Interior designer and stylist Kathryn Bamford shares her 10 top sculptural statement lamps for all budgets.
A statement lamp can contribute significantly to the overall aesthetic and functionality of an interior space. I love adding one to create a visual focal point and to help create mood and ambiance. Gone are the days of bright lighting! Task and ambient lighting are key to making a home feel, well, homey! A sculptural lamp also stands alone as a decor piece, even when it’s not switched on.

Soloman Table Lamp from Freedom ($299, currently $209.30 on sale)
The best part about this lamp is it will blend with most styles! Hello white texture! And currently on sale.

Elly Table Lamp from Kmart ($15)
Elly is adorable. Perfect if you’re after a smaller scale. Could see this working well as bedside lamps or even on a smaller hall table.
Chloe Ceramic Table Lamp from Early Settler ($189, currently on sale to $129)

In summary, a statement lamp is not just a source of illumination; it’s a design element that can enhance the overall aesthetics, functionality, and ambiance of an interior space.
