The Dollar Tree Light That Gives Your Tablescape A More Elegant Vibe

The grandparents' fine china is washed, the silverware is set on your dining table, and all that's left is some accent decor to tie everything together. Candles are one option for classic lighting and ambiance during a meal, but live-flame candles might come with some concerns. Battery-operated LED candles are always an option, but they tend to cast a weak glow. Wouldn't the low light from a bistro lamp or two lend the perfect level of elegance to the tablescape? Dollar Tree has a gold touch-operated lamp that's just the thing to cast a classy glow over your meal.

This piece is handsome enough to earn a spot in your shopping cart based on looks alone, but there are even more reasons for hosts to love the touch-on lamp. First, it has a small footprint that won't take up valuable table space for food, and its height allows soft light to spread far beyond its minimal base. It's cordless and easily portable, so it can move from the formal dining table to a breakfast nook high-top or light up a backyard patio on summer nights.

Bargain hunters know to take Dollar Tree's website with a grain of salt. There are plenty of things on the shelves that, for some reason, don't make it onto the site. Unfortunately, this touch lamp is one such item, but it's definitely worth scanning the aisles at a brick-and-mortar Dollar Tree near you to see if you can score one. They come in black, white, and gold for a mere $7 each. The covetable gold version will certainly glam up your table spread, but any of these lamps is an elegant Dollar Tree find that's perfect for holidays, special occasions, and everyday coziness.

With its three neutral finishes and simple shape, it's almost harder to style this lamp wrong than it is to do it right. However, one lone lamp may seem dwarfed by the size of a large table, so if your table is especially long or if you'll be adding leaves to it for a special occasion, a line of lamps down the center might be exactly what it needs. For just over $21, you can snag a trio of same-color lamps to run down the center of the table. Keep it from resembling a library reading desk by adding other elements like flowers, greenery, a runner, or crisp placemats.

Gold will go far if you're seeking a elegant and glamorous vibe, feeling as festive at Eid, Easter, or Passover as it will for winter holidays. For spring, you can accompany each gold lamp with small vases of fresh flowers, or set the lamps atop a striped runner and a floral table linens, accompany each gold lamp with a small vase of fresh flowers, or incorporate other Martha Stewart-inspired decor ideas to get ready for spring. If upscale elegance isn't the mood you're going for, the lamps in black or white can be used to lend a French bistro ambiance to your dining room, making it feel like a casual hangout space for sipping a café au lait and peoplewatching. You'll only need one or two of these touch lights, a little round table, a simple tablecloth, and napkins in pleasing solids or checks. Place an empty wine goblet or coffee cups on saucers to mark each seat for guests and give your table a welcoming vibe.
