green table lamp by pooky lighting
Are you paying enough attention to your table lamps? This might seem like a random question but there are so many beautiful lights out there and, probably, a rather more limited number of tables on which to put them. So you need to get it right. And you need to think about it carefully because this is a chance to make a statement.
I have been receiving press releases from Pooky for a while now but what with one thing and another and, if I’m really honest guys, the name has been slightly distressing me so I haven’t spent much time looking at the site.

But then you know (and I know this too) never judge a book by its cover and all that. Or, in this case, never judge a shop by its name, because there are some great lamps on here. So that will teach me to ignore things on a whim. That green lamp is lovely. Imagine that against our ubiquitous grey walls. Or against a white wall with a black and white lampshade as shown. Although you can mix and match with any shade you want. Some of you will fancy something strong and coral. Which would be a brave and dramatic choice which look amazing if you have the rest of the room to carry it off.
The glass and brass is lovely too isn’t it? Or what about this rather understated brass column, which also comes in a floor version. It’s hard to find a good floor lamp – many of them are too thin and spiky and I want something with a bit of presence. I can’t bear those thin lamps with tiny heads that are like elongated task lamps. I want it tall and commanding with a great shade on it.

Don’t forget the power of mixing up something traditional with something more modern. Take this light below. The rounded shape would work in a traditional setting but that Ikat shade looks great. Better still with the orange version.

So the moral of the story is don’t be put off by a name – always dive in and check things out. You never know what treasures you might find.
