A few weeks ago I woke up and found pieces of my bedside lamp shattered on the ground. I have no idea what happened… except that maybe I throw things in my sleep??
I bought these lamps from Pottery Barn in 2020 after buying my first home. I loved the look of them and it was a bonus that they had USB plugs IN THE LAMP (yes, I know sleeping with my phone next to me is bad).
I contacted Pottery Barn twice to see if they would do something about the randomly broken lamp and they unfortunately said “I have reviewed your request and this item is too old to process any action on.” Although they don’t make these lamps anymore I was hopeful they would be willing to compensate for a new one.
Soooo… this started me on a white lamp hunt. If you're in the market for some new lamps, here are some of my current favorite white lamps for all budgets. I will try our local HomeGoods and TJ Maxx…I didn’t see anything I loved online. Stay tuned to see which will be the winner!
Design Tip #1: Ensure that a table lamp does not exceed 1½ times the height of the surface it rests on, as anything taller may overpower the table and create an appearance of top-heaviness.
Design Tip #2: If you don’t like the shade that comes with the lamp you can buy separate lamp shades. Just ensure the shade is no more than 1/3 of the total height of the lamp.
Design Tip #3: Position the bottom of the lampshade slightly below eye level to avoid direct light shining into your eyes while sitting in bed.
I’m leaning towards #4 to keep it similar to what I already have or maybe #11 to switch things up. I love the texture of #11!
I have the cute rattan lamp (#1) and the white textured lamp (#2) from Studio McGee at Target and love them both! I’ve had them for about 3 years and have had zero issues.
