The budget-conscious among us know that IKEA is a haven for affordable but stylish furniture, but with such an expansive catalogue, finding the right items can be akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. That’s why we’ve curated this list of IKEA’s 12 best lamps from as low as $25 to help you get that trending small light ambiance without breaking the bank.

For something more modern and sleek, the PILSKOTT LED floor lamp ($155) is perfect as a statement piece with curved LED light strips for modern or industrial-themed homes.
The futuristic floor lamp also comes with smart home features so you can dim it wirelessly through the IKEA Home smart app or TRÅDFRI remote control so you can switch the room’s aesthetics from just a tap away on your phone.
2. REGNSKUR/SKAFTET floor lamp

If, for whatever reason, you can’t have an overhead light fixture but still prefer the design of a pendant lamp, the REGNSKUR floor lamp from IKEA ($140) is the perfect substitute.
Made out of a soft polyester lampshade reminiscent of Chinese lanterns, the overhead lighting fixture will give any room a light and airy vibe with a soft and gentle glow. Despite its perceived bulkiness, the flatness of the lamp base allows you to neatly hide it underneath a sofa to save you some precious floor space.
3. SVARTNORA floor lamp ($89)

The SVARTNORA floor lamp ($89), inspired by Danish street lighting, gives off just the right spotlight vibes while illuminating your room in a soft glow that works best over a dining table, in a home office or a living room.
As the lamp head is adjustable, you can easily aim the light where you need it, and as a bonus, you can also easily switch between warm and cold light wirelessly according to your mood and needs.
4. LÅGTRYCK floor lamp ($59)

IKEA’s LÅGTRYCK floor lamp ($59) looks more like a piece of art than it does a lamp, but it’s making that exact quality that makes it an excellent choice for homeowners who are looking for a little more character.
