As a style editor, I'm always looking for home decor that's not only functional but exciting, too. Thankfully, Anthropologie makes finding that combination really easy. So, while on my daily scroll of the brand's home decor page, I was stopped dead in my tracks by the Bobbin Lamp. From its bright color to its unique shape and dome shade, how could this stylish little lamp get any better? I'll tell you — it's portable and rechargeable.

You might be thinking — aren't all lamps, in a way, portable? Sure, they can be. But most lamps need to be plugged into an outlet to operate. Once this lamp is charged, it has up to 10 hours of battery life, so you can unplug it and bring it all around your home — from your desk for reading to your patio table for dinner. Its distinctive and playful style will instantly make any room feel that much more exciting.

Of course, portable table lamps should be a good source of light for any room, but in my opinion, they have to be stylish, too. As for the Bobbin lamp, well, this one is both.

Along with its fun design features, this lamp comes in either salmon pink or denim blue — two shades that will certainly add a pop of color to any room in your home. The best part? The Bobbin is highly-rated on Anthropologie's website, with one reviewer calling this lamp the "cutest LED lamp". It sure is cute, isn't it?

The Bobbin lamp is small, yes, but it has it all. This table lamp is what you need in your home to brighten up any space with character, style, and of course, light!

Since Anthropologie has loads more stunning table lamp styles, I took it upon myself to find three more options that are bound to jazz up your interior design. Your new table lamp awaits!
