Moon lamps are THE TikTok-approved addition your home needs and we've found 11 of the best for you to choose from
If you’re an avid watcher of TikTok and spend countless hours scrolling through the For You page instead of going to sleep at a reasonable hour (just me?), then you’ll have likely come across moon lamps. They seem to be everywhere, and I can’t help but be intrigued by them.
They’re not my usual choice of interior decoration, but they’ve caught my eye nonetheless. They seem to add warmth to a room in a way that a regular lamp can’t and, of course, they’re visually captivating. Crafted to a textured effect and adorned with crater-like impressions that, when it’s switched on, replicate the very same lunar in the sky, moon lamps are THE thing to buy.
What is a moon lamp for?
Perhaps you’re a spiritual soul who is drawn to the stars and planets, or you’re someone who reads up on your horoscope and is intrigued by star signs and the like, a moon lamp is right up your street. You can switch up the colours with a lot of them, too, providing the desired atmosphere for any room - perfect as a comforting night light on your bedside table.

How does a moon lamp work?
Most of the moon lamps on the market plug straight into the wall, so you can pop them straight on your fold-away desk and won't have to worry about faffing around with finding the right batteries. Some, however, are levitating or floating moon lamps with a base that plugs in and a clever magnetic mechanism that causes the ‘moon’ part to hover. You can give them a gentle spin, too, and create some movement.
What is the best moon light?
The one that’s everywhere on TikTok right now is this Levitating Moon Lamp from Amazon. It’s at the higher end of the price spectrum, but the sleek design and smart way of working makes it worth it. This Elevated Moon Essential Oil Diffuser LED Lamp from Etsy goes one step further than lighting a room, it also dispenses your chosen essential oil for a totally relaxing atmosphere. Elsewhere, All Things Brighton’s Moon Lamp features two different modes of illuminating action (cool white and warm yellow) as well as touch control and a chic metal base. Just don’t expect any of them to wax or wane.
