Partial to quirky, personality-filled pieces? Then make Anthropologie your first stop. The store’s home section is chock-full of stylish lighting gems — like this ceramic table lamp with high-contrast floral motifs carved onto the base. Finished with a scalloped fabric shade, it’s cutesy cottagecore style at its finest.

Calling all modern design lovers!CB2 is your destination for unique lighting solutions that incorporate striking shapes, sleek materials, and unexpected silhouettes. Take thisResin Table Lamp, for example. The artfully “crinkled” base brings a sculptural edge to any surface, and combined with a silk shade and a stainless steel accent — it’s the ultimate mix of textures.

Started in 2003 after Brian Flaherty found old-school, cast-iron glass shade molds in New York, Schoolhouse is committed to preserving American manufacturing and creating modern heirlooms. The retailer sells vintage and vintage-inspired lighting fixtures and home decor by crafters, collectors, and creatives. Take this wall sconce, for example, the clean-lined silhouette is a modern take on a classic, time-honored design.

Home Depot is a one-stop shop for everything you need for home improvement projects, so obviously the store has a solid lighting selection, too. From cozy options  like this Tiffany-style floor lamp (which style editors say are so back, BTW) to industrial-chic chandeliers, including plenty of outdoor options, there’s something for everyone — and at great prices, too. Keep an eye out for frequent sales to snag even better deals.

Quirky and cool, Urban Outfitters is a great destination for lights you won’t find anywhere else. All of the categories are covered here — from floor and table lamps to pendant lights, battery-powered LED lamps and sculptural paper floor lamps that make a stylish impression in an apartment-friendly footprint.

If finding something truly one-of-a-kind is your goal, there’s no better place to shop for lighting than Etsy. From vintage and antique finds to handmade pieces straight from makers around the world, the marketplace has something for everyone. Because many of the lighting pieces on Etsy are designed and made by artisans, some prices can be a bit higher, but there’s still something for everyone — like this curved pendant light shade that looks so futuristic.

The modern lighting options at Design Within Reach double as illuminated art, with sculptural shapes and bold hues that bring a little something special to any room. We love their affordable selection of table lamps (like this artsy task lamp), but there are stylish options in every category, from dramatic oversized pendant lights to sleek floor lamps.

In the same vein as Wayfair, AllModern offers up a lot of the same lighting brands as its sister shopping destination, with a slightly more curated selection that caters to homeowners who prefer a sleek and streamlined look. While prices range across the board, you can find many amazing buys for under $400, like this monochrome tripod floor lamp.

You already know West Elm as a reliable destination for modern furniture and decor, but don’t sleep on its lighting selection.

Prices can get expensive, but the site has constant sales — and an entire section for affordable lighting.

With free shipping on most orders, Lamps Plus is a go-to destination for great table and floor lamps, overhead lighting, and other home decor. The selection is huge and decently priced — look out for great sales to stock up on savings, and if you want, visit one of the brick-and-mortar locations.

We’re big fans of Wayfair here at Apartment Therapy, and there’s almost nothing (and we mean nothing) you can’t find at the mega-retailer. The lighting selection is (unsurprisingly) vast, with quality picks for every type of style and application, including outdoor selections and ceiling fans. We particularly love the wide array of table lamps, like this industrial-chic desk lamp that’s the perfect addition to a nightstand or workspace.

The selection of lighting at Industry West is modest, but it’s totally unique, like this playful midcentury lamp. Like the rest of Industry West’s offerings, the style of lighting is mostly modern-meets-contemporary and, while the prices are high, you’re guaranteed to find a quality design that no one else has.

In the same family as West Elm and Pottery Barn, Rejuvenation is a Portland-based brand with a large focus on stylish lighting solutions, like this classic pendant. The designs definitely lean more classic and traditional, and there is a whole section devoted to restored antique lighting. Prices are on the high end, but everything is reliably well-made and pretty much guaranteed to last years.
