It seems like everyone is decorating with paper lamps these days. From their globe-like shape to their light-as-air fabrication, these lamps are an attractive home decor feature that I, for one, can't seem to get enough of. Since I most often see them sold as hanging pendants, this clever paper desk lamp from Amazon caught my eye – it's petite, but just as stylish as its larger cousins. Not only that, but it's on sale for Amazon Prime Day.

This desk lamp has the same features as typical paper lighting, just in a smaller form. Because of its rice paper shade, it emits a soft, radiant glow that can create a cozy and inviting ambience. And since it's small in size, it can fit almost anywhere – use it as a desk lamp (as I plan to), place it on your nightstand, or let its attractive design style a bookcase.

Aside from that, its shape and texture make this lamp a perfectly fitting feature of the modern organic trend – an interior design trend that has captivated design lovers like myself over the past few years.

While other paper light variations can be quite pricey, this model comes in at less than $20 with its Amazon Prime Day discount.

I'm a firm believer that the simplest designs make the most impact in home decor, and this paper lamp is proof. With its warm yellow light output and chic round shape, this desk lamp has the potential to create a soft and inviting atmosphere in your home office – and looking at the reviews it's bright enough to work by too.

Aside from my praise, this paper lamp has received some glowing reviews (pun intended). One person wrote that they're obsessed with the lamp, saying it's even more beautiful in person. 'I've gotten so many compliments on this lamp already – it's definitely a conversation starter! But beyond its good looks, it's also super functional and provides great task lighting for my desk,' they wrote.

So, if you're like me and you can't seem to escape the paper lamp trend, now is the time to jump in. If you love the trend, but after a slightly different style, find three equally as stylish paper lamp choices – all of which are on sale for Prime Day – below.
