The evenings are getting longer but not before we noticed the shortcomings in our lighting.

Lamps are endlessly versatile, easy to move around and bring a warm, inviting quality of light to a space. 

Floor-lamp designs based on vintage standard lamps are currently trending, with painted stands to give them an upcycled look.
