This year, mushroom lamps have taken over interiors, popping up everywhere on the high street, and they’ve become our top pick for adding an ambient glow to our living room and bedroom. You won’t find the big light on in our house. Thanks to the domed silhouette, mushroom lamps deliver that soft, diffused light we all love, without overpowering a room. Plus, they can be the perfect finishing touch to a new space, or a seasonal update that won’t break the bank. Thankfully, there’s no shortage of options on the high street, at some very reasonable prices. Dunelm and Habitat at Argos have plenty for under £20, while Next, M&S and H&M have even more for less than £30. Some are typical plug-in lamps, while others are rechargeable, portable styles that can be moved from room to room. There’s also an array of colours and finished to pick from, spanning pastel shades, high-shine chrome and tortoiseshell. Whatever your budget, there’s a mushroom lamp out there with your name on it, here’s how we’re shop the interiors trend.
