Lagoon ombre teal blue glass table lamp

Glass table lamp

Glass table lamp

We love this elegant ombre table lamp, from Next.

The glass base is the eye-catching part of this lamp - it’s nicely shaped, but goes from a deep teal colour to a light blue. It’s accompanied by a faux silk teal shade, although you could replace this for a lighter colour if you wish.

The lagoon ombre table lamp is available from Next, where it’s priced at £35.

Osborne & Little Prima Donna cushion

Friday, March 5th, 2010
Statement cushion

Statement cushion

Osborne & Little are well known for their wallpaper and fabric design and have created this Prima Donna cushion for part of Heal’s ReDiscovers range.

Using traditional floral designs, the cushion is given a modern feel with its black and fluorescent pink roses and silver background. If you like the design and fancy more than just the cushion, there are a whole load of other matching items available, including a lampshade, rug, armchair and drum pouffe.

Personally, we feel that one or two pieces is enough to make a statement, as too much can be a bit overpowering, but each to their own.

The cushion is available from Heal’s, who are celebrating their 200th year anniversary in 2010, so look out for special offers in store and online throughout the year.

Felicity black and cream table lamp

Thursday, February 4th, 2010
Stylish monotone lamp

Stylish monotone lamp

It’s amazing how the base of a lamp can totally change its look. If this one was just a plain colour, it would probably be very easily missable, but the striking cream and black design draws the eye in immediately.

The cream base is made of ceramic and is decorated with a lovely black design, and it’s accompanied by a plain black faux linen drum-style lamp shade.

For a stylish lamp that will turn heads - for all the right reasons - and provide some essential light in a dark corner, then this Felicity table lamp is £65 from Very.

Lovely glass lamp base

Lovely glass lamp base

If you’re looking for a new lamp base, then this clear glass baroque style base could be the perfect option.

As well as looking great, the benefit of clear glass is that will go with almost any colour scheme and you can team it with the lampshade of your choice.

The vibrant pink leaf shade shown here is a good contrast colour and the silk shade is available to buy separately if you wish.

The baroque style glass lamp base is available from PenelopeTom on Not On The High Street, where it’s currently reduced in the sale.
