On a sheer convenience level, nothing quite beats the ease of a cordless lamp. One minute they're in the corner of an office lighting your desk as you finish up your work. The next, they're sitting on your bedside table, filling your room with a soft, ambient glow.

Lately, one particular cordless lamp has caught our eye online, and this one doesn't just have practical benefits – it looks really good too.

The lamp in question is M&S' Colby Rechargeable Metal Table Lamp. Retailing at £39.50, this stylish chrome design has an umbrella top and curved reflective base. With a slick, retro-futuristic finish that looks much more expensive than it is, it's a great way to quickly elevate any room in your house.

The lamp comes with a USB-C cable to help you charge as you please. On full brightness, it can last for up to 8 hours after 5 hours of being fully charged.

When styling, chrome is best paired with classic neutrals, wood tones and cool, dark hues. For a more harmonious look, consider investing in furniture with similar accents. Try coffee tables with chrome legs or chairs with silver arms.

For a warmer look, the rechargeable lamp is also available in an antique brass design. We recommend pairing this colour with warm woods and textured materials for a luxe, richer look.

The beauty of a cordless lamp is its portability. If you're having people round and feel like more light is needed, the Colby comes in handy. Equally, if you're moving to darker corner and want an extra source of light, this lamp is there to help.

For a soft, beautifully layered look, we recommend pairing Colby with multiple light sources. Try dotting lights around the room for a space that feels cosy and soft on the eye. Here's to elevating your home and making your life easier at the same time.
