Dress your lamp to impress

Lampshades are perhaps the easiest home decor update, and Joules has plenty to offer in that department. With a variety of sizes that can fit table lights, floor lights and ceiling or wall lights; you'll be spoiled for choice!

Here's our tips on how to find the right lampshade:

  • Get the right size: check your lighting fixture and the description of the lampshades to make sure it fits

  • Choose one of the many patterned shades for a pop of colour in a neutral setting 

  • If you have multiple light fixtures in the same room that need shades, try to choose items from the same collection

A low budget style update can even come in the form of a table lamp with a visually striking base - Joules features various textures and shapes that add an element of interest to any room.

If the sizes and colour schemes match up, you could even pair the shade that comes with the Joules base with another existing base in your home - don't shy away from mixing and matching. With both neutral and bright colours to choose from, we're confident you should be able to find something that matches what you've got in mind! 

No wires, no worries

Joules has a selection of table and wall lights that are rechargeable - a lack of plug points doesn't have to kill the mood! The table lights are compact and portable, and the wall lights need no extra electrical or wiring work - a renter's dream come true. They're also easy to move around wherever your lighting needs might take you, simply dot a couple of them around, choose colours that will go with any room in your home so that they can be placed anywhere.

Some of these are even dimmable if paired with the right bulbs, check the descriptions for both your bulb and light before you buy them - or simply ask our friendly staff to point you in the right direction. 

How to style Joules lighting in a traditional interior setting:

  • Choose brushed gold or antique brass fittings or bases, Joules has plenty!

  • Look at specific collections that feature floral patterns or intricate base or shade designs

  • If the colours in your room are neutral go with more colourful floral patterns, whereas if your room is colourful already, go with a neutral shade and metallic or pastel coloured base

  • Choose pendants or grand three or five armed ceiling lights

  • For wall lights, opt for the pull cord option - this adds a playful vintage charm

Our top range choices for a traditional look are: Helmsley, Harewood, Audley, Lynton, Highclere, Buscot and Wollaton. 

How to style Joules lighting in a modern interior setting:

  • Use layered lighting, think small compact table and wall lights dotted around - especially in living and bedroom areas 

  • Choose clean neutral bases and avoid intricate floral patterns 

  • If choosing brushed metallic bases or fixtures, steer clear of gold or bronze 

  • If choosing to add a pop of colour: less is more, let one or two colourful light shades or bases do the talking

  • Avoid using chandelier type ceiling lighting - go for bar lights or single pendants instead

Our top range choices for a more modern feel are: Hatfield, Chatworth, Apsley, Braywick and Elcot
