The $17 Joanna Gaines-Approved Target Gem That’ll Instantly Brighten Up Your Home’s Darkest Corners (It’s So Adorable!)
Don’t you love when you buy one small, seemingly inconsequential item and it completely changes your day-to-day life for the better? That was me a few months ago after buying a reading lamp. I kept putting off the purchase by trying to convince myself that I was OK with reading and relaxing under the big light in my bedroom. But let’s face it: Overhead lighting is a major mood-killer, and you’re much better off with cozy ambient lighting instead.
Sure enough, the second I set up my reading lamp and turned it on, I instantly felt calmer in my space. I only wished I hadn’t been so stubborn and that I’d bought it sooner. If your own space could use a cute little bedside or desk lamp, I have just the thing for you. The Hearth & Hand with Magnolia collection at Target has this beautiful scalloped brass clip light, and it’s only $17! It might be small, but it’ll work wonders in improving the look and feel of your favorite reading corners.
What Is the Scalloped Brass Clip Light?
This light isn’t a proper desk lamp, per se, but you could certainly use it as one. It’s much smaller than your average lamp, but that’s precisely what makes it so versatile. Measuring 9 inches tall, the lamp features a sturdy clip base, so you can attach it to your headboard, desk, vanity, or bookshelf depending on where you need extra light. It comes with one LED light bulb, so you can start using it straight out of the box, and it’s also cordless. That’s right — this lamp is rechargeable, so you never have to worry about a short cord preventing you from situating it where you want. (One non-universal lithium ion battery and a USB-C charging cable are included in your purchase.)
Also of note is the lamp’s stunning design. It stands out, thanks to its gold-toned brass finish, and you can’t ignore the scallop detailing on its shade. Of course, the neck of the lamp is adjustable, so you can angle it in any direction. It’s a must-have!

At $17, the scalloped lamp is a steal, and it likely won’t stay in stock for much longer. Snag it fast, and never go without cozy and convenient direct lighting again.
