Standard lamps

[milkmoustache]

Our living room is just too dim to read in, so looking for an attractive standard lamp. There are a lot of frumpy old-fashioned ones out there (ie with pleated shades), chrome ones which look flimsy and a bit insubstantial, and tiny spotlight ones which look all out of proportion. Anyone seen anything classic, functional and not too huge?

I got a nice one from habitat

tell me more..!

They don't seem to do it any more but just seen this one which is rather nice.

I saw one I loved in the Tesco catalogue. here

It's in a shiny red but they do black & white too. £20 off but I was hoping it would come down more. There's also a table lamp to match.

I bought one for a client's house recently from BHS .. their lighting is a bit hit or miss but it is quite good value for money.
