Not ceramic, not fabric, M&S’ new designer-look lamp is crafted entirely from glass – it will be a game-changer on dark autumn nights

Just when I thought M&S lighting couldn’t get any better, the supermarket has only gone and dropped the Double Layer Shade Glass Base Table Lamp (£100), and its retro look is all you need to create a cosy atmosphere at home this autumn.

Warm lighting has not only been a huge lighting trend in 2026, but it is also perfect for transitioning into the cooler nights. Just think, nights curled up on the sofa with a soft, amber glow to keep you company.

M&S's latest all-over-glass lamp is a beautiful shade of amber, and with its retro, textured design, it’s easy to see why this lamp is already a bestseller on the website. But if you like what you see, I’d act fast, as lamps as good as this one are never in stock for long.

Is this not one of the most stylish lamps you've ever seen? I'm obsessed with the rich amber colour of the glass, coupled with its retro design.

Earlier this year, M&S dropped a designer-look glass lamp, and it was quick to sell out. We were so impressed that M&S was even drawing comparisons with Soho Home amongst the Ideal Home team.

Now the brand is dropping its AW26 collections; it seems they have no intention of letting the designer allegations slip, having dropped a gorgeous marble table lamp and now this amber glass table lamp.

The Double Layer Shade Glass Base Table Lamp has both a glass base and shade, with a built-in double layer to produce soft, circular pools of light. M&S says the cable is visible to add an industrial touch to the entire look.

Its regular, geometric design adds to its mid-century look, while the amber glass is the perfect autumn colourway. If you’re a fan of warm-toned, cosy living room ideas, this lamp simply must be part of them.

There's a good reason I'm hammering the point of a cosy glow. If I’ve learned anything at an interiors magazine, it’s that good lighting really does have the power to define the ambience of a room. Warm-toned glass such as this lamp softens and warms dark, miserable evenings - I’d bet it will be a game-changer when the nights grow longer.

'Warm-coloured glass lighting (like amber and brown) has been one of the biggest lighting trends of this year, so this gorgeous M&S lamp is very much on-trend. It's also perfect for creating a cosy atmosphere as it's going to produce a very warm shade of light. It's definitely on the pricier side but considering the designer look with a mid-century meets art deco aesthetic, I think it's worth it,’ says Sara Hesikova, Ideal Home’s Room Decor Editor.

If you’re not completely satisfied with this luxe-look glass lamp, here are a few more styles new to M&S.

This cute little mushroom lamp has a wavy glass dome which is perfectly complemented by its bronze base.

Wicker is a material I'm seeing everywhere right now, and this a brilliant example of how a stylish wicker lamp should look.

If you're looking for a statement floor lamp is fabulous. It's fabric pleats are perfect for diffusing soft lighting.

M&S amber glass lamp as completely won me over. It is a bit of an investment, but I think its designer-look is worth it.
