<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Choosing a lampshade sounds simple. It isn’t. And after getting it wrong more than once, I’ve learnt what actually works. If you’re wondering how to choose the right lampshade size, shape or style, here’s what actually works in a real home.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I thought choosing a lampshade for my new tenancy was going to be a breeze. But no, far from it!&nbsp; I mean, I could opt for the £2 paper shade from Ikea and be done, but we all know that we can do better than that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But where do you start? Looking in magazines at homes we can only dream of living in? Doom scrolling on Pinterest, only to find the one you love is from the US? Visit the major furniture retailers where you are overwhelmed with styles and large price tags? These are all great for ideas and can help you think about the various options and looks that are current.&nbsp; But don’t help you make choices that are right for your home.</p>
</div></div>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Consider shade shape and light direction, as this can have a big impact on the mood lighting in a room:</li>



<li>Understanding the impact the fabric can have on lighting is another factor to consider – and something I recently learnt about when trialling the shades in my new apartment.&nbsp; Here are a few things I learned:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Linen = soft, diffused light&nbsp;</li>



<li>Cotton = clean and bright&nbsp;</li>



<li>Metal = directional, more dramatic, casts bold shadows&nbsp;</li>



<li>Rattan = textured shadows</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Sit in one room and look out to the hall / into the next room&nbsp; – is there synergy? Or can you see lots of shades and lots of styles?&nbsp; Here are a few ideas to help improve the look across the different spaces:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Choosing openwork shades different textures/finishes</li>



<li>Choosing tonal colours</li>



<li>Having a print in one room, and a plain one with one of the colours from the pattern in the next</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>You don’t have to be “matchy matchy” in any one room for shades or styles, let’s leave that in the 90s – but they should work cohesively – so an industrial look could use different metals, or animal print could be different colours. Remember that shades on the ceiling and any side lights should work together and not against each other.</li>
</ul>

<div class="wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-d24cb276"><h2 class="uagb-heading-text">Common Lampshade <em>Mistakes </em></h2></div>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Not all fixings are the same – I failed on my first attempt when the shade fixing was too low for the ceiling light with no pendant -anyone need a rattan lampshade?</li>



<li>The colour and power of the bulb is important – don’t have different colours in the same room, warm is cosier than cool (clue is in their names).&nbsp; Use the lumens to help create the right mood in a room and support in the right use of the light source – low lumens are calm and high lumens are functional. Always check the warning labels on shades for the max power of the bulb that should be used with it – we don’t want any fires!</li>



<li>It doesn’t need to be expensive! I found an £8 shade in B&amp;M Bargains that was almost identical to the £20 shade in B&amp;Q, which I thought was a steal compared to the £80 shade I’d seen in a magazine. So shop around, use Google image search, look on eBay &amp; Vinted. You never know what bargains you may land!</li>



<li>Lighting isn’t just from the ceiling – think about how you layer in other lighting sources – table and floor lamps are great for ensuring there is light for tasks – so think about where you read or eat for example and add lighting there.&nbsp; Candles add ambience and help brighten darker spaces that don’t warrant a light.</li>
</ul>

<div class="wp-block-uagb-container row2 uagb-block-882ccd6a alignfull uagb-is-root-container"><div class="uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap">

<div class="wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-1b3e32d0"><h2 class="uagb-heading-text">What Size Lampshade<br><em>Do I Need?</em></h2></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Size matters – big isn’t always best. So what size of lampshade should I choose? Answer, they should echo the room sizes. Don’t overwhelm small rooms with huge shades, and likewise large rooms don’t shine at their brightest with tiny lights. As a guide for most standard modern homes smaller shades would work best in halls and bathrooms, larger in living spaces and bedrooms. If you have high ceilings be sure to ramp up the sizing and be bolder.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The style of the bulb matters – funky visible looks are on trend.&nbsp; I switched out some very boring standard bulbs for some incandescent ones – slightly shorter lifespan but very aesthetically pleasing – LED style are available in some brands if that’s a preference.&nbsp; If you are searching online look for “retro bulbs” or “Decorative Filament Bulbs” – just watch the size and style of the fixing!</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">Sometimes we need to be a bit bold in our choices and be prepared to go out of our comfort zone to try something unexpected, and my niece was keen for me to go with a bold pink shade with a leopard print interior (I reckon it started as a joke) – as much as these are 2 of my favourite things in life I wasn’t convinced to start with – but she absolutely nailed it! It’s a talking point in the room for sure! It allows me to layer in my personality and add another layer of interest to an otherwise bland tenancy property. Reckon I may have found myself a wee apprentice!</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">Don’t be afraid to add personality</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So if you thought choosing a lampshade was difficult I can assure you, it’s a breeze compared to choosing a dining table.&nbsp; I mean, you can take a lampshade, or four, home try them in the room and make a decision to keep or return.&nbsp; However, a dining room table is a bigger commitment, not to mention a bigger headache to return if you get it wrong!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I thought my mission would be simple: a black dining table for four, with some coloured chairs.&nbsp; I couldn’t be more wrong!&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re wondering how to choose the right dining table for your space, there’s more to think about than you might expect:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>What space do you have available – not just whether it fits, but whether you can sit comfortably and move around it</li>



