Finding the Perfect Lamp... by Maz

Thanks to Maz at Style Treaty for this contribution, Maz if you want my opinion, sell a few of your large collection of gorgeous handbags on ebay and splash out on the Louis Mulcahy lamp!

I am currently on the lookout for the perfect table lamp so I said I’d share my current favourites with the MTeriors readers.

My living room (in a rented apartment) is painted cream, the curtains are cream and unfortunately the couch is a multitude of colours including blue, pink and green!! I don’t necessarily want the lamp to match the sofa as I wont be living here for ever and I’d rather just get something neutral that could be used in another room, in another house, another time.

This is probably my favourite one and is from Louis Mulcahy, the brown is quite neutral and would probably match most modern living rooms. The base is aprx €287 and the shade would be extra. Therefore this one is off the realistic list as I definitely can’t afford that.



Homebase have a nice selection as well. (I’ve just noticed that Homebase and Argos carry very similar stock, the photos are even the same).

This one is £15 and is in Argos as well. I like the shape and the fabric of this lamp although by all accounts my other half doesn’t like these at all so maybe this is off the list as well. (Notice I said “maybe”)



I love this one but it wouldn’t suit my living room at all. It’s £25 also at Homebase and probably Argos.



They also have a nice range in Atlantic Homecare and this is my favourite, it’s €89.99.

They also have a great selection in Instore but they are pretty expensive, unfortunately they only have furniture up on the Instore website at the moment so no pictures.

Dunnes also do some nice lamps, like this one from the Paul Costello range which is €60.

Hopefully, these will give you some idea of what’s available at the moment, the lamps featured vary in price as well so there should be something to suit everyone.
