Despite limited room for additional table lamps at home, the stylish, designer-inspired options from H&M are provoking my desire to make an exception
In the world of interior design, achieving a high-end aesthetic doesn't always have to break the bank. Sara Hesikova, the Content Editor at Room Decor and a Certified Expert in Training on Furniture at the platform, has been highlighting this trend with her reviews of homewares, including lighting.
One brand leading the charge is H&M Home. The Swedish retail giant is offering designer-look buys at a lower price, allowing people to achieve a luxurious aesthetic for less. H&M's table lamp range, in particular, has caught Sara's attention.
Sara has selected six top picks from H&M's current table lamp offering. One of her favourites is a glossy metal lamp with an on-trend cherry red or chrome finish. Another standout is a graphic black-and-white design, available in a smaller version for just £24.99.
H&M's table lamp range focuses on various textures and finishes, including a wood grain finish and a crepe paper-effect finish. There is also a metal lamp available with a curved design and a sunny orange colorway, which also comes in a white colorway.
Other high street brands are also making waves in the lighting game. Marks & Spencer, Habitat, and John Lewis are all offering designer-look lighting trends that align with luxury and artistic styles. For example, M&S Home features the Remi table lamp, which has a stylish, expensive-looking design with slim wiggly arms and a cone-shaped wicker shade, priced affordably around £79.
Crate & Barrel, in collaboration with interior designer Brigette Romanek, offers a collection of low-key luxury lighting with materials like burnished brass, veined alabaster, and solid marble. These brands provide lighting fixtures that imitate luxury designer aesthetics while remaining accessible on the high street.
In 2024 and 2025, there has been a notable increase in cool lamps and lighting trends from high street brands. Popular styles include magnetic track systems, cove lighting, globe lamps, and statement artistic designs that push boundaries in color, form, and materials. Many of these modern fixtures serve as functional art pieces and are seen in collections like Curiousa’s Carnival and collaborations like Lladró x Lee Broom’s Cascade collection.
Sara Hesikova graduated from London College of Fashion with a bachelor's degree in fashion journalism in 2016. Prior to focusing on interiors, Sara worked with niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like Glass and Alvar, and copywriting for luxury bed linen brand Yves Delorme. She joined the platform as a News Writer in July 2023 and became a Content Editor in June 2024. Despite having limited space, Sara has a wish list filled with H&M table lamps.
In summary, high-end and designer brands are known for making attractive light fixtures, such as Tom Dixon. However, with brands like H&M Home leading the way, affordable designer-look lighting trends are becoming more accessible on the high street.
Mid-century modern aesthetics are being recreated by high street brands like H&M Home, making it possible for people to achieve an interior-design lifestyle with home-and-garden products that imitate designer looks without the high price, such as H&M's table lamps with on-trend finishes. Other brands like Marks & Spencer, Habitat, and John Lewis are also offering stylish, designer-look lighting trends that are accessible on the high street, some even featuring materials like burnished brass and veined alabaster.
