Ripple Side Table

Pros: The linen shade and the chunky walnut base channel a mid-century vibe while bringing it up to date. You can also tilt the base to balance on one leg. Two lamps in one!

The cord reaches a length of 80 inches—handy if your outlets are few or far between.

Cons: When poised on a single leg, the Rook is a bit unstable.

Rook takes up a lot of space, both in height and width, and would domineer small bedside tables or desks. Reserve for roomier perches.

This edgy, angular Faceted Mirror Side Table’s antiqued mirror surface reflects and refracts light, creating demention and lightening up the look of any room.

Blu Dot hits another home run with this utterly simple, yet irresistably delightful table lamp. We're fans of the white version, which plays a muted backdrop to its rich red cord, but it's also available in black on black if a monochromatic look is more your style.

This modular sectional has the low-slung, relaxed silhouette of an Italian sofa three times the price. Bright persimmon contrast stitching adds just the right amount of oomph to the otherwise neutral, khaki-inspired palette.
