Best Online Interiors Shops for Lighting
Although I’m always on the lookout for a bargain, there are some things I will sometimes spend more on. One of those things is lighting. If I find a light I know I’ll love forever, I’ll spend a bit more. I tend to mix and match with cheaper and more expensive lighting so, whether you’re looking for a bargain or you want to treat yourself, here’s my round up of the best online lighting shops.
Graham and Green - Best for……something quirky

If I’m on the lookout for something a bit different, I know I can always count on Graham and Green. Their gold mouse lamps come in several different styles and would add interest to any space.
If you’re looking for something just as interesting but a bit more understated, you won’t be disappointed - we used their art deco Truman pendant light in our hallway and it sets off the space perfectly with a nice warm glow.

Heals - Best for……an investment

Established in London in 1810, Heals has been at the forefront of design in Britain for centuries. From iconic lamps by Anglepoise to industrial designs by Tom Dixon, you know you’re getting a quality piece if you buy from Heals.

Industville - Best for….(you guessed it!) Industrial

If you’re going for an industrial look or want to add an industrial twist, look no further than Industville. Their products are great quality at affordable prices. They also sell fabric flex in different styles and colours so instead of going for a boring old white plastic pendant cord, why not add a pop of colour?

IKEA - Best for…a bargain

Whether you’re looking for a bedroom statement light or accent lighting for a kid’s room, you can always count on IKEA for stylish, affordable lighting products

Pooky - Best for…Traditional with a twist

Although Pooky do offer some contemporary styles, what they do best is traditional lighting without an old-fashioned feel. They often pair traditional-styled bases with more contemporary shades, creating a more eclectic look.
In our dining room, I used Pooky’s Lilee lamp base with a £10 shade I picked up from Homesense
They also have a great selection of outdoor lights if you’re looking for garden lighting ready for summer!
houseof - Best for…..Contemporary

Houseof is great if you want to make a statement with a contemporary look. They’ve recently collaborated with interior designer, Emma Gurner, to create the lovely pleat range. They have a range of flush ceiling fittings too so perfect for new-build homes where the ceilings are lower. I also love their company values of “designing beautiful products” and “being nice to people”!

If you need a lamp but your sockets are in awkward locations, there’s a great selection of rechargeable lamps available to buy now - take a look at my blog post.
