I'm drawn to any form of lighting that means the big light doesn't have to be turned on. Lamps, string lights, candles... Anything that casts a soft glow rather than a harsh glare. However, I recently bought a lamp for my living room with a too-bright bulb and a too-large lampshade. Instead of that soft, hazy, warm light, I'm creeping dangerously close to stark, big light territory. What's the fix?
Well, thank goodness I spend as much time browsing the latest homewares as I do, because I just came across the easiest way to ensure smooth ambiance with all your lighting: this Cotton Lampshade Diffuser Disc from Heal's. If you're struggling with a light that's shining a little too bright, simply pop this disc into one side of the shade and voila — the glow is diffused into something more palatable and easy on the vibes.