<li>What shape – round, square, oval or rectangular all change how a room flows</li>



<li>Is it extendable (or not) and how they work (watch little fingers with fold-down styles)</li>



<li>What material – wood, glass, laminate… think about durability and how you’ll use it</li>



<li>Do you prefer the look of a solid base or legs – will it get in the way when you sit? </li>
</ul>



<div class="wp-block-uagb-container box pnk uagb-block-dbd4c03f">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Who knew it was so complex? I made the mistake of asking Google to find me my “ideal dining table set”, and to say it was way off the mark is an understatement. So rather than leave it to chance, I have been out and about scouring local furniture shops.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Go and see some tables in person. Even if you don’t buy from those shops, you’ll quickly rule out what doesn’t work.  You might not be buying from these shops, but at least by seeing things you can rule out what won’t work, and what you dislike, now you have seen it.  Make notes of where you see the items you like – trust me you’ll thank me for it later!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Take photos of anything you like. You can then use image search to find better prices or similar styles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Take a tape measure and make notes on the additional space these tables take up with chairs, and most importantly the additional space needed to get in and out of the table comfortably.</p>

<div class="wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-f1455a59"><h2 class="uagb-heading-text">Things to<em>Avoid</em></h2></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Carefully consider do you really want glass</strong>&nbsp;– I learnt this the hard way.&nbsp; My flatmate came home one day thinking we’d been burgled… but the glass table had actually shattered while we were out.&nbsp; According to the supplier, the sunlight through the window may have caused it to crack. We were finding glass for months.&nbsp; Safe to say, I’m cautious about glass now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Don’t oversize it</strong>. If you need a four-seater most of the time, buy that and use an extendable option when needed.&nbsp; The only exception is if you have the space for a larger table to sit comfortably in the room. But a bit like the lampshades, bigger isn’t always best.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Practicalities of moving it</strong>&nbsp;– This does depend on your situation. If you move often, flexibility matters more than size. An extendable table gives you options without locking you into one layout.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Going rogue on the source</strong>&nbsp;– a purchase from an unknown website or low rated find on Ebay or Amazon is a risk.&nbsp; Do your due diligence so you have confidence that you will get what you are expecting, as opposed to a version of it.&nbsp; I hear too many stories about colours not being as shown and quality lacking on purchases from clients who have gone down this route. Of course, they’re not all horror stories, but please do approach with caution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Check chairs fit&nbsp;</strong>– allow around 60cm per person at the table. Also, make sure chairs can pull out fully without hitting walls or furniture.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">I feel a bit like Goldilocks – one table is too big, another not quite right, and the budget is… a work in progress.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Is it just me, or do lighter nights, spring flowers, and the smell of freshly cut grass bring you joy and a spring in your step?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s that time of year for me, when I get all excited about the warmth and glow of the coming months.&nbsp; Generally, this sparks another opportunity to deep clean and refresh my apartment.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I thought I’d share a few of the things I do to freshen up my home at this time of year.</p>
</div></div>
</div></div>

