Bring some brightness to your space with these trendy small lamps.

Whether you're an avid follower of the latest in home decor or simply scrolling through TikTok in your downtime, you might have noticed the rising popularity of small, tabletop lamps. Influencers are using them to warm up their decor by placing them as kitchen counter lamps, while the NYT has written about their recent appearance in restaurants around the Big Apple.

These sleek, thin lights bring coziness and ambiance to a room. And the viral lighting can transform your space too. For dark corners of your place, like under kitchen cabinets, they provide some much-needed brightness. On movie night when all the lights are out in your living room, they provide just the right amount of light so you're not in the pitch black dark and many come with dimmable features to adjust the brightness as needed. And the majority of these tiny tabletop lamps are battery-powered or charged via USB, meaning you don't have to deal with unsightly cords to set your space aglow.

We had the bright idea of searching high and low to put a spotlight on the most stylish and trendy table lamps around the web. Below, check out ET's top small TikTok-approved tabletop lighting picks that will illuminate your life.
