There are some shops that you tend to visit, only when you have just moved into a new home or have recently finished renovating a room. Because I'm not looking for a new bed, sofa, dining table or sideboard, I hadn't been into Dwell in a while. Arriving at Goodge Street Station early for a meeting last week, however, I popped into their Tottenham Court Road store for a browse. What I discovered is that they're not just there for the big things, they have a lovely range of accessories too and a very strong lighting range this season.

Floor lights are fantastic for creating mood lighting. With the overhead lights off and this sweeping Arc floor light on, you can create a real party atmosphere in the lounge or dining area and it hardly takes up any floor space either. Small home owners should always look for floor lamps that take up a tiny footprint on the floor and that have an elegant narrow stem that doesn't block sight lines into the room beyond.

If you know exactly where you want to position them, wall lights are perfect for little homes. Beside the bed, for example, they free up space on bedside tables and they limit the need for side tables alongside sofas and armchairs. On a plain wall you can treat yourself to something intricate, whilst alongside patterned wallpaper you want something simpler that won't detract from the wall itself.