<div class="wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-2a7a4fca graphic-inverse centered"><h2 class="uagb-heading-text">The Spring <em>Clean</em></h2></div>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">Whether you go all in for a huge deep clean, or cherry pick rooms or single tasks, a clean home always feels good for the soul!&nbsp; I thought I’d a share a few tips from my own spring clean routine that might inspire you.&nbsp; Of course, if you are time poor you can find independent cleaning teams who can do it for you – but I’d say, always go with a recommendation for them.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Swap out your duvet for the season &#8211; </strong>as much as I love a winter duvet, I don’t want to be overheating once the weather turns.&nbsp; So I make sure my summer duvet gets a freshen before it gets popped on.&nbsp; If your washing machine isn’t big enough there is usually a local launderette who can help you out!</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Steam clean the mattress </strong>&#8211; I read an eye-opening article about the importance of this, and I can’t stress how disgusting our mattresses can be and what can build up in there over time. Now you may have a steam cleaner that has a fabric attachment you can use, but if you don’t you can still achieve a great clean with the following hack: First, mist your mattress with a solution of distilled water, rubbing alcohol, and essential oils. Then, use your steam iron over a damp cloth (never directly on the mattress!) to deep-clean and sanitise before a final vacuum, revealing a remarkably fresh sleep surface.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Deep clean the corners</strong> &#8211; I absolutely love the excuse for getting out the steam cleaner.&nbsp; Get a decent deep clean done by going around the edges of the sinks/shower/white goods/etc.&nbsp; Have a cloth ready to wipe away the grime!&nbsp; To avoid overwhelm, I do this in bite-size chunks &#8211; usually a room a week.&nbsp; That said, once I start seeing the results, I do sometimes get carried away. It’s a very satisfying job.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Extendable Dusters</strong> &#8211; I swear by a telescopic one for getting into corners, over lampshades and all those spots you usually ignore.&nbsp; We all have dust lurking, there’s no shame in it.&nbsp; A seasonal clean will sort it out.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Windows show the dirt more in sunshine </strong>&#8211; Don’t forget to clean the inside of your windows &#8211; let the light stream in.&nbsp; I use a microfibre cloth to get a streak-free finish, after cleaning my windows with white vinegar spray.&nbsp; I also use a toothbrush (don’t worry it’s for cleaning only!) to clean inside the frame itself and get rid of the grime that lurks in the seals.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph">If you live in a hard water area and Limescale isn’t your friend, I have a couple of tips for you to keep the sparkle and shine in place:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>I don’t go daft on harsh chemicals, however when it comes to Limescale I swear by Viakal to keep on top of the stains on the tiles and in the bath.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>If you have a black granite sink use Bar Keepers friend powder to get rid of the stains and build up and then use a paper towel to wipe over the dried surface with olive oil. I know it sounds odd, but it brings the sink back to a deep black shine and helps repel water. No more white tide marks.&nbsp; You need to reapply fortnightly – but it works a treat!</li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>If you have black fittings in the bathroom, then use the above hack but instead of olive oil use a little baby oil.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<p class="list1 wp-block-paragraph">Now the clean is done, I like to tweak and freshen my surroundings, it’s like the icing on the cake of a job well done.<br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Fresh flowers</strong> &#8211; whether it’s Daffodils in March, Tulips in April or Roses in May, I love to have colourful fresh flowers in my home.&nbsp; These aren’t expensive and can be picked up for a few pounds per bunch but add a touch of joy to any home.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Review your outlook</strong> &#8211; if you have a garden, and there isn’t any life as yet, why not pop in some flowering bedding plants to a border or tub.&nbsp; Looking out to colour in the garden can really brighten your day. No garden, but a balcony? Not a problem a small pot with something like begonias could quickly freshen the space.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also like to <strong>move my decorative pieces</strong> around &#8211; vases, candles, little objects. It’s a simple way to make a room feel different without buying anything new.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Scent is important</strong> &#8211; how your home smells is key. It’s time for the heavier, spiced scents to step back and bring in something lighter &#8211; fresh, clean, and a bit more uplifting.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now it may well be this is your home office, yoga studio, or dressing room (even all three!) but when you have friends to stay be sure to keep this space as clear as possible. Have clever ways to conceal your own stuff, such as screens or ottomans. Give them space to sit their bags/unpack. Oh, and a wee rail or coat stand can be a real help for them to hang their outfits on, or even their bath towel – there are plenty of options on Amazon and Temu which can be folded away when guests aren’t staying. This will help this feel more like a home from home and make the space more manageable when they visit.