Touch lamps have become hugely popular in recent years. And for good reason. They’re convenient. Easy to use. And they look great. But most of us still only use them in the bedroom. Mainly because the gentle graduated light is kinder to tired eyes. And waving your hand at a light is easier than searching for a button when you first wake up! But touch lamps have a full range of uses. And if you choose wisely, you can find the perfect touch lamp for almost every part of your home.
The Best Touch Lamps for Different Parts of Your Home
The office
If you have a home office, lighting can be really important. Especially if you work in the evenings. A directable light, like the Endon Hackney or Nordlux Omari, is ideal for the office environment. Providing dedicated task lighting, they can help to prevent eye strain. While touch activation means that they can be switched on or off without breaking your concentration.
The hallway
Hallways can be pretty uninspiring places. The right lamp can change that. A touch lamp like the Endon Eternity not only allows you to illuminate the space with the wave of a hand. But can bring real character to a space. With its swirling crystal form, this is a light that will standout anywhere. Bringing warmth, grace, and character.
The living room
Living room lighting depends on your décor and tastes, but glass touch lamps are usually a winner. You can go for the sharp and stylish, like Endon Lassina, with its no-nonsense pillar base. Or something more curvy and traditional like the Martin vintage lamp. Either way, the touch activation makes these lamp as easy to use as they are attractive.
The bedroom
Lighting in the bedroom can be hard to get right. While a matching pair of touch lamps, like these Brushed copper table lamps can provide a really pleasing aesthetic, it’s worth considering other options. The frosted glass shade and three-stage dimmer of the Endon Palmer can provide a gentler glow, while still providing enough light for reading.
The dining room
Lamps in the dining room can work wonders at improving ambience without the mess and fire risk of candles. And the reflective pattern of the gorgeous Chrome and Crystal table lamp speaks for itself. Pop a couple of these on a side table, and they will bring your room to life.
The porch or patio
Sometimes you just need a light that you can grab and go. And that’s what the Endon Linterna is made for. Solar powered, this lovely looking light is just the thing for keeping on the porch or patio for when you need to pop out at night. The handle makes it comfortable to carry. While the touch interface means that you don’t have to waste time searching for the on switch. But because it provides such steady, friendly light, you could leave it on the garden table to light up alfresco dinners or cosy nocturnal garden chats.
Touch lamps are fast-becoming a home must-have. With the right design, they can change a room. The fiddle-free interface means that they’re incredibly easy to use, wherever you happen to put them. And if you shop around the clearance section, you can find a whole range of touch lamps for a very pleasing price point.
