting plays a big role in both function and atmosphere at home. This week we shared many of our favorite small lamps and light sources in the Stories on our Instagram @theinspiredroomstyle. We focused on compact accent and mini lamps that tuck into tight spots to add a bit of light and warmth, and included specific sources for a few frequently asked-about pieces.
We received so many messages from followers saying the roundup was helpful, so we wanted to share those selections here on the blog as well. Finding reliable sources online can feel overwhelming, so our curated recommendations aim to simplify the search and narrow down good options.
Below you’ll find photos of a number of mini lamps and links to similar styles. We’ve also saved these and more to our Lighting story highlight on Instagram. At the end of the post are links to some of our favorite lighting tips and inspiration articles from the blog. Enjoy!
The mini rattan lamp in Courtney’s apartment is a common question. While that exact model has been out of stock, there are several similar mini lamps included below.
I own two of the mini white and gold accent lamps and love them. Their compact, shallow bases and squarer shades make them easy to place in narrow spots without a large shade that sticks out.
The little white lamp in my old kitchen with the rattan shade is one of the most asked-about pieces. The lamp itself is older and out of stock, but the rattan shade I used is still available in the exact size I have, and it also comes in a larger size.
This alternative lamp has a similar look to the kitchen piece and gives the same warm, textured feel.
Rattan shades are a lovely, unexpected way to add natural texture to a space. Texture is one of the simple finishing touches that brings warmth and interest to every room.
Courtney uses this little glass lamp to brighten a dark corner. Tip: pair a small lamp with a color-changing remote-control bulb to dial in warmer evening light; Courtney often chooses orange or yellow tones for a cozy glow.
