Everything old is new again and the same goes for the fungi-approved mushroom lamp trend.  You may think it’s just a randomly shaped lamp, but they’re actually so much more.

Best Mushroom Lamps 2024 - Cool Fungi Lights

While mushroom lamps may have been around since the 1960’s and 1970’s, they’ve made a huge return to the home decor space this year thanks to – you guessed it – TikTok.  These fungi inspired fixtures have racked up more than 3 billion video view on TikTok at last look.  Are we late to the game?!

Outside of simply looking cool and slightly psychedelic, mushroom lamps are shaped in a way that add a bit of sculptural look and feel to your room, especially ones that come in metallic options like silver, gold, brass, and stainless.

Their dome-like shade shape casts the light down which adds a calming ambiance no matter where you place them.  Many use these as their nightstand light, which makes them perfect for providing just enough light when you’re trying to read in bed – but now there are even floor lamps with this design too.

Outside of “the kids on TikTok” blowing up this trend, it was recently reported that Etsy stated that searches on their platform for “mushroom lamps” have increased by over 370% recently.

It’s not even just lamps, actually.  The mushroom trend, overall, has really been on the uptick lately.  In fact, people searching for mushroom decor has increased by 230% in the last few years.  We’re talking about things like mushroom wall art, tables, tapestries and so much more.  Even kids are getting in on the action with a wide variety of cute and colorful little mushroom nightlights.

When it comes to decor trends, it’s hard to convince someone to do it or not.  It’s really all subjective.  But, when it comes to these lamps, since are so many different styles and brands to choose from you can dip your toe in the water if you’re looking to try adding it to just about any room in your home without it looking too cartoony. However, if you have kids (or tweens on TikTok) these really are a must have for their bedroom.  They add such a fun vibe to your room whether you’re looking for something artsy and sophisticated or whimsical and mysterious.  So, overall, I say do it!
