The rechargeable lamp is our new interiors hero
Nothing tarnishes a stylish home more than unsightly wires peeking out beneath console tables or attempting to hide behind curtains. Enter the cordless lamp. These portable table lamps, either rechargeable or battery-operated, offer a fun, easy way to refresh your interiors and bring light to wherever you need it most at any given time – no badly-located plug sockets and ugly extension cables required.
To make the most of your cordless lamp, plug it in for a couple of hours during the day so that come dusk, it's ready for wireless use. Some of the best rechargeable lamps offer up to 15 hours of power, meaning they only need an energy boost every so often; these are particularly handy for long, dark winter nights, or for taking outside in summer to stretch alfresco meals well beyond sunset.
But the real joy of these portable lamps lies in their versatility; they're perfect for placing on kitchen counters, coffee tables or bookcases for cosy, low lighting.
Got a table lamp you love but wish was cordless? Digital creator and interiors enthusiast Claire Kennedy has a genius one-step hack for making any light wireless: simply cut the cord off your lamp and screw in a rechargeable lightbulb (watch her tutorial here).
Or, leave the scissors in the drawer and shop one of our best cordless lamps, below...
