I tend to spend a bit more on investment pieces, like a leather sofa, and save on accessories which are likely to be swapped out when I’m craving an update- unless the item is something exceptional. While shopping for a couple of new lighting fixtures for our place, I was amazed by how expensive the average lamp was. Ever ready for a challenge, I decided to find 50 under $50, without sacrificing on style. Target ended up being the winner in terms of having a fantastic selection with many ringing in under the $40 mark, and the sister companies AllModern/Wayfair/Joss & Main were the places to shop for designer lamps at a discount (pro tip: you can save your favorites for all three under one account). We’ve sourced something to suit every space and style, without blowing your budget.
