Accent lighting plays a huge role in setting the mood for your home. Far from limited to its functionality, lighting is used to set the vibe of the living space it's in, and a charming lamp can take a side table from basic to aesthetic in a matter of seconds. The best part about accent lighting is its ability to add to your space without taking away from the overarching theme of the room, especially in the bedroom where layered lighting is essential for setting the mood before bed.
With the onset of the spring months, it's common to be in the 'home spruce' state of mind so, if you're looking to level up your bedroom lighting without committing to a total overhaul of the space, a trendy new lamp may do just the trick. If you don't believe us, take it from actress and interior design enthusiast Ashley Tisdale who recently shared her beautifully styled nightstand on Instagram featuring a dramatic oversized mushroom-shaped lamp that stole the show. It's not just Ashley who's accessorizing with non-traditional lighting, either. Here, we spoke to a couple of interior designers who are also loving contemporary lamps just as much as we are.
