If — like us — you have a strong aversion to any space with harsh, overhead lighting, then you already know the importance of a good table lamp.
There’s something so welcoming about walking into a room that’s bathed in a soft glow. And since they are generally quite compact in size, table lamps are a simple way to transform the atmosphere of interiors both big and small.
One of our favourites right now from our Design Directory is the Pillar Table Lamp by TS Makers. Made up of a cream linen lampshade and a timber base, this classic lamp takes inspiration from mid-century modern design — and it’ll never go out of style.
The mushroom lamp trend went crazy a few years ago, but these days we love a slightly more subtle version of the curved design, like the Kartell Mini Geen-A Table Lamp from Space Furniture. It looks perfect on a dining table, and it’s battery-powered, making it ideal for illuminating both indoor and outdoor spaces.
The Blossom Portable Light by Dunlin is another great portable and cordless lamp, with a petite petal-inspired shape crafted from fluted bone china.
Meanwhile, The AJ Table Light from Cult is our pick for those night owls who need a light on their desk as they read (or work) long after the sun goes down. It was originally designed for the famous SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen in 1957, and the steel design is equal parts striking and practical.
But if you’re looking for a lamp that stands out no matter what time of day it is, consider something sculptural like the Nelly Table Light from Jardan, which features a gloss ceramic body topped with a hand-blown sphere.
There’s also the Layla Table Lamp by Lights Lights Lights. Made it Italy, this playful lamp combines coloured glass with a candy-cane style striped base — bringing a bold burst of colour to any room!
