In many homes across Ireland there's often that one corner - whether in the living room, hallway or bedroom - that could really use a stylish lamp. But with no plug socket nearby, households give up on the idea, feeling like they've run out of options.
However, a clever design from Next could be the solution. The popular retailer's White/Gold Confetti Glass Rechargeable Wireless Table Lamp, priced at €59, is quickly becoming a must-have for homes with 'plugless corners'. It offers a trendy yet practical solution to adding lighting to spaces that would otherwise be left in the dark.
With its stunning confetti glass shade and brushed brass base, this portable, rechargeable lamp brings both beauty and function to any room. The wireless design makes it the perfect option for those corners where a plug socket is out of reach. Its compact size makes it perfect for anything from a small hallway, to a lounge or a bedroom.
With a charge time of five hours, the lamp promises up to eight hours of use on a full charge. And because there's no need for permanent installation, it can easily be moved from room to room.
Customers have been leaving rave reviews for this pretty table lamp, with many highlighting how it fits perfectly into areas that would typically be hard to light. One happy customer wrote: "Great little lamp for corners that have no plug socket, really pretty and easy to assemble and charge up." Another added: "I brought this lamp for the corner of my lounge which has no electric sockets it's a beautiful lamp, the light it gives off is really bright and it is easy to charge and it last for hours, so impressed I have brought another one."
Shoppers also told how the lamp is often admired by visitors to their home. One review reads: "Delighted with this purchase. My daughter bought me the vase to match. its not a bright light but is adequate for my small hallway. It does need charging periodically but this has not been a problem. It is admired by visitors."
The aesthetic appeal of the lamp is also highly rated, with another reviewer mentioning: "Great lamp. Bigger and more substantial than expected. Once charged lasts a reasonable time. Throws a lovely pattern on the ceiling too. Glass is a nice weight not flimsy. Love it."
The wireless function was also praised, with one customer writing: "A very pretty lamp, which matches the vases I have. It can be located anywhere, since it is rechargeable. Fast to recharge. Pleasant light." Another shared: "Very pretty and love it. It's so easy to recharge and can be moved around so convenient to use."
However, one customer noted that the light may be a bit brighter than expected. They said: "A really nice lamp but I find it a bit too bright. I'm thinking of painting the bulb orange or yellow for a more relaxing glow." For more information or to buy it, visit Next Ireland's website here.
If you're looking for alternatives, Amazon sells the ZONJIE Rechargeable Table Lamp, which is wireless and battery operated, which is cheaper than the Next option, at €19.86 here. One happy customer explained: "My daughter has a dark inlet in her bedroom which just needs a bit of light and ambience in the evening. This lamp is perfect for that. I love the gold colour and the narrow style. It takes up hardly any room on top of her chest draws but provides just that little bit of extra light to brighten up the area. I like the fact that its USB chargeable so there are no annoying leads and there are also three different light modes with slightly different colours. It's excellent quality and looks fantastic in her room so I'm happy to recommend it."
Meanwhile, Homestore and More have the Regan Cordless Table Lamp, described as "the perfect blend of elegance and convenience" for €39.99 here. One reviewer said: "It works perfectly in an awkward space with no easy access to a plug. It looks dearer than it was."
