This Designer Lighting Trend Is Finally Affordable
When interior designer Celerie Kemble debuted her lighting collection with Arteriors, the wicker Parasol Lamp, with its exaggerated scallop shade, became an instant design icon. However, at nearly $1,000, the lamp was out of reach for many.
Lately though, I’ve spotted a whole new crop of delightful rattan lamps in whimsical shapes— at prices that are much more affordable. I’ve always loved decorating with wicker and rattan pieces, so I was ultra thrilled to find these beauties. Below, I’ve shared a few of my favorites, plus, some styling tips for how to use them in a room.
Lila Table Lamp
This cutie hails from Soho Home, which is Soho House’s homewares line. (I don’t know why I didn’t venture onto their website earlier, because I’m kind of obsessed with everything!) While this lamp is definitely splurge-y, it almost doubles as a piece of art. Place it atop a credenza, dresser, or even a bar cart for a beach-y chic look that will never go out of style.

Sutton Rattan Table Lamp
This squiggly statement-maker caught my attention when I was browsing Anthropologie’s new lighting arrivals. Again, this piece is almost a sculpture in its own right, so keep the styling more minimal. Simply place it beside a stack of books or a decorative tray, and you’re golden.

2 Fungal Rattan Lampshade, Rattanshade, Table Lampshade, Wicker Lampshade
If you already have a lamp base you love, try sourcing fun lampshades on Etsy. There are tons of beautiful rattan possibilities, many of which are vintage for a one-of-a-kind look. This set of two lampshades is perfect for jazzing up your nightstands. You can also search “rattan lampshade” or “wicker lampshade” for more options.

Dimond Lighting Worldly Goods Collection Sycamore Hill Table Lamp
Alternatively, you could opt for a rattan base and a simple shade. This gourd-shaped lamp features a classic white shade, while the finial plays to the wicker trend. This lamp would also look lovely on a nightstand and would be equally charming in a child’s room or nursery.

Seta Wicker Table Lamp
A bit more loud and modern with its straight column base and wavy shade, this lamp would be right at home in either a contemporary or midcentury-inspired interior. Note that at nearly 30 inches high, it is quite large!
