Getting the best lamps for your home is an interiors must.

Coming home from a long day's work is all about snuggling up in an armchair with a warm cup of something, throwing on your comfiest jammies and binging the sh*t outta Netflix. Now just imagine that idyllic scenario; but with the main ceiling light on. Nothing quite sabotages the ambience of a room like turning on the big light. Whenever my flatmate switches it on, it’s like a vampire (me) has been exposed to the sun.

If you find yourself sitting at home and sometimes not actually feeling at home, a lamp could be the solution. If you’re often in your bedroom, living room, dining room, at-home office or wherever and struggling to unwind at the end of the day - just think about switching off the main ceiling lights and turning on a lamp. If it’s not bright enough, turn on a few.

Lamps are great for atmospheric mood lighting for things like reading, board games (hello lockdown 3.0), eating dinner or watching TV. Lamps are less harsh than main ceiling lights as their light is usually diffused by a trendy lampshade and the direction of the light faces upwards instead of down. This gives the room a softer glow, therefore stabilizing our mood.

What types of lamps are there?

There are many different types of lamp, you have your standard desk lamp, great if you’re hybrid working along with most of the nation right now. Floor lamps have long been a fantastic feature in any living room or dining room. They can brighten dark and boring corners, create the illusion of more space by drawing your attention upwards. Overarching floor lamps are handy as they lean right over the sofa and illuminate the coffee table AKA optimal cheese board set-up.
