One of my non-negotiables when it comes to my home is that I don’t like cheap-looking lighting. But also as someone a bit tight with money, you can imagine how happy I was when I spotted Very’s new lighting range, which gives a luxury look at an affordable price.
Very may not be the first place you think of when it comes to lighting. The online retailer is better known for its deals on home appliances and clothing. But I have to say the brand is nailing this year’s lighting trends with rattan details, creamy neutrals and brass detailing.
Despite the high street price tags, Very’s new lighting range has a classy designer look.
My favourite from the collection is by far the Arc Floor Lamp with Gold (£90). Standing at 1.6m, it’s large enough to make an impact without overcrowding a small living room.
Its sleek, matte black finish, coupled with gold accents, gives the lamp a contemporary look that feels quietly expensive. It’s a stunning alternative to Habitat’s gorgeous Nordlux Dial Floor Lamp (£120). And if you needed any more convincing, Very is offering next-day delivery, too.
So I selected my top six that I think need to be on your radar.
Sleek, elegant and modern this lamp has earned a spot brightening up a reading corner, or zoning a dining table in an open plan living room.
These are the sort of lights that make you want to turn the big light on! The ribbed glass detailing has a slight Art Deco look, which is set to be a huge trend this autumn.
This wall light is simple yet elegant, with its brass accents giving the light an expensive, elevated look. It also doesn't require an electrician to install it, it can be plugged in with the handy cable.
This ceramic lamp is easy on the eye that's for sure! Drenched in a soft on-trend shade of green, it will add a splash of colour to a neutral space.
Rattan has been having a real moment in lighting, and this shade is a stunning example. It is an easy-fit lampshade, so it will slip over a bulb to add an instant boho vibe to your home.
This lamp oozes visual appeal. With rope detailing and textured glass, it's very similar to a BHS light that is £20 more expensive at Debenhams. If you're a fan of coastal living room ideas or a sucker for that Nantucket or Nancy Meyers aesthetic this is a timeless style to snap up.
I love finding new hidden gems to pick up gorgeous homeware and affordable prices, and now Very is back on my hit list of places to track down lust-worthy lighting.
