I have formed an obsession with the old
anglepoise lamp, from floor to ceiling, desk to bedside. My love was
boosted by a trip to The Potted Pig restaurant in Cardiff a few
months ago (well worth a visit by the way as the food is lovely-I can
fully recommend the Duck Hash yummie) where they have them dotted on
the walls creating a calm and sophisticated mood (see below):
I have been trying to figure out why I
like them so much and I have come to the conclusions is because they are
so versatile. They can be used absolutely everywhere and in
nearly every style of room you can think of.
Wall fixed lights can be used as bedside,
desk lights or as displayed in The Potted Pig dotted around rooms to make an elegant
industrial feel. In the above monochrome image there are Bestlites which are excellently
designed and of the highest quality.
Vintage lamps are
fab, they add character and an eclectic feel to a room.
This is a very cool Anglepoise chandelier- spider alien!
Celing pendent light and can be used over tables or as bedside lamps which is what I would love to do in our bedroom or guest bedroom...one day...
Floor lamps used
in more a formal way, but fit perfectly with
a Scandinavian or classical style.
Adding fun splashes of colour to a room
makes an eye catching statement with these beauties. Abigail Ahern also has one
of the oversize floor light but in a flock blue!
This fabric I just had to add in, it's
from PatTheCat Etsy
At the moment Achica are doing a sale on
Anglepoise lighting-just wish I could buy one.....if I have the spare cash and
room I would most certainly be purchasing the over sized floor lamp in grey or
orange
