Start at the fitting
Identify the bulb holder, supported wattage and shade attachment. Make sure ordinary replacement bulbs are available where you live.
Light with character
Lighting that changes the whole room.
Explore table, floor, wall and pendant lights by balancing atmosphere with scale, placement and safe electrical condition.
Buy the light and the condition
The right lamp creates the mood you want at the correct height. Confirm its dimensions, bulb fitting, cable, switch, plug and any rewiring before planning where it will live.
Atmosphere
Name the light you need
Task, ambient and accent lighting ask for different heights, shades and beam directions.
→02Scale
Measure shade and reach
A lamp occupies more space than its base. Include shade diameter, arm reach, cable route and switch access.
→03Safety
Know the electrical work
Old wiring is not a decorative detail. Confirm what has been replaced and arrange a qualified check when needed.
→A practical lighting inspection
Follow the cable
Inspect the full cable, strain relief, switch and plug. Ask who rewired the lamp and whether protective earthing is required.
Check fragile surfaces
Glass, ceramic, lacquer and thin metal show damage differently. Request close views of rims, joints, repairs and heat-affected areas.
