Shoppers can achieve a high-end look without the high price tag by opting for high-street alternatives to designer lamps. A comparison by the Daily Mirror reveals that the Woodland Table Lamp from Heal's, priced at £209, can be replaced with a nearly identical model from Sainsbury's Habitat for just £35, saving £174.
Habitat's Kiro Metal Rechargeable LED Touch Table Lamp is wireless and portable, making it suitable for areas without plug sockets. It comes in three shades—Taupe, Burgundy, and Charcoal—and has received positive reviews, with 75% of customers recommending it. One reviewer noted it 'looks and feels much better than I imagined,' though another flagged the battery life as 'extremely low.'
Another designer alternative is the Monroe Porcelain Lamp from Heal's, priced at £179, inspired by Marilyn Monroe's skirt. A cheaper option is the Pleated Table Lamp from M&S at £69, saving £110. The M&S lamp features a gold-tone frame and a pleated shade, with customers praising its 'vintage style' and 'perfect height' for console tables.
Both affordable options offer similar aesthetics to their designer counterparts, making luxury lighting accessible to a wider audience.
