In my books, Urban Outfitters has always been a brand catering for teenagers – even back when I was one myself – and now the younger Gen Z generation of early 20-somethings.
It’s definitely never been my go-to for stylish, elevated lamps – up until this week that is, when I happened to be scrolling through the brand’s lighting offering and found myself swooning over a whole list of Urban Outfitters lamps, even though I’m a true millennial.
I have a minor obsession with lamps and lighting, even though I am pretty fussy at the same time so I don’t get impressed all that easily. And while I don’t really have much space left for any more lamps in my home – as I’ve said before when admiring the designer-look H&M Home table lamps – I can still window shop and live vicariously through the purchases of others, yourself included.
I have since moved house though, so there might just be a spot for one new living room lighting idea in my new abode, which makes me very happy – could it be an Urban Outfitters number?
A large portion of Urban Outfitters’ lighting range is very dopamine decor-esque, which includes funky lamps in shapes of food – there’s everything from ramen noodles to my personal favourite, the cherry.
But even if you’re not particularly into this quirky lighting trend and rather are after something a little more elevated and timeless, there are plenty of chic lamps to choose from, many of which champion some of the latest home decor trends, while others have more of a retro charm, taking inspiration from midcentury and 1970s designs.
These are my current top 6 picks of Urban Outfitters lamps I’ve got my eye on right now and feel seriously tempted by. The best part is that several of them are currently on sale.
My top picks
Urban Outfitters
Kodhi Table Lamp
This lamp first came out in a blue and brown colourway which I spotted a few months back. But this chrome and butter yellow number is so chic – and it’s so petite, too.
Urban Outfitters
Kane Table Lamp
Is it just me or does this lamp look designer? It also comes in white but I love this super deep rusty shade and the retro shape of it reminiscent of the 70s.
Urban Outfitters
Codi Floor Lamp
When I first saw this side table-shaped floor lamp, I was immediately sold because it’s so innovative (I’ve never seen anything like it) yet it makes so much sense.
Urban Outfitters
Squiggle Table lamp
Wiggle-shaped lamps have been a big lighting trend since last year. And I’m sold on Urban Outfitters’ slightly irregular, chrome take on the look.
Urban Outfitters
Shell Lamp
First, it was large shell-shaped decorative bowls that were trending. Perhaps the natural progression of the look are shell-shaped lamps. I feel like this one is a need for me at this point.
Urban Outfitters
Verity Stone Lamp
If I didn’t know this lamp was from Urban Outfitters, I would have never guessed that it was. It looks so polished, sleek and elevated with the globe shaped bulb and stone base.
While Urban Outfitters is more of a new addition to my list of go-to places where to buy lighting, there are, of course, so many other high street brands with beautiful lamps, including the aforementioned H&M Home, M&S and Habitat among several others.
