Next's 'pretty' table lamp ideal for lighting up corners without plug sockets

Next's 'pretty' table lamp ideal for lighting up corners without plug sockets

Daily Record07-05-2025

If you have an area with no socket which needs a bit of brightening up, this lamp can help
If you live in a house with a dearth of plug sockets you'll know the struggle. Extension cables are needed just to get that electricity supply to where you want it to be, and that can result in an unsightly jumble of wires in your room.
It means that lighting up some corners can be more difficult - but Next have a stylish and practical solution to that problem. Their Confetti Glass Rechargeable Wireless Table Lamp not only looks great, but it doesn't require a plug socket to bathe your room in light.
You can transform your space for just £45 with this lamp, which features a white glass shade and a brushed gold base, perfect for adding a touch of luxury to your surroundings.
And it can be moved around too without faffing with cables because once charged, the lamp will emit light for five to eight hours, according to the retail giant.
It comes with a USB charging cable and one buyer said the "lovely little lamp" is versatile as it can be moved to any room in the house easily, reports the Liverpool Echo.
It's 20cm wide and 23.5cm tall while the brass base is 11cm across and boasts that the LED non replaceable bulb saves 90 per cent energy and therefore cuts electricity costs too.
Another rechargeable lamp with a similar look to the Next option, is the Cassia Pressed Glass Rechargeable Touch Dimmable Table Lamp from Dunelm. It's retailing at £40 and also comes with a three-stage touch feature so users can set the mood accordingly.
There's also the Ayla Origami LED Rechargeable Wireless Lamp from Dusk. It is the most affordable out of the three as it is currently on sale for £35 - and you can take another 15 per cent off when using the code EXTRA15 at checkout before midnight on Thursday, May 8.
But, for shoppers who still have the Next Confetti Glass Lamp is still top of the list, note that other customers say it is "easy to assemble" and "very pretty".
Someone wrote:"I bought this lamp for the corner of my lounge which has no electric sockets, it's a beautiful lamp the light it gives off is really bright and it is easy to charge and it last for hours. So impressed I have bought another one."
And another person agreed, adding: "Great little lamp for corners that have no plug socket, really pretty and easy to charge up."
A third shopper said: "This lamp is perfect for the areas that don't have socket outlets but need light. Easy to charge and lasts quite a long time. Also, very stylish."
There is, however, some debate over the brightness of the lamp. Some customers found it "a bit too bright" with one knocking a star off their review as a result.
Homewares deal of the week
With summer on the horizon, you'll be wanting to spend more time in your garden relaxing.
To help keep you protected from harmful UV rays, a stylish parasol can really refresh your outdoors space. Fortunately, Asda has just bought back its sell-out item that shoppers can't stop raving over.
The supermarket's highly coveted Riviera Stripe Parasol was so popular when it first launched in 2024 that it apparently "sold out in nine weeks." Now, it can be yours for just £59 when you buy it here.
The supermarket's summer garden staple is said to "bring a slice of the Riviera into any garden" thanks to its trendy striped canopy and intricate tassel edging that offers a "boho touch" to the design.
It's not just a stylish addition to your garden, as the FSC-certified wood pole has a lean function that allows you to tilt the canopy whenever you feel the position sun shift. Meanwhile, the polycotton canopy is said to be "weatherproof", making it suitable for unpredictable UK summers.
Since the Riviera Stripe Parasol sold out within just over two months last year, it's expected that it will be popular once again this year. It's also no surprise to hear that it has managed to amass glowing five-star reviews on the George at Asda website.
One delighted customer wrote: "I'm blown away by how amazing this product is. I've been wanting to get a patterned parasol with a boho touch for a while, but unwilling to spend the £150+ that they normally are. I thought I'd give this one a go, but didn't expect much for the price.
"It is exactly what I wanted. Furthermore it also tips and has a lovely case. It is stylish, good, waterproof fabric and looks like something you would get from a much fancier, 'bespoke' store. I could not recommend it more."
The Riviera Stripe Parasol can be bought online at George at Asda for £59 here.
Shoppers will have to remember to recharge the table lamp every so often, but customers confirm that charging the lamp isn't an issue, with one person saying: "Delighted with this purchase. My daughter bought me the vase to match. It's not a bright light but is adequate for my small hallway. It does need charging periodically but this has not been a problem. It is admired by visitors."
Someone else said: "Great lamp. Bigger and more substantial than expected. Once charged, it lasts a reasonable time. Throws a lovely pattern on the ceiling too. Glass is a nice weight not flimsy. Love it."
The sophisticated table lamp has an expensive feel to it, but priced at £45, shoppers can snap up two for under £100. They could be a good option as bedside table lamps.

Dunelm knocks 50% off 'comfy and classy' velvet chairs that 'every visitor admires'