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">seems like a no brainer, but if you don’t use the space often you may not realise that these can be hidden behind beds/furniture.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now this seems obvious, but just in case it isn’t, make sure there’s a bedside table or shelf within reach.- whether that’s for sitting a glass of water, your phone or glasses on or for that all important bedside lamp, it makes life so much easier. Personally, I’d say it’s best to have a bedside light in a room – unless the main light switch is next to the bed.&nbsp; Nothing worse than not having your bearings and trying to cross the room to find the bed in the pitch dark – we all know that’s going to end with a stubbed toe!&nbsp; Lighting plays a big part in how a room feels and operates – something I’ve learnt the hard way when choosing lampshades for my own home….. you can discover all about that in my following blog!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Condensation was described to me as a rain cloud.&nbsp; The warm air pulls the moisture out and then it deposits it on cold surfaces as condensation, whether that’s the window or an external wall in extreme cases.&nbsp; If this isn’t managed it results in mould and damp conditions – not an environment anyone wants to be living in!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, if you want your home to feel warm, organised and inviting during the colder months, a mix of good maintenance and thoughtful styling makes a big difference. Winter brings shorter days, colder rooms and higher moisture levels, which can affect everything from paintwork to soft furnishings. With a few realistic changes, you can protect your space, prevent condensation and create a space that looks good and feels good.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">Condensation is the biggest winter issue in most homes – and if you’ve ever wiped down a window only for it to come back the next morning, you’ll know what I mean. Good airflow keeps rooms dry and protects walls, windows and furniture.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Keep trickle vents open</strong>&nbsp;– They’re there for a reason, even if they don’t feel like it in winter. A steady flow of fresh air reduces moisture and keeps rooms healthier.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Use extractor fans</strong>&nbsp;– Run them during and after cooking or showering. This is one of the most effective ways to stop condensation forming on cold surfaces.&nbsp; It’s not glamorous and often not quiet, but it’s one of the quickest ways to stop condensation building up.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Move furniture slightly away from external walls –&nbsp;</strong>Even a small gap prevents trapped moisture and helps air circulate behind sofas, beds and cupboards.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Move furniture slightly away from external walls –&nbsp;</strong>Even a small gap prevents trapped moisture and helps air circulate behind sofas, beds and cupboards.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Open windows daily</strong>&nbsp;– Even for 5mins. Yes, even when it’s freezing. It makes more difference than you think.&nbsp; I make it part of my daily routine. I get up, open the windows have my shower, get ready and then close them before I leave the house again. Let the stale air out and fresh air in.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Wipe condensation off daily</strong>&nbsp;– You have to help reduce the moisture in the air. As much as wiping it with a cloth helps, the most efficient way of managing and reducing moisture for me has been using a Karcher window vac (Other brands are available!).&nbsp; This takes the moisture away and keeps the window dry.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Use a Dehumidifier</strong>&nbsp;– Not only is this great for taking moisture out of the air, I love it in winter months for drying my clothes indoors quicker.&nbsp; Let’s be honest, we all have to do it and yet drying our clothes this way adds a LOT of moisture to the air.&nbsp; So this is a win win in my opinion!</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">These habits form the foundation of winter property care and support long-term home maintenance.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">What I’ve learnt is that a room can feel warm and cosy without being closed in – you just need to let it breathe as well.&nbsp; Interior styling should feel cosy but still allow your home to breathe. Choose pieces that give comfort without closing a room in, and avoid adding too many items.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Swap seasonal accessories –</strong>&nbsp;Heavy layers trap moisture. And that’s where problems start. Switch to textured cushions, warm throws and thicker curtains, but remove summer layers instead of doubling up.&nbsp; Store any unwanted soft accessories in airtight storage bags – Store any spare soft furnishings in airtight bags – I love vacuum packs. They protect everything and shrink it down so it’s far easier to store. My go-to for storage? Hiding them inside suitcases. Out of sight, no extra storage needed. Hide them away in until you need them again.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Choose natural, breathable fabrics –</strong>&nbsp;Cotton, wool and linen help regulate temperature and reduce dampness around soft furnishings.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Keep radiators clear –&nbsp;</strong>Avoid placing large furniture in front of them. You get better heat while keeping moisture at bay.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">These choices help you achieve a cosy winter style while supporting your home’s health. It doesn’t take much. A bit of airflow, a few smart swaps, and your home feels warmer, fresher and far easier to live in – even in the middle of winter.</p>
