As a devoted dinner party host, I'm always looking for new ways to step up my hosting, and the new trend for dining table lamps just might be my favorite dining room lighting trick yet.
Inspired by the best-dressed restaurants in town, these LED-powered portable table lamps (designed specifically for the dining table) deliver that same moody soft-lit glow without the dangers of candlelight, the hideousness of overhead lighting, or the unsightly cables of wired lighting. Some are small enough to be styled as part of your table centerpiece ideas — but I particularly love the look of them styled in multiples of three.
And before you say it, yes, they do need regular recharging, with most options lasting up to 10 hours on full charge, but last time I checked, that's long enough to get you through even the most raucous of dinners. So, I've scoured Livingetc's favorite home decor brands to find some of the most stylish dining table lamps to help give you table setting a swanky "jazz bar" vibe.
