For anyone looking to give their home an affordable upgrade, the new M&S X Kelly Hoppen range is full of stylish, versatile pieces that are well worth a look.
Kelly herself 'absolutely adores' this £59 banded lamp from the collection, taking to social media to share how it’s been designed to fit any space and offer a statement look to your interiors.
'It’s got this fabulous black band, it’s made of linen. It's got the trim at the top and the bottom, makes it look very East meets West. It's modern, it's monochrome. It'll work with any interior you've got.'
The interior expert also pointed out its 'spot-on proportions, modern hexagonal shade and because it's neutral, you can put any colour you like with it.' And you can make it a complete aesthetic with the matching floor lamp.

The lamp from Kelly's video, the versatile and stylish piece can fit in any space and is a great way of layering lighting.
The floor lamp has a matching minimalist angular design, with a statement band detail around the shade for a contemporary look
This statement piece features a sleek, rounded base and is topped with an opaque glass globe that emits a soft, cosy glow when switched on.
Kelly explained: 'This is my banded lamp, which I absolutely adore because the proportion of it is big enough, but it's small enough [for] a side table, or even next to a bedside table.'
Offering how she herself might style a room with the lamps, she continued, 'You could have one in your bedroom on one side and have something smaller on the left, so it could be asymmetrical.'
This little nugget from Kelly is an inspired and simple way to master a layered lighting scheme for your living space. Often touted as one of the most low-effort style changes that make a big impact, layered lighting is key in creating a well-balanced and inviting atmosphere to your home. It’s a way of keeping things cosy and calming, while still functional.
As she explained in the video, adding items like the lamp and any complementary pieces can create a "modern" or "monochrome" finish, as well as nodding at an Eastern inspired style.
A key takeaway from Kelly's informative video is thoughtfully picking out a few key pieces can really inform the feel and look of any of your interiors without needing to do too much work.
