As spring approaches, so too comes the familiar itch to overhaul my home. But instead of calling the builders or embarking on a costly and unnecessary renovation, I am sensibly injecting renewed energy with smaller shifts: moving an accent chair here, adding a plant to a shelf there, tossing a cozy throw over the sofa. And in doing so, I’m increasingly attuned to the ‘one amazing thing’ design theory: that a single, well-chosen hero piece can transform the look, feel, and overall thoughtfulness of a room.
Sculptural vases and lamps are perfect vehicles for this, especially in smaller spaces. And I just came across three table lamps from Next that are so avant-garde, I genuinely mistook them for vases at first glance, only realizing their true purpose on closer inspection.
