Mushroom lamps: cosy lighting trend for dark evenings

Mushroom lamps have become the top interiors pick for adding an ambient glow to living rooms and bedrooms this autumn, with high-street options available from £12.

The domed silhouette delivers soft, diffused light without overpowering a room, making them a popular choice for cosy evenings. They can serve as a finishing touch to a new space or a seasonal update that won't break the bank.

Where to shop the trend

Dunelm and Habitat at Argos offer plenty of options for under £20, while Next, M&S and H&M have more for less than £30. Some are typical plug-in lamps, while others are rechargeable, portable styles that can be moved from room to room. Colours and finishes range from pastel shades to high-shine chrome and tortoiseshell.
