Ideas for Lighting: Our Top Lamps and Lamp Shade Finds
The humble side lamp is often underestimated, yet it’s a design multitasker, bringing ambience, colour, and character to a room. With the shorter days drawing us indoors, thoughtful choices can add comfort, warmth, and style to your space.
When the days are short, we naturally turn to how lighting transforms our spaces. I love this time of year, closing the curtains, lighting candles, and switching on lamps to create that cosy, hygge feeling. It’s a ritual that brings calm and comfort at the end of the day.
Whether enhancing your everyday routine or creating a statement, the right lamp can make all the difference. Here are a few of our favourites to inspire your next lighting upgrade.
