As the darker days of winter set in, creating a warm and inviting home atmosphere becomes a top priority for many across the UK. Fortunately, high-street retailer Dunelm is offering a stylish solution that combines both form and function.
A Lamp That Does More
The Jakob Shelved Floor Lamp, priced at £50, is designed to be far more than just a light source. Available in three contemporary finishes—black, gold, and taupe—this piece boasts a two-in-one design. It functions as both a reliable lamp and a practical shelving unit, offering what the brand describes as practical lighting with a minimalist edge.
Standing at 159cm tall, the lamp features spacious shelves measuring 27cm by 27cm. This makes it ideal for displaying a variety of items, from favourite books and decorative ornaments to small potted plants, all while providing illumination.
Designed for Convenience and Comfort
Dunelm has emphasised ease of use in the lamp's design. Advertised as ready assembled, it features a sturdy metal construction. For simple bulb changes, it uses a universal Edison Screw socket. The lamp is topped with a shade made from fabric and iron, which is engineered to cast a warm, ambient glow, perfect for creating a cosy vibe.
Practicality is further enhanced by a 2-metre cable and a convenient foot switch, allowing users to brighten up awkward corners or spaces without needing to fumble for a switch. For aftercare, Dunelm recommends simply wiping the lamp clean with a soft cloth.
What Shoppers Are Saying
Customer reviews for the Jakob lamp are overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting its versatility and straightforward assembly. One satisfied buyer noted, Easy to assemble and stylish floor lamp. Suitable for any room and we would buy it again.
Another praised its dual functionality, saying, This lamp adds a lovely ambience to the room, while offering a bit of extra shelving space for displaying favourite things. A third reviewer called it a gorgeous lamp, perfect size with a lovely glow when on.
However, a few customers offered minor critiques. Some pointed out that the power cable, which is secured with a clip down the centre of the lamp, remains visible. One suggested that a method of concealing, or at least making it less obvious, would be great.
To give buyers confidence, Dunelm backs the Jakob Floor Lamp with a two-year guarantee and offers a returns policy.
