Light Up a Tiny Space with Table Lamps that Stay Out of the Way

On the upside, small spaces are cosy and easy to keep warm and bright at a fraction of the cost of a larger area. That said, it can be a challenge to get the most of your lighting while also maximizing table space. Our four favorite table lamps maintain surface area for easy illumination that stays out of your way.

Clip Lamp

A clip lamp is a great addition to any small apartment, as it’s designed to clamp to any windowsill, shelf or desk corner, keeping elevated surfaces and your floor free for other things. Look for designs with a long arm with 360-degree reach — a well-placed clip lamp can also light up a reading chair or a dining table with a simple swivel.

Desk Lamp

Traditional desk lamps are designed to maximize versatility using the minimum amount of room on your desk. If you’re still pressed for places to store your library books, take your decorative efficiency to the next level by using your lamp as a space-saving paperweight.

Arc Lamp

A delicate arc lamp reaches right over your computer monitor, reading chair or printer to provide a demure light that doesn’t intrude. Look for an arc lamp design that features a wide, flat base that can be used as a platform for pencil cups, coffee mugs or other desk essentials.

Boom Arm Lamp

Put a contemporary twist on cool retro design with a sleek boom arm lamp. Boom arm lamps benefit from their maneuverability; pull the lamp tall for maximum illumination or swing it around and down to shed some close-up light on your home manicure.
