We’re still using the same pair of vintage 1960s/70 brown goose neck bedside lamps that we had in our previous house. They don’t really suit the country cottage décor of our current place.
We have a general idea about what we want but, for whatever reason, haven’t managed to find just the right ones. They’ll need to be neutral in colour; either brown, grey or sage green. I don’t want them to be girly… but I don’t want them to look masculine either. Our bedside tables are quite compact, so the lamps, too, will have to be small scale. We read, write and work in bed, therefore we’d want them to have flexible, hinged arms and shades where you can direct the beam of light depending on what we’re doing. Finally, and just as important as all the other previous points, they need to be good-looking!
So… perhaps you can see why it’s taken so long to hit on just the right ones!
