Here’s a novel way to light a room in your home – with a teapot or coffee pot!
This whimsical range of unusual lighting is inspired by 1930s tableware. Both the white teapot light and the white coffee pot light are made from fine bone china, finished off with a sturdy cotton braid, from which they are hung.
The teapot light is Art Deco in style, with a noticeably angular handle, whereas the coffee pot light has more of a timeless appeal.
If you fancy hanging these quirky lights in your home, then each one will set you back £95. They’re both available to purchase at Liberty.

 Impressive floor lamp Wilkinson is a shop I never normally think to look in and it had passed me by that they even had an online store. But I was in search of some inexpensive plain green garden seat pads yesterday and came across their website (they have a great selection of seat pads for the super bargain price of £5.98 for two, if you’re interested).
I couldn’t resist a bit more a browse and came across this great looking Gracie floor lamp. The rattan effect lamp measures 122cm in height and would happily fill an empty corner of a room and provide a good source of light. It’s only £22 at Wilkinson Plus.
They’ve got lots of other homeware and garden items in stock, so I’ve bookmarked the URL and will hopefully remember to look there again.

Habitat currently have quite a few home accessories and furniture reduced in price, including these two Wilson lamps.
They’re made from matt glazed ceramic and available in a choice of white or black. We rather like the fact that they’re a bit of an unusual shape, which gives them a modern edge.
The Wilson table lamp base (it comes as a base only, so you can supply your own choice of lampshade) was priced at £35, but each is now down to £28.

 Stacked ball style lamp The stacked ball base style of lamp has been really popular in recent years. It’s easy to see why, as the base of the lamps is stylishly produced and looks striking when used in a room.
This Felix table lamp, from BhS, is currently reduced in price in two lovely colours. The charcoal lamp, shown here, is half price (down from £50 to £25) and the same lamp in a pale teal colour is now down to only £20.
It’s the chance to get great lighting staples at a considerably more affordable price than usual, so go and check them out whilst the offer is available.

If you thought chandeliers were out of your lighting price range, then think again.
This fantastic range of Flounce flock chandeliers, which feature cut glass droplets, trailing glass beads and a soft flock coating that gives the feel of velvet, are only £65 each.
The chandelier comes in a choice of seven colours, including the gorgeous blue, delicate aqua and opulent purple, plus a rich red, olive green, deep pink and classic black.
The coloured chandelier designs makes them the perfect lighting choice to finish off contemporary home designs and they look like they should come with a price tag much higher than £65.
You’ll find the full range of Flounce flock chandeliers available to purchase from The French Bedroom Company.

 Attractive butterfly shade Hot on the heels of the 3D Provence floral table lamp comes this great lighting discovery.
Made by Mixko, a Japanese and British designer duo, this unusual buttefly light is made from thick white felt. The lamp shade is available in a choice of drum or drape styles and each has a series of butterflies cut out of the material and adorning the light in various places. The butterflies vary in shape and size and look like they’ve been attracted to the sight of the light and are perched on the shade to be near it.
This unusual piece is available to purchase from The French Bedroom Company.

 Flower dimension lamp Whilst nipping through M&S the other day, and heading down an escalator, this little beauty caught my eye.
It could be a relatively unimposing, ceramic table lamp, but it’s been given a contemporary touch by the addition of 3D floral decorations on the lamp base. The dimensional aspect is very noticeable – it’s what made it stand out for me – and it looks very impressive. I couldn’t resist looking it up as soon as I got home and am pleased to see it’s in stock and available to purchase online.
The Provence flower table lamp is a pale creamy white in colour, making it perfect for fitting in with many interior colour schemes, and it comes complete with a matching conical lamp shade.

 Stunning lampshade This black and white graphic dahlia design lampshade is very striking and would work well with a monochrome decor scheme.

The dahlia print lampshade is available from Illustrated Living, for £31.95.
