I've waxed lyrical about kitchen lamps; they're the best addition you can make to your kitchen worktops, particularly as the darker evenings roll in, you'll have ambience and illumination in every corner. However, I do have one little niggle - fabric lampshades.
As someone who loves traditional style with tonnes of chintz, I've been a big fan of fabric lampshades for adding texture and softening a look, but they have no place in a kitchen. Quite frankly, the idea of a fabric lampshade being close to a cooking area where grease, cooking fumes and spills are inevitable, is very off-putting.
