As winter approaches and the chill sets in, it's time to think about keeping our homes warm and comfortable.

A room deserves to have its features delicately lit so that the dynamic interplay of light and shadows creates that cosy and inviting feeling we all crave.
Adding some well placed lighting to a table, sideboard or chest of drawers is one of the easiest ways to achieve this, and for me a glass table lamp i ..read more
