Wow-factor glow

1 SWITCHED ON

Light up dark corners with this sophisticated floor lamp made from antique brass metal with five glass bubble lights that cascade in a spiral down the pole. Huxley floor lamp, £195; Draper armchair, £1,299; both John Lewis

2 ART OF GLASS

These pretty pendant lights are inspired by Victorian shades spotted in antique shops in Venice, but they’ve been given a modern makeover with just a touch of frill. Their delicate form lends a subtle elegance to a room and they’d look beautiful suspended low over a dressing table or bedside table. Chintz bowl light, £395; Plate in Blush, £445; both Curiousa & Curiousa

3 OLD SCHOOL

These mouth-blown glass pendants are a reinterpretation of the classic school lights found in 1920s classrooms, libraries and refectories. With a translucent shade, they work well with a filament-exposed light bulb and give off a wonderful ambient light. Glass School pendant, size 2, clear glass, £345 each, Davey Lighting

4 BRASS BEAUTY

Framed in antiqued brasswork, this striking pendant is designed to take centre stage. Suspend above a kitchen island or hang low over a dining table for intimate light. Go for LED filament bulbs, as they not only look good but give off a lovely, warm light, too.
