Switching on the lamps during the day has long been a signal that cosy autumn days are on their way, and with lighting becoming increasingly affordable and stylish, it’s one of the easiest ways to give your home a quick refresh.
Placed in a dark corner, illuminating a sideboard or positioned on a small table to cast a glow over a reading nook, it’s easy to see just how transformative a well-placed lamp can be. And there’s one high-street hero that’s caught our eye. Hailing from Habitat, its sculptural wooden base makes it the perfect cosy-season purchase.
When it comes to interiors, few names have the same aspirational appeal as Soho Home. Its signature look mixes luxe materials with vintage charm for a quietly luxurious feel. So when we spotted this Habitat design, with its mango wood base and softly rippled shape, we couldn’t help but see a little of that same high-end appeal.
A shapely base like this only really needs a simple shade to let it shine, which is why Habitat suggests pairing it with this Natural cone shaped lampshade. One reviewer praised the combination, saying it 'makes the lamp base a statement piece at a reasonable price'.
There are few accessories that can work hard without looking like they’re trying too hard, and this is the perfect example. Crafted from mango wood with a sculptural silhouette, it’s the sort of piece that can move around the home as the seasons change – and at £50, it feels like an instant refresh.
