I have always been a bit of a bookworm, and now we're well into fall, I’m fixated on creating the coziest of reading corners – a comfortable spot to curl up with a book, a blanket, and a mug of something warm.
Of course, the perfect reading nook requires lighting ideas to truly set the mood (and stop me from straining my eyes). So when I spotted this vintage-style O'Bright Pharmacy Floor Lamp on Amazon, I knew it would be the perfect finishing touch.
It’s part of the Prime Day sales, and while it has the look of lamps found in designer living rooms, it’s actually a fraction of the price at just under $65. Plus, it blends old-world charm with modern convenience (it's dimmable!) and boasts 5,000+ reviews.
To try to create a cocooning yet chic reading corner, I turned to some of my favorite designers for some inspo. After finding this moody fireside space seen above, by Oho Interiors in my bookmarks from their Scandi lakeside home project, I set my sights on sourcing a pharmacy-style lamp.
And I think you'd agree, this is a pretty perfect designer look-a-like.
Made from 100% metal, it gives a sturdy and substantial quality for the price. It also features a unique ultra-flexible design – which means that, unlike most floor lamps that have a very minimal range, this LED lamp has a swivel head and 360° swing arms to allow you to point the light in any direction you need. Plus, the height is fully adjustable too.
I'm also incredibly picky when it comes to the tone and texture of brass finishes, and this one is neither too shiny nor too matte, earning my seal of approval on aesthetics, too.
With 5,240 glowing reviews that sing its praises, this study, easy-to-assemble, vintage-style floor lamp is a must-grab this Prime Day. It oozes timeless charm and adds an extra level of coziness to your living spaces for fall.
I love that it has a built-in smart dimmer switch too, so I can dial the brightness down in the evenings for a softer, ambient glow that completes my cozy living room.
Because it’s on sale in the Prime Day deals, now’s the time to grab it. Its shorter sibling, the O'Bright LED Pharmacy Table Lamp, is also reduced and makes the perfect desk lamp with all the same technology and flexibility.
Whether you’re refreshing a reading corner or are simply after a really great lamp without the designer price tag, this is one of those rare Amazon finds that ticks every box.
Create a cozy reading nook this Prime Day
Paired with a lovely striped chair, a tiny table, and a cozy throw pillow, you can create a rom-com, layered Nora Ephron fall aesthetic at home, too.
Upgrade a boring loveseat and protect it from daily wear and tear with this heavyweight, highly praised slipcover. With a chic striped design, relaxed skirted silhouette, and little ribbon ties, it's a chic and practical buy.
I love adding a small side table to a reading spot. They hardly take up space, and are so handy for setting down a drink, a portable lamp, or a candle to provide extra ambience. This boho rattan one is top of my list.
Add a splash more pattern with this set of two farmhouse-style block print pillows. The moody palette and unique pattern mean no one will ever tell they're from Amazon, plus they're made from a premium cotton canvas too.
Affordable, elegant, and perfect for getting cozy, this is one of those finds that proves that great design can be found at Amazon (if you know where to look).
