10 Unique Lighting Options That Aren't Your Average Table Lamp

Balkwan Sunset Projection Lamp

This TikTok-famous sunset lamp gives you the gift of the golden hour whenever you'd like. The little lamp, which is only about 10 inches tall, projects sunset-mimicking yellow and orange hues, and the further away from the wall the lamp sits, the bigger the projection gets. It creates a stunning display, particularly against bare white walls. If you'd prefer the sunset to radiate from your ceiling, just tilt the lamp head 90 degrees.

Confetti Glass Table Lamp

Another piece of lighting that's popular with the Gen Z TikTok audience, the mushroom lamp is actually vintage. The design dates back to the 1970s in Murano, Italy, which is famous for creating striking glasswork of all kinds. Urban Outfitters has made the pricey style (they usually sell for hundreds of dollars) accessible for the masses. What makes this mushroom lamp special is its colorful confetti pattern, another classic element of the Murano glass design—it's available in two colors.
