Lamps for every occasion

Every room needs a good mix of lighting. Sometimes we need a ceiling lamp for cleaning, for example. Other times we need directed lighting from a work lamp for when we’re reading. And then there are those times when we need mood lighting of a pendant or table lamp to help a room look and feel cosier and warmer.

The right light for reading

Planning on spending the afternoon lounging on the sofa and reading a good book? Make sure you have the right light. Directed light that’s cool and bright is best for working and reading since it mimics daylight and helps you feel more alert.

Not just for tables

Did you know that placing a table lamp in your window can help brighten your mood and chase away autumn darkness? Go for a warm white light bulb to set a cosy mood that’s perfect for doing a crossword or napping on the sofa.
