What is a mushroom lamp?
A mushroom lamp, or fungus lamp, is a table lamp designed with the mushroom's characteristic shape: a stem with a round or wide cap as the lampshade. The motif dates back to the design traditions of the 60s and 70s and is now back as a favourite in curated homes. At Dims Studio, you'll find mushroom lamps in various sizes, colours and materials.
Materials and types
Mushroom lamps come in several materials: hand-painted ceramic with a glossy glaze, classic glass in transparent or frosted versions, and combinations where the stem and cap are made of different materials. The glass versions give off a soft, diffuse light through the cap, while the ceramic versions have a more striking presence as decorative sculpture, even when the light is switched off.
Sizes
- Mini mushroom lamps: approx. 12-18 cm tall, as an accent on the bedside table or shelf.
- Standard mushroom lamps: approx. 20-30 cm, work well on the dining table or coffee table.
- Large mushroom lamps: 35+ cm, as the room's central light source or eye-catcher.
Colours and expressions
The mushroom lamp comes in several colour palettes. Classic earth tones, brown, beige, matte white, place the lamp in the 70s retro style. Pastel and pop versions in pink, light blue or mint green give a more modern expression. Glass versions range from clear and frosted to coloured bowls that tint the light warm or cool. The mushroom's cap often has a slight dome shape that spreads the light softly.
Use and styling
- Place the mushroom lamp on the bedside table as a soft reading light.
- Use a mini version as an accent on the shelf, even without light, the shape alone is decorative.
- Put two mushroom lamps together at different heights for visual composition.
- Combine with other candlesticks or ceramic candlesticks for an overall table decoration.
In various interior design styles
Mushroom lamps fit naturally into retro and 70s-inspired homes, where they meet other era-typical furniture and materials. In colourful, curated homes, the mushroom's round shape becomes a playful contrast to sharper lines. Scandinavian minimalism welcomes it as a soft, functional object. Boho style combines mushroom lamps with plants and textiles for a natural expression.
Maintenance
Dust the lamp regularly with a soft cloth. Glass versions can be cleaned with ordinary glass cleaner, while ceramic should be wiped with a damp cloth without abrasives. Always check the voltage of the bulb, most mushroom lamps use E14 or E27. Change the bulb according to the manufacturer's instructions.
