70s trends are having a major comeback this year—we’re seeing flared denim, halter-neck tops, and bell sleeves everywhere. But mushroom lamps are also having a major moment in home decor.

They’re called mushroom lamps because they’re shaped like mushrooms, and these lamps come in metallic finishes and glossy colors. Mushroom lamps fit in perfectly with space-age decor, as they look super futuristic, but they were once popular in the ’60 and ’70s.

The lamps add a sculptural element to any room and they’re functional as the dome shape allows them to cast light downward to create a feeling of warmth.