Elevate the dining room with these luxurious chairs that are included in the massive summer sale. Summer is officially in full swing, making many of us want to spruce up our house. Let's face it, as soon as the sun comes out, it's time for a home interior refresh. Those looking to give their décor a bit of a change are in luck, as Dunelm is in the midst of its massive summer sale, and it has up to 50 per cent off across thousands of items for both the indoor and outdoor spaces. While one of the most basic items a home can have is a set of dining chairs, homeowners can really elevate their dining room with these "luxurious" Montreal Velvet Dining Chairs that add a touch of opulence without much fuss. Originally worth £189 for a set of two, the chic black colourway of these chairs has been dropped to just £94.50, saving 50 per cent overall. To sweeten the half-price deal, they have been designed and developed exclusively by Dunelm, meaning you won't find them anywhere else on the high street. Featuring the classic styling, but with a modern industrial twist, it is easy to see why these chairs have earned an almost perfect rating from shoppers who say they give a "sleek" and "stylish" finish to any room they are placed in. Upholstered in a soft velvet fabric and featuring a sturdy powder-coated metal frame, they are both expensive-looking and durable. Finished with a stunning quilted design and gentle sloping arms, they are sure to be a standout item in the home. While the black colourway will appeal to many modern home interiors, some shoppers may be looking for something a touch more vibrant, which is why we spotted Dusk's Iris Set Of 2 Dining Chairs in a berry colour for £76, down from £179 - a £103 saving in total. Shoppers can also find an assortment of different colours for different home interior designs with these AINPECCA Velvet Dining Chairs that cost as low as £110.99 on Amazon. However, with a 4.9 rating from hundreds of shoppers, it's understandable why Dunelm's velvet dining chairs may have stolen the show, as they have received high praise for their "super classy" design and "luxurious" aesthetic. One delighted customer wrote: "I absolutely love my chairs! They are so gorgeous. The velvet is super soft, they're sturdy and supportive for my back. "This was particularly important for me, I was so sick of my standard dining chairs, I wanted to feel comfortable in them and I tried lots of them before choosing these. They look super classy. I get lots of compliments about them." Homewares deal of the week It's time to give the home a spring refresh and Dunelm has launched its massive sale. Sometimes it's all about buying necessities for the home, and these Fifi Dining Chairs that have shoppers bagging multiple are now on offer for £31.50, down from £45, saving 30 percent off the RRP. Crafted with a solid wooden frame, these chairs can easily be paired with many different dining tables and decorated with comfy cushion. Designed with a modern curved backrest with a scallop feature, this chair would be a cute edition to any home. Currently available in apricot, blue and natural, there are chairs available for people who want to add a pop of colour to their home, as well as those who want to continue a minimalistic design. This durable seat is said to offer both style and comfort to its users, and is the ideal choice for family meals or entertaining guests. With dimensions of H 80cm x W 44cm x D 52cm, this chair will comfortably fit under a table without taking up too much space. Back to the Fifi Dining Chair, Dunelm shoppers have awarded the product a 4.5 star rating, with the vast majority of shoppers praising the chairs for their colour and how easy they are to assemble. One delighted shopper wrote: "I really love this chair! They are super comfy and they look great! They were very easy to assemble." With another shopper agreeing: "Lovely comfortable chairs! Waiting for them to come back into stock to order two more!" Buy the Fifi Dining Chairs in the Dunelm sale here. A second impressed customer wrote: "These chairs are amazing, I love them. They arrived on time and are easy to assemble. They look more expensive than they were and are very well made." Someone else remarked: "I'm in love with our new chairs. They are so comfortable and what a luxurious look they give." While there weren't many negative reviews in general, one shopper did drop a star due to them not being the easiest to clean due to the velvet material, as they said: "Good quality, only had them for few days… not too easy to clean and maybe more of occasional chairs in that sense." However, another positive review read: "They are the best dining chairs I've ever had! They are super comfy and look so stylish! Love them!" And someone else impressed with their purchase added: "I love these comfy, classy chairs and everyone who has visited me since I bought them have admired them. So glad I didn't wait any longer to buy them." Shoppers can bag the Montreal Set of Two Velvet Dining Chairs for half-price in the Dunelm sale now.

Dunelm slashes price of cooling duvet covers perfect for the heatwave

Dunelm has slashed the price of bedding to keep you cool during the balmy summer nights While everyone has been wishing for hot and sunny weather, now that we finally have it, some might find a new struggle during the warm nights: sweating and being unable to sleep. Luckily, Dunelm has cut the prices of selected bedding, helping sleepers keep cool and comfortable during the hot evenings. Dunelm shoppers can currently save up to 50% off selected bedding, which includes a range of duvet covers, but in a new sale, customers will be able to save 20% off cooling bedding sets. One of the popular styles shoppers are loving is the Fogarty Cooling Cotton Duvet Cover, originally £30 but now down to £24 for a double. It's available in seven colours and also comes in single, king, and super king sizes online. Designed to help keep bedrooms cool and comfortable through stuffy nights, the Fogarty Cooling Cotton Duvet Cover is made from 100% cotton with a naturally breathable, moisture-wicking finish. It's lightweight, soft, and perfect for summer. The breathable cotton material helps to regulate body temperature and encourages airflow while you sleep. Furthermore, the easy-care finish makes it simple to keep fresh and crisp, even in the hottest months. It's worth noting that this set includes the duvet only and doesn't include pillowcases. Alternatively, Oodie has a range of cooling blankets, which now have up to £30 off. At Dusk, some of the brand's bestsellers are reduced, including the top-rated Faro Muslin Gingham set, now with up to £88 off. In a five-star rating of Dunelm's Fogarty set, one review read: "Great cooling for motorhome in hot sunny Spain!" As one shopper pointed out, the set doesn't include a vital product: "I was disappointed, there were no pillowcases included with the duvet cover. I didn't even think to check this before buying, as I assumed they were standard." A second shopper noted: "I purchased both the duvet cover and fitted sheet and have to say it's probably one of the nicest sets I have. "It's lovely and soft, and while I have heard it keeps you cool, it definitely keeps you nice and snug also. "A third happy customer shared: "Perfect for warm weather. "I originally had the bottom sheet. I'm so glad we now have the quilt. It's soft to the touch, and while it's been warm, this has helped so much to go back to sleep. "I fully recommend it if you get too hot or struggle to sleep in the heat."
