My Favourite Online Stores for Affordable Lighting

Ok deep breath, so this is it…my name is Helen and I’m a lighting addict. Yes sad but true, it seems that my growing fascination of ridiculously expensive lighting fixtures is getting out of control. Unless I win the lottery there will never be a time when I will be able to adorn my home with the shimmering beauties I have stacked up on my Pinterest boards. Maybe its the dark winter months drawing me like a moth to a flame, either way its time to tighten the purse strings and share with you my favourite online places for beautiful yet AFFORDABLE lighting.

ROCKET ST GEORGE

Rocket St George Two-Tone Smoked & Clear Textured Glass Pendant Light £135

Bohemian and eclectic, Rocket St George is a great place to find unusual and attention grabbing lighting, perfect if your lounge scheme needs an injection of atmosphere or playfulness.

MADE IN DESIGN

Precise Table Lamp by House Doctor £169 from Made in Design

Made in Design offers an extensive range of lighting from a wide choice of designers from around the world. Prices go from reasonable to slightly unreasonable however, search by ‘lowest priced’ first and you will find some eye-catching and trend-driven pieces that will lend an edge to your chosen room.

SKLUM

Ircus Lamp £81.47 by SKLUM

If you’re looking for modern Scandi vibe furnishings at a very competitive price tag then SKLUM is a good bet for finding your perfect piece. This wall sconce particularly caught my eye with its ceramic plates, marble and brass details, available in a choice of green or blush at £81 its a bit of a bargain.

NORDIC NEST

Super Living Mini Urban Pendant Lamps £52 from Nordic Nest

Nordic Nest has a really great offering of homewares and furnishings with a vast range of brands sourced across Europe. As the name suggests, it centres around the Scandi vibe once again however, you can find classic to more editorial inspired pieces featured side by side.

ETSY

Klimoppe Wall Lamp £126.90 from Etsy

Etsy is a veritable treasure trove of handmade furnishings offering the opportunity to add a unique piece to your home decor. With makers from across the globe shipping to the UK we can access trends that have not yet reached our high street stores. This origami wall lamp by seller ‘nelianna’ would be a great playful addition to a children’s bedroom.

WARMLY

Warmly Decor Emmet Modern Nordic Art Deco Wall Lamp £123

I was a little at odds as to whether I would include Warmly into my list as I’ve seen quite a few negative reviews regarding their customer service however, my own experience has been without issues so I will continue. Contemporary designs with a low price tag, their lighting offers those on a tight budget to achieve a designer look, many of the designs ‘echo’ those by the high-end lighting design companies so its well worth a look.
