When to Choose Small
The small size fits gracefully on a desk, compact nightstand, or bookshelf. At $59.90, it is an easy entry point.
Choose Small if:
- Buying for a desk, office, or compact bedside table
- You want a delicate accent light
- Buying multiple lamps (bridesmaids, children’s rooms)
- The recipient prefers minimal decor
Small available for: Eternal Rose, Pink Carnation, Purple Carnation, White Rose, Red Hydrangea, Blue Hydrangea, and Dandelion.
When to Choose Medium (80mm)
The medium size is our most popular option for gifting. It catches the eye immediately and feels more substantial.
Choose Medium if:
- This is a main gift
- You want flower detail visible from across the room
- The recipient has a standard bedside table
The Sunflower Lamp is available in Large only (100mm). All other flowers are available in Small or Medium.
