10 Stylish Lighting Finds That Will Instantly Elevate Your Space

Whether you share a tiny apartment with roommates or just moved into your first house, we’re all after the same thing: to make any space — regardless of size, look, or location — feel like home. Everything from the big (furniture) to the small (accessories like candles or vases) must be carefully considered. After all, each item sets the tone for not just how you live, but how you feel within the confines of your walls.

There is, however, one design component that has more impact than the rest. Lighting is the insider’s secret to expert-level home decor because it offers the trifecta: It serves a functional purpose, it adds style, and it sets the right mood. So as you’re thinking about ways to breathe new life into your space as fall fast approaches, know that Urban Outfitters has a wide range of modern options full of pieces that will do just that. There’s something for any taste, from sconces that double as sculptures to flush mounts that lend a boho feel. Need a lamp for studying or reading? Try a task-style desk lamp in industrial and vintage-inspired silhouettes. Looking to give a darker room a little more light? The retailer’s artful floor lamps are perfect statement-makers for a living room or bedroom.
