The days are getting colder, and the nights are getting darker. As you seek shelter from the gloomy clouds that bring about the rains and the threat of monsoons, you might want to update your lightning fixtures.

Whether you are reading through your books, entertaining a small party, or simply setting up the for a comfy night in, the right light dictates the overall mood and scene. After all, who wants to come home to the dull, unflattering light of flourescent bulbs that remind you of work? Here then are lamps that will help you brighten up your nights and ease you into that winding-down, after-work mood.

A lamp is not only a source of light, but also a source of inspiration. And I don’t mean this in a cheesy way. If you need something to remind you of trips you have taken or vacations you’ve yet to plan, the London Night Lamp by Eric Sanchez (P1,200) is good to have by your beside.Featuring details found only in the English capital painted on lamp’s shade and rendered in loud colors,it’s also a good accent to a plain bedroom or a fun fixture to look at on a stormy night.

Of course, you may want to get a lamp not just for the sake of a good light. You may want to kick it up a notch when it comes to your interiors and acquire a real centerpiece. The Luau Floor Lamp (P21,950) is a unique design by none other than renowned Filipino interior designer Kenneth Cobonpue. Made of bundled palm leaf spines tied together over a metal base then dipped in salago fiber pulp, the lamp is both sturdy and elegant. You can use it as your main source of light, especially for cozy nights in or have it as a talking point at your next party.
