Save or Splurge? We alight on two fab floor lamps

These floor lamps provide a compact corner feature as evenings close in

Carolyn Donnelly’s gold floor lamp, left, and the wooden lamp from Oriana B, right.

Now that winter is coming, lamplight offers a gentle cocooning glow. 

Floor lamps offer this with enough light to read by while making a corner feature. They’re also more compact in a space than a smaller lamp on a side table.

SAVE 

Carolyn Donnelly’s gold floor lamp from the Eclectic range adds a touch of luxury with its warm metallic stand, and the rich burgundy shade is perfect for winter; €120, Dunnes Stores.

SPLURGE 

Warm autumnal browns and deep orange tones are synonymous with the season and make an inviting combination in the wooden floor lamp and pleated shade; €390, Orianab.com.
