Smooth curves, clean lines and punchy hues: cue the humble mushroom lamp. As far as interiors is concerned, mushrooms are having a moment, but these quirky designs are nothing new. First sprouting up in the 70s, mushroom lamps are back to whisk a retro-inspired touch to homes – and we're here for it.
It's not hard to see why these kitschy pieces are experiencing a renaissance. With their angled silhouettes and soft illumination, these small but mighty lamps pack an aesthetic punch wherever they go. A style that works well with a myriad of schemes, mushroom lamps are an easy way to pep up any room in an instant.
Otherwise known as dome lamps, mushroom lamps are famed for their straight bases and domed tops that resemble (you guessed it) a mushroom. While the fundamental shape of these funky lamps will always be the same, mushroom lamps come in various styles: from abstract Bauhaus-inspired shapes to punchy 80s colourways, there's a mushroom lamp to suit every living room, bedroom or office space.
