As the evenings get darker and we're all looking for ways to make our homes feel a little cosier, layered lighting becomes more important than ever. This £12 Habitat lamp, available at Sainsbury's, taps into three of autumn's biggest design trends in one compact design: mushroom-shaped lighting, confetti glass and green accents.
Perfect for shelves, side tables and windowsills, the petite lamp measures H16cm x W13.5cm, making it ideal for smaller spaces. Used alongside a ceiling light or floor lamp, it helps create the layered lighting effect designers recommend for a warmer, more inviting atmosphere. Plus, it casts a soft ambient glow without taking up valuable surface space. And at less than £15, it's an easy, budget-friendly update you won't regret.
Mushroom-shaped lighting
Mushroom lamps continue to be one of the biggest lighting trends, with their soft curves and retro silhouettes tapping into the ongoing appetite for 1970s-inspired interiors. This Habitat lamp embraces the trend with its classic dome-shaped shade. Offering both ambient lighting and sculptural appeal, it's small enough to fit neatly on a bookshelf or side table, doubling as a decorative accent by day and a cosy light source by night.
Confetti
Confetti glass remains a popular decorative finish thanks to its colourful flecks and handcrafted feel, adding depth and character to even the simplest pieces. This lamp's swirling green confetti glass design gives it a charming retro feel, while the handcrafted finish means each piece is unique. It's a small detail that makes this affordable lamp feel far more high-end than its £12 price tag suggests.
Green
Green continues to dominate interiors thanks to its calming, nature-inspired qualities. Earthy moss, olive and forest tones feel especially relevant during autumn, helping to blur the line between indoors and out while creating a cosy and grounding atmosphere. The lamp's white and green glass shade taps perfectly into this colour trend. Paired with the warm glow of the bulb, it creates a welcoming ambience that's ideal for cosy autumn evenings.
Part of the Habitat Confetti Lighting collection, this battery-powered lamp is also available in White & Rust and Blue & Green. It runs on two AAA batteries and includes a handy six-hour timer function. Cordless lamps have become increasingly popular thanks to their versatility, allowing you to create pockets of ambient light wherever you need them, without having to factor in nearby plug sockets.
It's also easy to set up. The glass shade and plastic base arrive fully assembled and ready to use straight from the box, making it a fuss-free way to add a cosy glow to your home this autumn.
