What reviewers say

Buyers mostly mention a very soft, soothing light, perfect as a night light or for evening reading. The finish is judged more upscale than the price, and the cordless rechargeable versions are loved for placing the lamp "wherever you want, no socket". One caution: check the model is actually dimmable if you want to adjust the brightness.

Why it works in decor

The mushroom shape brings an on-trend seventies retro touch that breaks the straight lines of a bedroom or living room. In amber glass, opaline or ceramic, it reads as a small decor object as much as a lamp. Placed as a pair on two nightstands, the effect is instant.

Where to put it

On a nightstand, a bookshelf end, a desk or an entryway console. Simple rule: a mushroom lamp doesn't replace the ceiling light, it creates a low, warm pool of light that makes the room cosy at night.
