IMAGE.ie interiors columnist Vogue Williams shares where she looks to for colourful, eccentric lighting, from Irish creators to Soho House dupes.
Lighting can change everything about a room, it can make a cold dark space warm and cosy so it’s essential to get it done right. I adore the lighting in my place in Howth, I got it all done with Ventura designs and I feel like they are a real feature of the house.
I think you need to have so many different light sources in a room to make it feel cosy. You have your overhead lights, lamps, wall lights and floor-standing lamps for that snug feel.
I also think sourcing lighting and getting the right pieces is really difficult, lighting and coffee tables take me forever to decide upon for some reason. It might seem a little strange that I am now writing a column on lighting when it’s something I find so hard to source but I have since gone into a lighting rabbit hole!
It all started with Curiousa. I spotted them on Instagram and I think they are such an unusual brand. The Candy Coloured collection is stunning and would bring a fun element to a room.
This Sputnik chandelier from Wayfair is pretty out there but I think it looks so cool, it’s a show stopper in your home for sure.

Pooky Lights have every kind of light sources you might need and are reasonable enough on the pricing front. I love the bright colourful ones and I have bought some wall lamps from them and was impressed with the quality. I spent much of my lighting rabbit hole on this site.
Buster and Punch are known for their industrial style, I love the masculinity of this chandelier. I would go for the brass finish and you will have Soho House vibes in your kitchen.
I am holding back on buying this Bryan O’Sullivan piece of lighting until my birthday, it’s very important to buy yourself a present and this will be mine. I have spoken about the Boss boys on my page before, I adore everything they do. I have three of their lamps and one floor lamp and now this piece for above my kitchen table is next!
Mullan Lighting is an Irish brand I found online, they have tonnes of options for great lighting. This pendant light and wall light are two of my favourite pieces of theirs.
