A few months ago, TikTokers went wild over Walmart’s $15 scalloped lamp. As Apartment Therapy pointed out at the time, scalloped edges are such a trend, but it’s hard to find affordable pieces that feature them. That’s what made this Walmart lamp such an essential find. Not to mention, it’s small so it’s easily moveable, and it’s cordless and rechargeable, so it’s perfect for really any spot in a dorm room. 

Now that springtime has hit, Walmart has a fresh (floral!) take on its iconic lamp. This lamp is still small, cordless, and rechargeable, with a sleek gold base, and it still costs just $15 ($14.96, to be exact). This version, though, has the cutest pleated blue and white floral lampshade.

The 13-inch lamp is perfect for a coastal-themed room aesthetic. (I want it for my own room at home!) In fact, I suspect that these blue and white floral vibes will become even more popular with The Summer I Turned Pretty’s new and final season coming up.

The fact that the lamp is cordless makes it look cleaner and means you can use it anywhere in your room. You can charge it easily with the USB cord and then put it on a bedside table, desk, or dresser.  

Plus, I always love a dimmable lamp because I tend to gravitate toward warm, minimal lighting at night. TikToker Bethany (@pnw.bethany) posted a video highlighting Walmart’s new spring arrivals that featured a couple of lamps, including this one. One person commented, “I need those lamps!” Yes, I think we all do! 

I don’t know about you, but Walmart may become my new go-to decor shopping spot!
