With cosy rechargeable table lamps you can transform unloved spaces into happy places – here are four quick, easy but wonderfully effective ideas to inspire you...
As the nights draw in, there’s nothing like settling down with a good book, a glass of something and the latest in rechargeable lighting.
Freed from the tyranny of wires and plug sockets, it’s a piece of cake to create a warm, comfy nook pretty much anywhere you like. So hunker down with these inspirational ideas for using rechargeable table lamps to create your own cosy corner at home…
1) Mark out your own private corner in the living room
Lights have an under-appreciated superpower: they can be used to mark out special zones in a room, without having to put up screens or walls or even rearrange the furniture. So why not use a rechargeable table lamp to stake out your very own private corner of the living room – the bit that’s reserved just for you and your favourite reading matter?
Being cordless, there’s no need to worry about dealing with pesky plugs and cables: just pop a rechargeable lamp on a cupboard or side table next to your favourite corner of the sofa and enjoy the warm, welcoming glow.
You can really personalise it with colour and texture by pairing your table lamp with a shade that sings to you. The living room above by @itsnotsogrimupnorth features our Freya rechargeable table lamp in brass, topped with a Morris & Co empire lampshade in China blue marigold linen. Perfect for one!
2) Turn a useless alcove into a happy nook
One of the really transformative things about cordless lighting is the way you can suddenly make use of spaces around the home that were previously wasted.
It’s so easy to create a cosy reading nook in an alcove – all you really need is a comfy chair and the right lighting. The Rattle rattan rechargeable table lamp adds a lovely natural ambience in the nursery by @mrsjessdaines above, and offers the perfect spot for curling up and catching up with a good book (or some sleep).
3) Create an intimate dining spot
Whether it’s supper with friends or an intimate meal for two, you can create that warm, inviting feel in any dining space just by placing a rechargeable lamp on the table.
The dining area by @byemmadiaz above features our Phileas rechargeable table lamp, designed by Matthew Williamson. And being cordless, you can take the Phileas with you on your travels, to create a cosy eating area wherever you like: the dining room, the kitchen, an impromptu indoor picnic in the conservatory…
Meanwhile, the Doorstop rechargeable table lamp in black marble makes a fine centrepiece in this dining area (above), and is featured above with our matching Chukka rechargeable wall lights, which help to frame the space and add extra warmth and atmosphere.
4) Turn the bathroom into a heavenly haven
With rechargeable lights, you really can create that warm, cosy feeling anywhere – including the bathroom. After a long day, what could be better than a long soak in soft lamplight?
Yes, it’s decadent…but so what? You’re worth it…
Our rechargeable table lamps are dimmable, too, and come with an endless choice of lampshades.
