Are you looking for space saving lighting, or multi-functional lights?
Lighting and Lights are here with some of the best lighting to seamlessly fit in smaller rooms with limited space that perform more than one function.
With the cost of land reaching ever increasing values, every inch of the contemporary world is considered increasingly more important. We’re seeing compact cars becoming the future of tomorrow to fit in smaller garages next to our homes with a lesser footprint area.
Embracing this down-sizing with stoical grace, we’re rising to the challenge of creating wonderful interior designs that work with smaller or multifunctional rooms, often incorporating eco-friendly elements to help with the protection of the planet for future generations.
Lighting is something that is vital in a room, yet clever designs of modern lighting that adopt more than one function are a godsend to limit clutter and unnecessary furniture.
So, how about storage that features a light? Enter the aptly named ‘Shelfie’ which effortlessly teams form and function with useful storage. Available in white, grey and black in two different designs, you’re sure to find the perfect one to enhance your space. Ideal in a kitchen, living room or even as an alternative to a bedside table, it’s modern and contemporary practicality is sure to be a win!
Another great concept to space saving is a floor lamp with a built in shelf! Named the ‘Butler’, this is available in black or white as a floor lamp or table lamp and comes complete with matching ceiling pendants for a cohesive look. Always ready and waiting to pass you your favourite tipple, this saves the need to have a coffee or side table.
Or what about a bookend that doubles as a light? Ideal to keep your books upstanding whilst illuminating the room…
So, as we’ve mentioned, one of the key concepts to keeping smaller rooms neat and tidy is to limit clutter and furniture to what you actually require. Playing music has and probably always will be a favourite pastime and historically, we saw equipment that enabled us to do this that was extremely large and bulky. Thankfully, technology has ensured that we can listen to our playlists on smaller, more portable devices and we now have a great offering of Bluetooth speakers that are integrated in lights. These include bathroom and outdoor lights which are great!

Listen to your favourite songs whilst you put on your make-up or have a shave with perfect illumination by the ‘Tupa’ bathroom mirror. Or perhaps an outdoor light by your patio to hear the relaxing sounds as you relax and unwind from the days chores…
Another excellent feature of some contemporary lights on offer from Lighting and Lights are teamed with a USB charger as part of the design. We all have numerous devices which need charging regularly, so having somewhere close to hand when we need to charge them makes everything seem just a little bit more convenient.
The leather clad ‘Cobra’ is available in brown or white and is fully flexible, so you can angle the light where you need it.
Or the handy ‘Niko’ wall light that comes either in a right or left hand version for your convenience that features a fast inductive charging port! It’s also dimmable with a three stage touch, and has a usb charging port too…. perfect!
So, with a few of these design hacks, you’ll make the most of each and every square inch of your home whilst illuminating them in the very best light.
