Best Table Lamps for Less Than $150

For an unbeatable price, the brass-plated FORSED table lamp ($29.99) from IKEA is suited for rustic rooms. We'd definitely replace the shade, though, and opt for a bright color.

Inspired by ostrich egg lamps in Italy, Restoration Hardware's Empire Egg Table Lamp Base in polished nickel ($104) is both substantial and delicate. It's so pretty, we wouldn't want to clutter anything around it! Shade sold separately.

East meets West in this red Asian Gourd Lamp ($149.99) with a curved cloverleaf linen shade from HomeVisions.com. We love how all the curves work well together, allowing the lamp to look good at every angle.

Light up the drama with Crate & Barrel's Lex Table Lamp ($99.95). A three-way switch lets you choose the drama level with this handblown glass lamp.
