If home is where the heart is, it’s only natural that my head is focused on updating my current decor situation. Like so many, being forced to see very little other than the inside of my home has meant I’ve started making some tweaks here and there. The goal? To freshen my spaces and make them something I consider to be a sanctuary; not somewhere I’m involuntarily held. As such, I spend much of my time on Instagram, analysing how others are improving their homes, be it with a lick of paint, a piece of furniture or, in this case, a new lamp from a high-street favourite.
Rachel Clifton was lucky enough to get her hands on Urban Outfitters’s now sold-out Ansel lamp.
Gone are the days when Urban Outfitters’s homeware section was compromised cute Tupperware and eclectic mugs (don’t fret, the ceramic elephant mug still makes an appearance). Now, it’s a bona fide boho interiors haven, with everything from full-on furniture (double beds, anyone?) to exclusive print collaborations with new and exciting artists. Recently, the brand’s Ansel table lamp, inspired by vintage the cult Murano glass mushroom lamp, has blown up on Instagram, and thus pulled me back into Urban Outfitters homeware department. The Ansel lamp might now be sold out (keep an eye, though, as it’s still in stock on the US site and, who knows, may make a reappearance soon), but I’ve found countless other treasures I think are just as special.
