What it is: Forsa Work Lamp, $30, Ikea

Why we love it: This luxe looking task lamp is proof that good design can be yours at a great price. I love the lamp's easily adjustable arm (and head), industrial construction and high polish finish - it looks fabulous in any space.

Stylist tip: Double up on this traditional workspace lamp and place one on each of your nightstands. They will instantly upgrade your space and add an element of unexpected design.
